Pink Floyd - Another Brick In The Wall
"The Wall" was one of the single biggest albums of the 70's and proved to be a commercial landslide for Pink Floyd. The two album concept piece is Roger Waters masterpiece about a musician named "Pink" and the wall he builds around himself.
The album is primarily autobiographical and served as the final link in the Waters takeover of the band. It is also the last album with the Waters, Gilmour, Mason, and Wright lineup (Keyboard player Richard Wright would be fired shortly after the albums completion).
The album was an unlikely smash hit with the band getting airplay on top 40 radio stations for the first time in their long career. "Another Brick In The Wall", "Comfortably Numb", "Hey You", and "Run Like Hell" are still staples of classic rock stations to this day. The album was also made into a movie in the mid - 80's.
As overplayed as this album was and as much as I have listened to it over the years, I still enjoy it and think it is a great piece of work. David Gilmour's guitar solo on "Comfortably Numb" can still send chills up my spine and is one of the great melodic solos of all time in my opinion. "The Wall" is one of the classic progressive rock albums of all time.
