Pink Floyd is probably the greatest rock band of all time in my opinion. Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 is their worst song and so freaking unsatisfying to hear come on the radio. It's like when people's only reference to Fight Club is "We don't talk about Fight Club." Okay great, you missed not only the entire point of the movie, but you can't even wrap your head around what that one single line actually meant. But that's why Fight Club (and therefore Palahniuk and Fincher) and Pink Floyd made money and were able to continue making great art for the people who are capable of understanding and appreciating subtext, so I guess I can't be too mad. But I am.
I mean, The Wall isn't even close to being their best album. It's not their worst, at least -- thanks to Syd Barrett and The Final Cut.
Is it their best album? No. Is it still one of the greatest albums of all time? Definitely. Is Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 representative of the album at all? Hell nope!
