As it is, it's not the masterpiece Waters claims it is, but it's nothing to sneeze at either.


I agree but thats more than half of the album bro Tongue

It's the most overrated floyd album imo but its still a billion time better than The Final Crap.

The Wall, but only because I haven't heard The Final Cut. Tongue

BTW, Gilmour's description of The Wall seems quite apt. If it hadn't contained some good songs like "In The Flesh?" "The Thin Ice", "The Happiest Days of Our Lives/Another Brick In The Wall Pt. 2", "Mother", "Empty Spaces/Young Lust", "Hey You", "Nobody Home", "Comfortably Numb",  and "Run Like Hell", I'd probably would've dismissed it as a poor album.

TFC is a solid 5 star album to me, The Wall a 3,5 star album.

I'll just quote the only true genius of Pink Floyd, namely David Gilmour: "It appears now to be a catalogue of people Roger blames for his own failings in life, a list of "you f***ed me up this way, you f***ed me up that way""

Motly Autumn died after Angela Goldthorpe left (2 albums ago), however I think you should pay more attention to the Wall's concept and lyrics. Not just self-pity.

That band doesn't exist anymore... it's become an eufemism for "Josh & co. Limited" And yes, "The Wall" is nothing more than crappy self-pity.

^ I find MLoR having some really good songs, but in that stile, I much prefer The Division Bell.

Actually, I like these equally as I do most Floyd albums.
 
I love pretty much anything Floyd except for MLoR.

There are some really good songs on The Final Cut, but The Wall is a better album as a whole, and it's got Comfortably Numb (and some other really good songs too).

Dog...maybe if you add some salt and pepper on The Final Cut it will appeal to your pallette better?

maybe we can add it some candy and a currant bun too

Do you think something like Arnold Layne? Why did you leave your nickname in fact?

I have no idea what are you talking about sir, have we met before? LOL

I cannot tolerate The Wall.  Gotta be The Final Cut.

I can't believe that somebody considers the wall "crap". I don't see the relation with Mostly Autumn, but if both The Wall and things like "The gap is too wide" are crap it means at least that you don't like electric guitars and Gilmour's style. So why voting in a poll about Pink Floyd?
I very much enjoy electric guitars and don't like The Wall, for the most part. LOVE the movie, though.

Let's see...a sprawling, highly influential, almost flawlessly executed concept album, or an album comprised of tracks left off the sprawling, highly influential, almost flawlessly executed concept album?

The Wall.  Although I think both are just rank with Waters' bloated ego.
