It is just amazing how they were able to successfully put it all together!!

I love this album and film!!!

Is a cool film. Stoned at the midnight movies. Hell yes. Great memories.

I think THE WALL is thier best album (They kicked from the beggining thru the wall)

Their best album is A Saucerful of Chocolate Milk

I have a bootleg of The Wall demo's that I found on some blogspot a couple of years ago.
Hearing the album in raw, demo form was much more interesting to me than listening to the official studio release (which I've long grown tired of.)

............... yes, it is.

It doesn't really matter but the album is actually called A Saucer Full of Secrets. It's their second record.

You poor, ignorant fool.

it's actually called A Saucerful of Secrets and it does matter

I'm just going to have to carry on like nothing happened.

Batty would tell you it's a saucerful of something else....

Yes I was playing along........

Back to topic and...
The Wall almost never happened.

Way back in '79 when the original album was handed over as a rough draft by Roger Waters to the other members of the band, he also submitted demos of what would become The Pros & Cons of Hitch Hiking at the same time. They were asked to choose their favourite from both as a successor to 1977's Animals album. They went with The Wall.

This work of genius spawned a (massive but fluke) No.1 hit single in the shape of Another Brick...Part 2 and future classics such as Run Like Hell and the timeless Comfortably Numb. After successful and very innovative live shows, Alan Parker's soundtrack movie was a decidedly decent event - mostly driven along by Gerald Scarfe's wonderful artwork set to animation. Even Bob Geldof seemed to pull off the film's central character rather well. The rest is history.

Oh, and by the way, 'Pros & Cons' was eventually released as Waters' debut solo album in '84, Gilmour's proposed guitar parts played adequately by one Eric Clapton.
