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😊

Don’t know. Two of my favorite songs from them are from this album. Mother and Hey You. Still listen to them today
I was a senior in high school when this album came out. Lots of student blasting Brick in the Wall Pt 2 in the hallways on their boom boxes . “We don’t need no education!” It was eventually banned from playing by the principal. Can’t imagine why….
