THE WALL

When in 1978 Roger Waters presented the other musicians with 2 concepts for them to decide which theme they want to develop for the group's next work, one became The Pros And Cons Of Hitch Hiking, which ended up being a personal work by the bassist and singer with a modest success, and the other was the conceptual double album The Wall.

Once again the issue of war is present, Waters bitterly remembers that from a very young age he was left fatherless during the Second World War, together with an overprotective mother who wants to defend her son from external dangers, criticism of the educational system that most that allowing the growth and fulfillment of people turn them into simple bricks, and as well as a repeated tirade against the music business and its monetary interest above all else, are the central themes. Waters' increasingly profound criticism and obscure reflections on the different aspects of society, politics and human relations, and that he used music as a vehicle to be expressed, generated intense conflicts with the direction that David Gilmour and the rest The band wanted to give the group, more likely to give more relevance to the musicality and that the lyrics are more a companion instead of a manifestation of principles.

All in all, The Wall is another of the superlative works of Pink Floyd, in which in addition to having its biggest commercial success with the well-known Another Brick In The Wall Part 2, we find classics from his discography, such as Mother, Goodbye Blue Sky, Hey You, Run Like Hell and the extraordinary Comfortably Numb, one of the best songs of the group, and which has one of the best solos in the history of rock of all time on Gilmour's guitar, a must in practically every concert of Pink Floyd from that moment.

The last masterpiece.
