The Wall is one of my personal musical betes noires. One good and highly memorable guitar solo aside I have never been able to understand the hoopla surrounding that one.

It helps to be an angsty 15 year old.

The Wall is great teenage bumout music.

Boring for adults though!

Yes it must be an age thing. When it came out in '79 my idea of angst was probably more Television, The Pop Group, "Broken English" and er .... "Coney Island Baby".

I worked in a record shop circa 1981 and my younger colleagues were Essex stoners obsessed with "The Wall", "Sheik Yerbouti", Ronnie Laws and The Crusaders and hated anything to do with core Prog or Punk. They played those bloody records every chance they got. Music snobs but of a really strange kind. "Rat Tomago", the big solo on "Comfortably Numb" and "Tiny Lites" aside I found the whole thing completely mystifying. Still do.
