Yeah Seamus is sooooo great!

New album! "A Moment of Thought"

"Sing a long family album, The Wall." ;) great..

I was muttering the bridge to Run Like Hell (amuse myself) and someone seriously(oh yes) thought I was making a death threat to him. (Very surreal to me). Don't get that with the Sound Of Music though- an easy comparison to make as The Wall is such sweet tender, romantic and sentimental sing a long a music.

Actually having a sing-a-long-a-prog album has got to be a novelty in itself.

All Floyd albums are great on their individual merits. (I would not listen to The Final Cut expecting to hear More). I do appreciate that Waters and Co take the least rock oriented music from the Wall and make a rock album out of it.

So I voted for the PF album where I came in. Relics. (yes I am being ever so slightly sarky). I think it's great but it's omission (and lack of expansion) from the catalogue puzzles me.

FWIW I voted for DG by DG and Animals. And the Final Cut. I really like it but I also used to really hate it. No other album has made that journey so it's well worth a thumbs up.

The only sing along track that could be perceived as a family sing along song is another brick in the wall. This song was made popular due to MTV video and the tune however I disagree that The Wall is Disney prog, to me peeps who say that have not heard the album fully to be honest.

It's like i.e. someone saying they like Pink Floyd and their fav track is another brick in the wall

clearly not a PF listener to me.

There is no dark side in the moon, really... Matter of fact, it's all dark...

My top 5: Meddle - WYWH - DSoTM - Final Cut - OBC

Best solo albums: Broken China - Amused To Death.

'We're going to need a bigger swear jar.'

My top 5:

Animals
Wish You Were Here
Meddle
Dark Side of the Moon
Momentary Lapse in Reason

And reading this thread, I have, now playing in my head...

"And I have become...comfortably numb....kumbaya my lord...kumbaya..."

Not exactly family sing a long, but somehow that's what has popped in my head.

Wish You Were Here.
At the end it's always this ...

I love The Wall. It's far from overrated to me. It is sonic perfection.
Not many concept albums can match it for me. Sometimes I actually feel its disrespectful to say The Wall is overrated.

So much work was put into the production of that album. It's mega.
I hold 'the Wall' in very high regard. But hey, it's the 4th highest selling album of all time for a very damn good reason.
