Listening mindlessly while researching on the 'net when this came on.  Full stop. Go bring up RP and listen, read, listen.  Creatively superb. What PF created demands one's full attention. I may not always agree with the attitude, but they make one listen enough to get their point.   {#Think}

As much of a life-long freakin' Floyd fan* I am, however, I just never cared for this album. For me, those years where Waters commandeered the group (including Animals) are a loss.

I can't agree with you at all... ESPECIALLY Animals.... Can't imagine Floyd without them

This song is the core of the Wall's story.  This album offers the listener the chance to experience a chapter in the life of a mentally disturbed person, who also happens to be touring as a professional musician, and then finally has a break through just as he's having a total nervous breakdown — that concept is interesting in and of itself.  You can see the music as incidental to the story, or the story as incidental to the music, but either way, the result is a timeless work of art.

Just saw Roger Waters perform The Wall live a few weeks ago.  Outstanding show.  After the line "Mother should I trust the government?", the words "no fucking way" appeared on the wall.  It drew wild applause from the audience and stood out as a highlight of the show.  It was an incredible experience to be sitting just 20 rows from the man who wrote this awesome, moving, timeless masterpiece.  I'll never forget it.

Saw Roger Waters perform this at the O2 arena last year and it still made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.  What a song, what a band, doesn't get much better.

Sick of this song actually - come on, get over it, stop whinging about your Mother and realise she's not some evilly-intentioned creature but an exact product of the Wall as well and a person certainly with her own frustrations abut the constraints abounding  {#Wall}

I saw this concert in '79, maybe '80(not sure) at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island.
It was the most brilliant performance of any kind I've ever seen. I felt like I was tripping.
I kept getting goosebumps. I was mesmerized.
Simply incredible.
And the animations?  The cherry on the cake.

This is a fantastic classic from an album that is in the top ten of all time—  the only better albums are by the Beatles...

Maybe one of the most amazing sets of seamless transitions I've ever heard. Or maybe I was slightly soused. 4 hours later I still want to go back and try to replicate it to see if it still works like I imagined it did..


 
Well, I just heard it while sober (under 0.8 anyway * ) and yes, it was that good.
*Not a condition which will last - I just passed 50 years working and they haven't found me out  yet.

This works in the context of the double album, but is weak on its own, IMO. And blaming your mother for all your ills is just so old....
 
Funny... I thought he blamed the loss of his father in the war, the stultifying post-war English education system, the pitfalls of fame and fortune, marital infidelity, AND his mother for all of his ills.  This song being just a piece of a greater whole.

Guess I listened to the wrong album.

LOVE this song. Probably my favorite PF song.

Saw Roger Waters perform The Wall live last winter and it was fantastic.
