Surprising, After All This Time...
...how much of an emotional wallop Pink Floyd's music still packs...I still remember, twenty-two years ago, at the age of 15, bringing home The Wall, putting on my headphones, and listening to the whole thing in one sitting...then sitting in stunned silence for a full five minutes...then rewinding and listening to the whole thing again. It remains one of the most literate of rock concept albums, a classic tale of alienation, and along with Dark Side of the Moon and the Final Cut, it certainly makes the case for Pink Floyd as one of the Top Ten rock bands ever. Good to see Roger Waters and David Gilmore sharing the stage again...
