THE WALL

Progressive rock, as far as I know, is based on unlimited use of exotic and unusual instrumentations, complex arrangements, etc. So how can one say that "The Wall" is a landmark of the genre? I think most prog fans get it all wrong when it comes to Pink Floyd. But don't get me wrong, this is an exceptional band, but it seems to me that their historical value surpasses their music it's self in occasions such as The Wall, even though is not a bad album at all. It has great moments such as Thin Ice, In the Flesh?, Goodbye Blue Sky, Mother, Hey You, Comfortably Numb, etc, Disc Two being a total bore aside. Have been said, all those worth mention tunes are pretty good, but progressively, doesn't qualify. At least I don't think.
