Episode 35 - Pink Floyd ”The Wall”

Episode 35 covers the eleventh Pink Floyd studio album, 1979’s “The Wall.” It is a rock opera that explores Pink, a jaded Rockstar whose eventual self-imposed isolation from society forms a figurative wall. The album was a commercial success, topping the US charts for 15 weeks, and reaching number three in the UK. It initially received mixed reviews from critics, many of whom found it overblown and pretentious, but later received accolades as one of the finest albums of all time. Mark, Kevin, Alex, and Chris take you on a historical journey surrounding the album as well as share our favorites and not-so favorites from the record. We go on a deep dive track-by-track listen of this progressive rock masterpiece as well as share personal stories of discovering Pink Floyd’s “The Wall.” Tune in next week for Episode 36 covering the twelfth Pink Floyd studio album “The Final Cut."Available at https://lightthesky.net/podcasts/pink-floyd/the-wall/ and on all podcast streaming platforms (just search "Light the Sky Podcast.")Follow "Light the Sky Podcast" on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook to stay up-to-date with all things LTS.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lighttheskypodcast/Twitter: https://twitter.com/LighttheSkyPod1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LightTheSkyPodcast/
