I do say, all Pop Music Sucks, Pink Floyd is FAR better, and for those of you who Hate Rock, I hope you get torn apart by Horses, now, I will tell you the story of "The Wall." along with some Facts. --- The Wall is a rock opera that explores abandonment and isolation, symbolised by a metaphorical wall. The songs create an approximate storyline of events in the life of the protagonist, Pink, a character based on Waters,[19] whose father was killed during the Second World War. Pink is oppressed by his overprotective mother, and tormented at school by tyrannical, abusive teachers. Each of these traumas become metaphorical "bricks in the wall". The protagonist eventually becomes a rock star, his relationships marred by infidelity, drug use, and outbursts of violence. As his marriage crumbles, he finishes building his wall, completing his isolation from human contact. Hidden behind his wall, Pink's crisis escalates, culminating in a hallucinatory on-stage performance where he believes that he is a fascist dictator performing at concerts similar to Neo-National Socialist rallies, at which he sets men on fans he considers unworthy. Tormented with guilt, he places himself on trial, his inner judge ordering him to "tear down the wall", opening Pink to the outside world. The album turns full circle with its closing words "Isn't this where...", the first words of the phrase that begins the album, "...we came in?", with a continuation of the melody of the last song hinting at the cyclical nature of Waters' theme. The album includes several references to former band member Syd Barrett, including "Nobody Home", which hints at his condition during Pink Floyd's abortive US tour of 1967, with lyrics such as "wild, staring eyes", "Hendrix perm" and "Gohills Boots". "Comfortably Numb" was inspired by Waters's injection with a muscle relaxant to combat the effects of hepatitis during the In the Flesh Tour, while in Philadelphia. |

| So you are attacking a harmless genre that never did anything wrong to you. All you did was annoy both sides. |

Classic is Mozart and Beethoven, for example.

| Link. Wikipedia is trash. Go die if you've been researching stuff on wikipedia. Pop is trash. The Beatles were pop, IN THEIR TIME. The Beatles are rock, they're sound is not even close to modern pop. |

| I never said there was a thick wall. I simply was stating the facts. Stop calling them pop. It's annoying, you want to go check wikipedia about that then? |

@Link: In the other thread that's an exact copy of this one, I explained why Michael Jackson is a good performer, and not pop. The Beatles are bad, though.
@OP: Hi, Randy. |

So around 15 million people should die?
Actually, In their time, Rock would be defined as the Rolling Stones, The WHo, CCR, etc etc etc. |

| The Who, Rolling Stones, and Etc, were cooler than Michael Jackson, or possibly any other modern Musician I can think of, minus Green Day and a few others...To be honest, now, you don't even need talent, you just need a Machine, I miss the Days when you NEEDED something called TALENT. |
