you should probably remove "Great" from the title with all the dumb shit you're posting

Maybe it's like when Swedes started naming people Magnus cause they thought it was a first name.

The ultimate music video:

Pink Floyd - The Wall.

Such a tired story - god I want to bitch slap Roger Waters - but what a great album.

What's funny is their next album (and last, as the four of them) The Final Cut was basically the same whiny bullshit that was almost entirely Roger.

The best songs on The Wall were written by David Gilmour.

Yeah, Roger Waters got what he had coming to him though. I remember him discussing that when Pink Floyd got back together as Gilmour, Wright, and Mason, they made their first album apart from him, A Momentary Lapse of Reason. He was doing a concert for one of his albums, and next door he could hear Pink Floyd playing, and he realized that he had fucked up, lol.

The Final Cut was, if I remember correctly from Mason's band biography (as the only member to have always been in the band), the songs that the band had rejected from The Wall. With Roger believing he was all hot shit, he decided to force them to make them into a follow up album, which lead to Wright leaving the band/being fired, depending on how and when the story is told. Gilmour pointed out that all these songs were rejected for being bad, but Roger didn't care, and that's when Mason and Gilmour decided to just finish the album, and be done.

I like to think that Roger did get humbled in time, and realized that he was far too greedy and self-centered, and that's why he has tried to make amends since they played together at Live8 back in '05.

Still, all things considered, they had 3 back to back absolutely fantastic albums: Dark Side of the Moon - Wish You Were Here - Animals, and few bands ever achieve that. Their later works were also good, but you could tell they were missing Roger's side, and their earlier works were good, but you could tell they had not yet found the style that would define those central works (Still great pieces like Echoes though).

Yeah, Roger needed a punch in the face at the time.

It was heavily autobiographical for Roger. The main inspiration was during the tour for Animals, Roger spit in the face of one of his fans because they were dancing and shouting and having a good time, and Roger was certain that they were not actually listening to and appreciating the music. So he spit at them, and after that, got very retrospective. He started to think he isolated himself from his audience, which inspired him to write The Wall, where the fans wouldn't see them doing their music, and could do nothing but listen to it.

So he took his life, the death of his father in World War 2, and splashed it in with Syd's drug OD, and created the character Pink. Pink is ultimately a very self-loathing, self-destructive individual due to the mental wall he builds around himself through the film, starting with the death of his father (from Roger), his difficulty in school (also Roger, note that the poem the school teacher rips on him for in the film are the lyrics to Money from Dark Side of the Moon), and eventually even the drugs (Syd) and his wife's cheating (no attribution as far as I know). The problem is, Pink is also shown to perceive himself as a Hitler-esque figure, perhaps in thinking that he is the reason there have been so many issues in his life and so it is he that is killing off all that is good about himself, domineering over an army of fans that are blindly following him. It is rather telling about Roger as a person who, at the time, was become increasingly dictatorial about the direction of Pink Floyd which eventually lead to the splitting up of the band for a short time before Gilmour got the band back together for a solid and a fan-fucking-tastic album.

Yeah. It is a neat film, and very neat album, but it is clearly very angsty.
