Is there anybody out there?

I, like many many people out there in rockland, just cannot listen to The Wall after tasting such MASTERPIECES like Careful with that axe, eugene, Astronomy Domine, Arnold Lane, See Emily play, etc. The Wall is none other than a futile attempt by the band to jump onto the "disco" bandwagon of that time...and it went bitter, because apart from Comfortably Numb, that is exactly what The Wall is.... A STERILE, MORONIC, CRAPPY, CHEESY, DISCO-DUCK ORIENTED CRAPPY ALBUM.......and DUDE, YOU are the only stuck up individual here....DUDE!!!

 

My favorite Pink FLoyd album remains Dark Side of the Moon, but I've been listening to Obscured by Clouds recently, I believe that was Syd Barrett's last Pink Floyd album! Crazy times for a crazy band!

 

The wall is a great album and in no way was an attempt at disco it was still pink Floyd but it was roger waters turn to write and sing.

 

.......which is EXACTLY why it failed in rockland ....now you wouldn't wanna say that RW was better at writing lyrics than Syd, now do ya!!!!!!!!.....THE BAND'S AND ROCK'S WORST ALBUM TO DATE...ABSOLUTELY!!!

 

The ONLY & ORIGINAL true Floyd member IS Syd!!:mickey::afro::devil::bobby:

 

No way David gilmour is what made pinkfloyd what it is, but I enjoy the wall, it's as great musically but happiest place of our lives is one of my favorite songs. You! Yes You! Stand still laddy! The bass is crazy

 

Lol the album makes it seem like waters had a rough childhood

 

My favorite album is The Wall. It came out around the same year I discovered music. It was all I heard on the radio and my dad gave me my first compact cassettes...and it was The Wall.

I had a Sony Walkman and listened to it over and over again until I fell asleep on my waterbed shaped like a racecar. I memorized every lyric. And when I went to class and was asked my favorite song, others were talking about wheels on the bus go round, I said "I don't need no education". I later found out that my kindergarten teacher also loved that song.

My Uncle had converted a small room in his house into nothing but four walls of massive speakers and a comfy chair in the middle of it. He would smile and sit me down in it and blast Floyd.

I was twelve when I watched the movie and was thrilled with every scene. It was terrifying. It was sad and sickening. It was so sad.

Later I began discovering their other works. Dark Side of the Moon was amazing. Started on it when I was seven. I worked my way all the way back to Syd Barret and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

I remembered thinking...Why was their music so much happier so far back? I asked my Uncle and he said that their music reflected how people felt at the time. So I began to think how dark the Wall was and what it said about when I had lived, versus my Uncle.

Do you know what I did then? I saved up, bought a boombox and a CD The Wall and turned the volume all the way up.

Long Live Floyd!
