I’m old, too, and going back and filling in gaps in my music knowledge base, and listening to a lot of stuff I’ve been meaning to for decades.
However, I have also realized that my favorites have solidified, after decades of listening and deciding. Pink Floyd, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Who, Yes, Led Zep, and a few others have fought their way to the front of the pack.
The Wall is not only my favorite Pink Floyd album, it’s my favorite album of all time.
I was a music history major when it came out, and I studied it like it was a Beethoven symphony. I became convinced that it was a 20th century music masterpiece along the lines of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, Bartok’s Concerto for Orchestra, Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue or Porgy & Bess, Bernstein’s West Side Story, Rogers & Hammerstein’s South Pacific or Sound of Music, The Beatles Sgt Pepper or Abby Road, etc.
Almost 50 years later, and my opinion still stands.
BTW, Paradoxically, DSOTM is probably the greatest album of all time, from an artistic and influential point of view. I just think The Wall is a masterpiece.
Some did, but they won by cheating, and we ALL know it.
I’d rather a dead useless martyr, than an active live Nazi.
Invite them all for dinner, and take care of the entire problem at once.
Exactly what I thought. Nobody has made it more possible than the people in this room.
That reminds me, I need to sharpen my guillotine.
Pay the lady!
The fact that these liars weren’t struck by lightning while posing for this photo, is proof positive that the God they claim to worship doesn’t exist.
Valid point. I added the word [just] to my post to clarify.
The Constitution doesn’t [just] give us freedom OF religion, it guarantees freedom FROM religion. People can have any religion they want, the government just can’t allow it to influence government in any way.
Ever see one of those photos with HitlerPig in the middle, with a group of people all with one hand on his shoulder, all with their eyes closed, praying? And there in the middle front, is HitlerPig, who we all know is an absolute Sociopath, and doesn’t believe any of that crap.
Weak-minded fools.
And ALL those problems continue because there are wealthy entities willing to donate ANY amount of money to influence as many campaigns as possible. Right now, they see their re-elections as dependent on getting as much money as possible, so all their efforts are directed at the most wealthy.
But take money out of politics, and suddenly the ONLY election currency is every citizen’s single vote. Instead of appeasing a few very wealthy donors with important legislation that benefits only them at the expense of everyone else, they will be forced to support wide-reaching legislation that helps millions of citizens, in hopes of attracting their votes. Take money out of campaigns, and a wealthy person has equal political power as any other citizen - one vote. This is what the Founding Fathers were really talking about when they declared that all men were created equal.
Society has sunk to a level where living in your vehicle is acceptable as a valid housing option.
It’s a core characteristic they’ve learned from HitlerPig, who learned it from his mentor Roy Cohn, who always said that you never admit that you were wrong or were defeated. Always declare victory, and NEVER, EVER apologize.
HitlerPig lives by that, and his followers have adopted it as well.
“Ah, yes, everything is working according to my plan.”
The key is Campaign Finance Reform, which is the issue from which ALL other issues arise.
We need to get money out of politics.
I found Animals to be the most difficult to get into, but once it clicked, it became one of my favorites. It’s a great album, but The Wall still beats it, in my opinion.
