The Wall is the eleventh studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 30 November 1979 by Harvest/EMI and Columbia/CBS Records. It is a rock opera which explores Pink, a jaded rock star, as he constructs a psychological "wall" of social isolation. The Wall topped the US charts for 15 weeks and reached number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the greatest albums of all time.

The bassist, Roger Waters, conceived The Wall during Pink Floyd's 1977 In the Flesh tour, modelling the character of Pink after himself and the former member Syd Barrett. Recording spanned from December 1978 to November 1979. The producer Bob Ezrin helped to refine the concept and bridge tensions during recording, as the band members were struggling with personal and financial problems. The keyboardist, Richard Wright, was fired by Waters during production but stayed on during the tour as a salaried musician.

The Wall was one of my first CD purchases. When I first put it into my CD player, I noticed that it was far different than my only other exposure to Pink Floyd at the time, which was A Momentary Lapse of Reason. While listening to the CD, I looked out the window and saw some debris flying around. Nothing major or dangerous. My understanding is that a very weak tornado may have been in the area at that time. So there was my first REAL experience with Pink Floyd.

With that said, I would have easily had The Wall as a top two or three album for many years. The best songs on the album are iconic and have stood the test of time very well. “Comfortably Numb” has one of the great instrumental endings to any song ever released. “Another Brick in the Wall” vaulted the band into mainstream consciousness as a number 1 hit that no other song had done for the band.

As time moved on, I backed off slightly on my appreciation for The Wall. I began to see it as the Roger Waters show and lost appreciation for some of the deeper cuts. This is why I pulled Wish You Were Here into the upper echelon of my list and dropped The Wall back a bit.

 

[MAC_32]

I will say I am a tad shocked that PF will do that much better than the Stones. I thought they would do about the same here with the Beatles “beating” both of them.

90's kid under-informed perspective - Pink Floyd's peak was much more condensed than the Stones, with this being an albums rankings I expected it to skew more towards them. I'm not surprised about Wish You Were Here and The Wall. I am surprised about Animals though. And I assume Dark Side Of The Moon is still to come. It and The Wall were on my original list, but got cut simply because I don't listen to them enough anymore.

 

[AAABatteries]

I sense Dan is going to be feeling very soon like the rest of us did when he revealed American cheese at #1.

I'm not that surprised. When I did my Stones countdown here, there were almost as many people that popped in to say they didn't like the Stones (often because of Mick's vocals) than there were people following the thread.

I can accept The Wall over Animals. I can’t accept it as the #2 Floyd album. Maybe it’s due to some album limits. Perhaps if we just did a top 10 Floyd album list things would change.

 

[krista4]

For a point of reference, when we did the middle-aged dummies UK countdown, Pink Floyd ended up seventh in points for their songs. The same number of people participated, but different make-up than the countdown here. The total points each artist accumulated looked like this:

1: The Beatles: 1320

2: The Rolling Stones: 1018

3: Led Zeppelin: 998

4: Elton John: 686

TIE 5: The Who: 648

TIE 5: David Bowie: 648

7: Pink Floyd: 644

As I think about it, though, maybe it makes some sense. I do think of Pink Floyd as more of an album band than the others. This is despite probably never hearing an entire album of theirs, other than The Wall. I just have this sense that, unlike the others, their albums often hang together more as a whole instead of being just a collection of songs.

As you said, Floyd has always been more of an albums band than songs band.

I think that's fair, as others have said, that Floyd is much more of an album band than a singles band. Also, Floyd has the advantage that their core albums are fewer in number than the Beatles and Led Zep. So the voting gets dispersed a bit more for those two.

Anyway, we're splitting hairs here when it comes to these upper tier rankings - they're all great artists at this stage.

As stated, I’m not an album guy so makes sense that I was surprised. But now that you mention it I do know people often talk about PF in regards to albums - more so than most of the others on your list.

 

[Pip's Invitation]

But the idea that there are three Floyd albums better than any album by The Rolling Stones, Miles Davis, or Bob Dylan is absurd.

I don't think the rankings indicate which albums are better (which is very subjective) than others - it all boils down to personal preference/choice.

I agree. “Better” is a concept in rankings like these that is best ignored. This ranking project is largely about collective favorites, but even that is murky. People rank however they want.

I was thinking about this last night. I’ve been listening to a lot of our top 30 albums over the last several days. Some I ranked, some I didn’t rank but know fairly well, and others I only knew the popular songs. Some don’t click with me but I still appreciate how others see them as great and I have no issue with that.

