I heard Pink Floyds The Wall today

I am 29...finally got the album loaded into my iPod, sat at my desk at work and heard the whole thing...from start to finish.
Incredible album, I read a bit on it the other day, the back story..how Watters went crazy, locked himself in a cabin and wrote it....

Pretty kick ass.....
 
While it is a great album, it is my least favorite by Pink Floyd... but I am an old weed smoking burnout who listened to their stuff when it first came out.

Welcome to 1980 😉 Now find the album Operation: Mindcrime from Queensryche. It came out in '89, so you probably haven't heard it either 😀 It's more heavy metal, but it also is a concept album. The entire album is a story. I won't spoil it. Pretty good.

Edited to sing:
I am just a new boy,
Stranger in this town.
Where are all the good times?
Who?s gonna show this stranger around?

Ooooo I need a dirty woman.
Ooooo I need a dirty girl.

Will some woman in this desert land,
Make me feel like a real man?
Take this rock and roll refugee.
Ooo babe, set me free.

Ooooo I need a dirty woman.
Ooooo I need a dirty girl.
Ooooo I need a dirty woman.
Ooooo I need a dirty girl.

My favorite album ever.

I even bought the Operation LiveCrime DVD. Definitley worth it.

She always brings me what I need
Without I beg and sweat and bleed
When we?re alone at night
Waiting for the call
She feeds my skin

Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in times square
Working live s&m shows
Twenty-five bucks [a fvck]
And john?s a happy man
She wipes the filth away
And it?s back on the streets again

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see

Father william saved her from the streets
She drank the lifeblood from the saviour?s feet
She?s sister mary now, eyes as cold as ice
He takes her once a week
On the alter like a sacrifice

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see

Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling god
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in south america

[saudi arabia, on tour]

Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules america

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease
 
Operation MIndcrime was one of those cd's that I couldn't find one day, so I ran out and bought another (it was some remastered version with extra songs)

The next day I found my original cd :cookie:



Oh Yeah: The Wall is awesome.


I.....feeeeeel...cold as a razorblade, tight as a tornikate(sic), dry as a funeral drum...........

Where did you read that?

Waters wrote about madness because Syd Barrett, the band's original singer, went mad.

Almost all of his writing is Waters blaming Syd's mental illness on environmental and social factors, when it really shows his ignorance. Syd's illness (and most mental illness) is physical in nature.
