Substitute teacher (when I was about 6 or 7) wrote ‘Pink Floyd 1979’ on the blackboard at the start of class. Then he explained who Pink Floyd were and what the Wall was. Then proceeded to teach us this song. After a couple of days rehearsal, he brought the class into the yard to sing it as loud as we could, disrupting all the other classes going on in the school. We all felt so rebellious!

I was at school when it was played as the music after the bell calling the kids to class - until it was banned I didn’t realise the irony at the time, but being called to class by “we don’t need no education” was magic while it lasted

This entire album, and the associated film, had what was probably an oversized impact on my life. Two anecdotes come to the mind. The first was my friends laughing at me for crying by the end of of the film. I just... related to it, and it was a vicarious cathartic release. The second was that it helped me keep my sanity during the basic training. Listened to it every single night once we were allowed personal possessions. It was my own private rebellion in a high pressure system designed to subsume individuality.

Warren, your reaction is similar to mine in the US. I was 15, bought The Wall with my newspaper money in December 1979. For you youngsters out there, you have no idea just how big Brick Pt. 2 was. In the midst of 1979 albums (Highway to Hell, A Night in the Ruts, Desolation Angels, Dream Police, London Calling, Tusk, Unleashed in the East, Van Halen II and In Through the Out Door), The Wall was everywhere. It was blaring at parties, car stereos, radios, boomboxes and even the first Sony Walkmans, if you could afford one. Today, I proudly display my The Wall album on my music room Wall. For other "Songs that Changed Music", please consider Jeremy, Fast Car and Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone.

Warren - it was this album that put the guitar into my hands and pulled me from the darkest period in my life: the loss of my 14 yr old sister, when I was 16. I mean, it was 1992 and this album had already been out for several years but inexplicably off my radar until after her death. At the time, I had no idea that the record was 'autobiographical' for any one of the members of the band and, at the time, I don't think I even knew any of their names. All I knew is that the song "Is There Anybody Out There?" would 'speak to me' (no pun) in a way that music really hadn't previously. When I got my hands on an acoustic guitar, I tried (not very successfully) to emulate that tune and through that effort - it managed to shelve the turmoil I was dealing with temporarily. I really am truly and personally grateful for this record. Thank you so much for making this video. How cool it must have been to meet THE Bob Ezrin. Cheers! -p

Hi Paul, it made get made! It just may never be heard by such a huge audience! Ultimately the songs 'Another Brick In The Wall Pt2' and 'Comfortably Numb' are bastions of incredible songwriting and production, I would welcome such incredible songwriting now!

Thanks for your enthusiasm here Warren, as I share it. I was 7 or 8 [83-84] when I heard this on the radio and got my 18 year old brother to get me a cassette tape. I probably listened to that tape 500+ times until I bought a different cassette and a cd. For the first time I wasnt just hearing music through my speakers but experiencing the songwriters emotion.. it was so powerful it made me obsessed with music, and creating music and I've been chasing that feeling my whole life.. the alienation experienced is something that was so relatable to me then (and still is). Single coil guitars with 8th note triplet delays, and how the snare sounds on the wall is still the sweet spot to me.

I was also a kid. I also saw them do the wall in Earls court. I ran 3 miles home to get money and then 3 miles back to the record shop that was arranging a coach trip and gig package. I too get goose bumps about the gig. Especially Gilmour on top of the wall playing comfortably numb with a huge shadow stretching across the arena. I'm not the biggest Floyd fan these days but that was a seminal moment in my musical life.

I remember as a kid being in the PX(Post Exchange), I lived on an Army Base., being in the record section and seeing all the "new releases" shelves. I remember seeing The Wall, Back in Black, Glass Houses, Double Fantasy, Hi Infidelity, The Game, and Crimes of Passion. I remember trying to save my paper route money so I could by an album a month. I always tried to save up enough to buy the Wall but because it was a double album it was more expensive. This was one of the first albums that turned me into a Prog Rock fan. Thanks so much

I remember going to day camp in the summer of 1980; the summer I turned 11. Every single day that whole summer, all of us on the camp bus would sing together at the top of our collective lungs, "We don't need no education…!" It was our anthem that entire summer. A few years later, when I was in high school, I had a very obnoxious and opinionated teacher who I wasn't too fond of and who often would go on rants about how much he hated the song. That made me love the song even more and inspired me to finally go out and buy the album as a big F-U to him. (I probably would have bought it anyway, as I had become a big Floyd fan by then.)

We in the GDR had nothing. But we had great music. However, that didn't matter to my parents. We listened to the radio from the FRG. And me? I was like Freddy Mercury singing years later in "Radio Ga-Ga": "I'd sit alone and watch your light / My only friend through teenage nights / And everything I had to know / I heard it on my radio" But there was this one song that I once heard secretly in the dark. It was already late, only the lighted scale on the radio was on. After that I had restless nights for ages. I had no idea what the song was called. But it was dark, dangerous, evil. My goodness! "Another Brick In The Wall, pt. 2" has such a special magic for me to this day. I know of few songs that had such a strong impact on me. I think I was almost most shocked by the deep, rumbling bass in the background. I was even more shocked at the age of 6 or 7 by the fact that there were children singing such an evil melody. At an age when you know children's songs, such an experience is formative. I think it's fair to say that I was afraid of the song for a while. And it touches me enormously deeply to this day. At that time, of course, I had no idea what the song was about. That has changed. What remains is this very special magic of one of the greatest rock songs of all time.