Anyway, last night I took a break from these albums and was listening to a 2023 album by Geese called 3D Country. I love it but didn’t rank it as nobody else was going to and I already had enough albums like that. I wanted to rank more of my favorite albums that others here liked too. Geese have less than a million Spotify monthly listeners. Although they have some indie credit, they will never be a universally popular band especially in the age we are in today.

As I was listening to 3D Country, I thought how foolish to me it seemed that any of these Floyd, Beatles or others albums were somehow objectively better than it. It’s just a personal preference. I believe there are thousands of albums like this. It’s all in the eye of the beholder and whatever rating criteria they choose to apply.

For full disclosure, I was high last night but I’m sober now and have the same opinion.

So wait.

I know there's a band called Goose. There's also a band called Geese?

9. The Wall – Pink Floyd (893 points)

Awesome that there are two #1s because I think that means two additions to the playlist. I have already decided on the song I wanted to add but knew my choice would not be popular and perhaps even ridiculed. Now I’m not as concerned with that.

I’m picking “The Trial”. In recent years, it is the song I look forward to the most whenever I listen to the album.

TEAR DOWN THE WALL!

Gives me chills every time.

In college we had a party, and I remember "The Trial" playing, and we had two cats sitting in the windows behind the screens. In the part where it says, "Crazy, over the rainbow, I am crazy," one of my roommates sang, "Crazy, cats in the windows, I am crazy." That night when she ate her shrooms she got gagged and threw them up, and put them back in her mouth and ate them again. She was hardcore. She called me a few months ago (I hadn't talked to her in a couple years), and she said she was on her deck drinking some wine listening to Pink Floyd, and she thought of me. I sang the cats in the windows part and we laughed. to Jolly Holli.

Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 through Harvest Records in the UK and Columbia Records in the US, their first for the label. Based on material Pink Floyd composed while performing in Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded over numerous sessions throughout 1975 at EMI Studios in London.

I didn't rank this because I already had two Floyd albums and wanted to make room for other things. I do like it very much, though, it's perfect for either zoning out or making you think. And Gilmour's playing on various of the Shine on You Crazy Diamond passages is incredible.

American at #1 is pure trolling, as is Velveeta and Cheez-Whiz (not cheese) making the list at all.

 

[simey]

I am a bit surprised that The Wall scored higher than both Animals and WYWH, but it's pretty clumped together.

I'm surprised it is in the Top 10. I didn't think it would be in the Top 20, because of all the other albums out there by various artists/bands. I put it as my #36 favorite. I have a lot of great memories attached to it. I do with another PF one that hasn't shown up yet, too, but this one I have the most.

 

[simey]

I like it better, too.

 

[Ghost Rider]

The Wall is probably my most-listened-to album ever. I can go years without hearing it and still know everything about it by heart; it is permanently ingrained in my head.

Revolver is the seventh studio album by the English rock band the Beatles. It was released on 5 August 1966, accompanied by the double A-side single "Eleanor Rigby" / "Yellow Submarine". The album was the Beatles' final recording project before their retirement as live performers and marked the group's most overt use of studio technology to date, building on the advances of their late 1965 release Rubber Soul. It has since become regarded as one of the greatest and most innovative albums in the history of popular music, with recognition centred on its range of musical styles, diverse sounds and lyrical content.

 

[Idiot Boxer]

This was the one I left off from the Beatles. It contains my favorite Beatles song (Eleanor Rigby) and one of my least favorite (Yellow Submarine)

 

[MAC_32]

As I think about it, though, maybe it makes some sense. I do think of Pink Floyd as more of an album band than the others. This is despite probably never hearing an entire album of theirs, other than The Wall. I just have this sense that, unlike the others, their albums often hang together more as a whole instead of being just a collection of songs.

I think I saw this coming because there are parallels between my generation's view of Tool as those that came before me view Pink Floyd (and Rush).

 

[Ilov80s]

It has Elanor Rigby and Tomorrow Never Knows. Those are both top like 20 all time songs so while it was hard to choose which Beatles album I wanted, these two being on Revolver was the final tie breaker.

This was the album I've been talking about @krista4 - cut due to chalk, and I knew you all would get it in around here anyway.

This was the one I left off from the Beatles. It contains my favorite Beatles song (Eleanor Rigby) and one of my least favorite (Yellow Submarine)

Big yep! Although I view Rigby on the same (elevated) tier as Tomorrow Never Knows. Love You To and Got To Get You Into My Life aren't far behind. I justified the final cut because there's too much third tier material. To be clear, third tier is still good, but there were only 70 spots in this thing.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

It contains my favorite Beatles song (Eleanor Rigby)

A good Beatles trivia question is "Which Beatles song has no member of the band playing an instrument on it?"

