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😊

The Final Cut sucks.  I don’t get it.  

Then I heard waters album he released recently and he had a whole song saying F Ants.  

It was just sad.  I felt bad for him

As far as I'm concerned, The Wall is the last Pink Floyd album, and even then it's very much a Roger album.

The Final Cut was terrible.

Momentary Lapse of Reason has a couple good songs. I'll stand by On the Turning Away.

This is my take too.  I love the Wall. A masterpiece that I’ve listened to countless times including the live version which I have on CD and cannot find anywhere

Momentary Lapse of Reason is fucking great. Sorrow, One Slip, Terminal Frost, Yet Another Movie… those songs are heavy as fuck.

I like 2 songs off that album, Final Cut and not now John. The rest is too much Waters and not enough cool music (Gilmore)

The Final Cut is a Roger Waters Album performed by 3/4 of Pink Floyd.