Yes, Queen, Bowie, Alice Cooper and Lou Reed soon followed. I saw the Wall concert at the time and it was a mind blower. The album was so successful for so long that I burned out and pivoted to punk and it's offshoots. It's been fun to reconnect.

Also for me The Wall had a huge impact on me. So many themes were relatable and helped me realise what was going on in my youthful mind and life. It was the first album that had me scrutinise the lyrics and made me aware that they could be as important as the music. Deciphering the bad handwriting on the sleeves was quite difficult and as a kind of zen exercise I meticulously copied the lyrics by typing them out and restart every time I made a mistake (on a mechanical typewriter, no word processors in those days). I went to see the original Wall tour in Dortmund, Germany. When the movie came out I went to see it three times in a week. There was so much going on in it that I could not grasp all of it in one time. This video brought back a lot of memories after all those years and thank you for that.

I was 15 when this came out and me and my father couldn’t talk about anything without fighting except Pink Floyd. When I got the album we poured over every detail and I worked on my keyboard to learn the licks. It’s ironic Roger Waters brought me and my father together with an album about a missing father. I saw the show with him at Madison Square Garden it’s one of the greatest memories of my youth !!!!!!!!!

Another great analysis, Warren. The relentless disco stomp underpinned by the so effective menace of the bass creates the feeling of a seemingly unstoppable force. Then the children's voices coupled with the soaring guitar solo is the perfect counter argument. A song of hope and the gold standard for musicians and producers.

Before I ever heard the actual song, I remember my mum singing it as a kid (my parents tastes were surprising at times...), so this song always makes me think of her. :) Other than that, this is another great video and one that's been sitting in my 'Watch Later' list for a couple of weeks now, so I'm glad I finally got round to watching it! Aside from that, I've to say that one of my favourite things about your videos (aside from the considered continuity between the song choices) is when you "freestyle" at the end and give your personal thoughts on the song itself. Seeing you enthuse so passionately about the songs in question rounds the video off nicely!

Quite an experience to have actually lived through 6 decades of music, seeing it go from eternally memorable to, now, instantly forgettable...nothing to do with taste differences, everything to do with the almost total absence of quality and - the 'human touch'..!

Thanks ever so much! I really appreciate it!

The first single i ever owned. Well, my sister bought me this and Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush at the same time. Thanks, Sis.

Your sister rules!

That guitar solo is just fantastic

Loved this, love your enthusiasm for it. It certainly did hit a whole generation. Never saw the original show, too busy at the disco, but saw Roger Waters perform it in the old Olympic stadium in Berlin a few years ago. Unforgettable, even without the rest of the Floyd. Cheers Warren.

Oh wow! I'll never forget how I first heard this song: kids chanting "We don't need no education!" in the locker room in 1979!

I remember that first time I heard it as well!

Bob Ezrin is all over the album. The ultimate producer. Schools Out, Another brick in the Wall. Without Ezrin, the album would never have happened. ✌️🤘🏴☠️🇦🇺

You and Rick Beato make these tunes so interesting by dissecting the songs.

Thank you!

Pink had such an impact on my life, coming to the USA from Latin America right in 1979, here was this incredible sound, unique, compelling, insightful in every way... But the record that first blew my mind, was dark side of the moon, which first made a profound mark in my mind. I remember everybody at the school also, singing the wall.

So many amazing songs and albums by this incredible band, but Wish You Were Here (both the album and the song) are and always will be my favorites. From Meddle to The Wall, I don't know if any artist or band has ever or will ever have a better stretch of phenomenal records.

Absolutely Alexander! Thanks very much

Some great albums were released in the late 70s, this is one of of them. Can still hear it on the boom boxes from my high school days.

Amazing

Our school was divided into dozens of subcultures with divers and almost mutual exclusive musical preferences from Smokey over Van Halen to Cockney Rejects. This one song brought everyone together.

Compliments on another great one Warren. I was only a couple months shy of seven years old when this song was released, but I remember it felt like it became the undisputed youth anthem of our generation within a few hours of its first broadcast over the radio. I didn’t get to see the film until the early nineties at a midnight showing in a cinema full of stoners in Rapid City, South Dakota… That said, from my point of view as a musician, “Goodbye Blue Sky”, “Young Lust and “Run Like Hell” are the best songs on the record. Cheers!

I agree with everything you said James! Thanks ever so much

I loved hearing your personal stories about that album. I was about the same age too and I befriended a girl just because her daddy owned the local theater so we went to watch The Wall every weekend. I don’t remember her name but I remember that feeling of watching that movie for the first time.