The only instruments on the song are a double string quartet.

Just the opposite. He said Eleanor Rigby was one of his favorites.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Revolver is one I forgot about when doing the mental scan of what was likely coming in the top 10.

Really good album, yes, but not one I ranked. I think it starts off, well, not slow, but not super strong. Eleanor Rigby is the only one of the first four tracks I find essential, and Yellow Submarine is a bit silly if not fun, but everything else is a home run. For No One, Here, There and Everywhere, Doctor Robert, Tomorrow Never Knows, She Said She Said, etc. So many great ones.

As I mentioned when Innervisions and All Things Must Pass were revealed as my #1 and #2, the only reason I didn't have a Beatles album at the top is that, unlike those two, each album has at least one song I don't like that much. On Revolver, it's "Doctor Robert" and, to a lesser extent, "Yellow Submarine." I don't hate the songs, but they just drag it down a bit for me. Each other song on this album is brilliant.

This was the one I left off from the Beatles. It contains my favorite Beatles song (Eleanor Rigby) and one of my least favorite (Yellow Submarine)

Yellow Submarine I get but strongly disliking Elanor Rigby? Dang

read again

Yep definitely misread that lol

I do not strongly dislike Eleanor Rigby. It is my favorite Beatles song.

Just ignore me lol

My vote is for “And Your Bird Can Sing”

"Yellow Submarine."

I like the song (its fun), but it should have only been included on the Yellow Submarine album. Revolver is too great of an album for the silly kids songs.

I sense Dan is going to be feeling very soon like the rest of us did when he revealed American cheese at #1.

Link?

Thread '***Official - Dan Lambskins Top 50 Cheeses***'

Jul 17, 2024

In this thread we will rank and discuss Dan Lambskins favorite cheeses

Ranking criteria is arbitrary, some main factors will be taste and versatility, but there any many other variables

These may not match with your favorite cheeses. That’s ok. People have different opinions

The list will largely contain base variant cheeses, don’t expect to see blueberry walnut versions of your favorite cheese

Finally, there was no proper vetting of this list, mistakes are likely

Now sit back and enjoy

Updated with final rankings

American at #1 is pure trolling, as is Velveeta and Cheez-Whiz (not cheese) making the list at all.

Just be thankful he left off cheese doodles.

Great album. Almost no wrong choices on the song for the playlist.

With likely 3 albums in the top 10 and 4 in the top 20, Pink Floyd is a little overrated here.

How do you define overrated in this context? People rate them as they like them. The Beatles will have 3 albums in the top 13.

I love Pink Floyd, and had 2 of their albums on my list, but a Top 10 list that has 3 Pink Floyd albums on it is by definition over-rating them. It just happens that we have a lot of Pink Floyd fans in this small sample size of paticipants.

That's fine though - this is merely a consensus of those that participated.

IMO the top 4 albums for Pink Floyd are actually all exceptional albums. Meaning not just the individual songs but the album concept and flow.

I mentioned this in my comment on Animals, that I rarely listen to albums nowadays, but I play Animals through as an album when I listen. I do the same with these other 3. Perhaps that contributed to the rankings.

ETA: I see this was already thoroughly covered by others.

"Yellow Submarine."

I like the song (its fun), but it should have only been included on the Yellow Submarine album. Revolver is too great of an album for the silly kids songs.

Good take here. You're right it is a fun silly song but totally out of place on Revolver. I also agree with Krista that Dr. Robert isn't too good. Swapping them out for Paperback Writer and Rain would be have been ideal.

Good pull. I believe the 1960s series The Prisoner also used a Beatles tune on their last episode.

Wish You Were Here is the ninth studio album by the English rock band Pink Floyd, released on 12 September 1975 through Harvest Records in the UK and Columbia Records in the US, their first for the label. Based on material Pink Floyd composed while performing in Europe, Wish You Were Here was recorded over numerous sessions throughout 1975 at EMI Studios in London.

Love, love, love this album. Incredible flow. No weak points. Accessible yet incredibly complex and deep. The perfect album.

For the playlist, I’ll go with the song I chose as my #1 song in the consensus PF rankings - Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts 1-5). This sets the stage for all the magic to come. I was hoping there would be a second #1 drafter so we could collude to get parts 6-9 on the playlist too.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Pts. 1-5)
