Pink Floyd The Wall
Got into a discussion about this album yesterday evening with some co-workers. Some very polarizing opinions came up to say the least.
I love it to be honest. Yes, it's dark but it's supposed to be dark and if you're trying to interpret it as a simple linear, simple story you've already lost the battle. I've never looked up anyone else's interpretation and probably never will. I think it's simply a story about a musician that's gone mad from drug use and fame. Mommy issues didn't help either. 01 - Sucks 10 - Pure Awesomeness |

9. Has one of the best guitar solos I’ve ever heard (twice in the same song).

Their fourth masterpiece in a row. I haven't listened to all four sides in a long time, but for me thematically it's a pretty great album. I've thought the Dark Side of the Moon was their most mature record on those themes, and it would have made more sense had the Wall come years before DSOTM instead of the reverse. Anyway it gets a top rating from me.

Great album. Comfortably Numb is one of the greatest songs of all time.
Ironically, the song on the album I probably like the least is Another Brick in the Wall, which seems to get the most airplay on the handful of classic rock stations that I listen to. Much like Bohemian Rhapsody, I never really cared all that much for it, have heard it a million times, and now I'm just sick of it. Never get tired of Comfortably Numb, though. |

I realize it's a bit of an outlier, but my favorite Floyd song is On The Turning Away and it's not particularly close. Hell, that may be my favorite song period. I like Gilmour's solo at the end of that a lot more than Comfortably Numb.

Not even among top three Pink Floyd Albums. For me it is a coin flip for 4th place with Meddle. The Wall does contain some truly great songs, Comfortably Numb first among them, but there is just too much self-indulgent filler that Roger Waters should have left at the therapist office to justify a double album.
Still...it's Pink Floyd, so I give it an 8. |

A few incredible songs, but mostly overly indulgent schlock. I loved it as a teenager, but as a 40 something it barely ranks ahead of solo Roger stuff, which is to say I’m not much of a fan. It ranks somewhere around 7th or 8th in terms of my favorite Floyd albums.
