That's inconsistent of you - you did give "Fearless" a 9 after all. Did you no know it was Pink Floyd when you were enjoying it at the time?

I hear pathetic and pretty simple folks fighting to get a very mediocre tune assembled!

Incredible. Only problem is, it's made me want to listen to more Pink Floyd! Sorry RP, a victim of your own success here! :)

Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then the one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun, but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in the relative way, but you're older
And shorter of breath and one day closer to death
Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to naught or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desparation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over, thought I'd something more to say

Agreed. "The Wall" quickly became another brick in the FM radio wall.

Yeah, but they sure put on one hell of a good show. 

In fact, I don't know of any other band that has a higher bar for a live show.

But then again, I like PF ...

This is a great song from a brilliant album. It's amazing how well Pink Floyd's work from the late 70's has aged. They were way ahead of their time and the engineering and production still are considered a benchmark (especially Dark Side of the Moon).

David Gilmour from Pink Floyd by ~Araen

So, finally, a Dave Gilmour. I didn't draw him so far. It would have been appropriate long ago that I give him place here.

Ahhh, and the scanner killed this picture. There is a lot more detail on it.

Update:
Finally I'm able to change this with a digital photo... whew. Dark a bit, but more detailed

If not for personal context (and the way music morphs to fit all of ours) there might be little market for music - and certainly a lot less comments. Sincerely sorry about your wall, hope it comes down.

Same for me, don't like this album at all. But this song, just reminds me of good times arguing (for hours!) with friends who all loved this album. So, at the end, this was the song they would play as it was time for me to part. Didn't fall though...

I'm a Floyd fan.
I love this track.
I love this album.

It may not be the best record the band came out with.
But I think it is arguably the best produced album of all time.
It has so many layers and textures that flow seamlessly from one song to the next.
It's a masterwork!

Overstated perhaps, but I would offer that they are one of the most overplayed and over-rated bands. To each their own.
