The Wall

Pink Floyd rounded off a run of 4 albums that would solidify them as one of the greatest bands ever. Simply another phenomenal album. The bands first and really only double LP because the instrumental Endless River doesn’t really count.

So many songs on this one so I won’t go over them all. I’ll just highlight some of the best. Young List contains some of Gilmours best licks. His tone was impeccable on this album. One of his best. Rick Wrights tone was also so so good. Such a distinct sound to The Wall.

Hey You is awesome. The recurring line of music hidden throughout the album is so cool and it’s at its best during Hey You. David and Roger trading verses is iconic.

Nobody Home shows the versatility of the band with the help of Roger’s songwriting skills.

Comfortably Numb has the greatest guitar solo of all time. Which is even better live. Don’t need to say more.

Run Like Hell is so fun. David improved it in later live shows as well but every version of the song is great.

And finally Waiting For the Worms has always been one of my favorite songs on the album.

This is a stupendous album! One of their best for sure and for a long time it was my favorite album! Good job band!
