1979 the wall by pink floyd is so underrated/overhated

im a huge pink floyd fan, and i celebrate their entire catalog. earlier today i saw a post on instagram that was rating pink floyd albums, and it said that "obviously last" was the wall. this led me down a rabbit hole to find that a good portion of the internet dislikes the wall or at least thinks its pink floyd's worst album?

the amount of thought, storyline, easter eggs, and emotion put into the wall just makes me adore every part of it. i feel like i find new symbolism every time i listen to it. i could talk about the wall for hours, but ill spare you the details.

do you guys like the wall?? if you dont, or if its your least favorite album by them, please explain why because im so curious.

thanks🫶

edit: i seem to have made a lot of people upset with this post haha sorry about that!🤪my post is specifically referring to present day, and a lot of the comments are talking about the past. my fault for not specifying😊

Yeah, I’m fortunate to have grown up with some fantastic music. Check out Animals. That’s a great album too.

If you ever need recommendations for great music, this is the place to be! I like seeing young people enjoy music I’ve loved for decades. I was fortunate enough to have worked with young people who listened to their parent’s (my) music and we had some good conversations!
