Both rather overrated IMHO. Not the best work from either band - but highlights within the rest of the filler material are worthy of a listen.. Can't think of the last time I sat through a complete listening of either, though.

The Wall - a band on the way down

Tommy=Tour de Force
The Wall=Fragmented and not particularly interesting.

I don't listen much to any of these - both bands have far better offerings to my taste

The Wall for me...Tommy has some cool moments but is often too repetitive...

Regardless of concept, Tommy's by far a more direct appeal for any music lover, no contest here.
The overwhelming amount of information on a daily basis restrains people from rewinding the news record archives to refresh their memories...

Take your pick between these two concept albums.

For me it's Tommy, hands down.
