Wall

The Wall??ƒis Pink Floyd?ê?â?ìs eleventh??ƒstudio album, the last studio album released with the classic line-up of guitarist??ƒDavid Gilmour, bassist/lyricist??ƒRoger Waters, keyboardist??ƒRichard Wright??ƒand drummer??ƒNick Mason??ƒbefore Wright left the band. Released as a??ƒdouble album??ƒin November 1979, it was supported by a??ƒtour??ƒwith elaborate theatrical effects, and adapted into a 1982 feature film,??ƒPink Floyd ?ê? The Wall. The album features the band's only number one single "Another Brick in the Wall Part 2".

One of the most acclaimed concept albums of all time, The Wall is renowned as Roger Waters?ê?â?ì Rock Opera dealing with abandonment and personal isolation. Featuring the unique artwork of Gerald Scarfe, the album also yielded the US & UK No. 1 hit Another Brick In The Wall Pt2., and was subsequently adapted for cinema by Alan Parker featuring Bob Geldof in the lead role.

The Wall??ƒfeatures a harsher and more theatrical style than Pink Floyd's previous albums. Wright left the band during its production but remained as a salaried musician, performing with Pink Floyd during the??ƒWall??ƒtour. The album was one of the best selling of 1980, making it the third highest certified album in the United States. Rolling Stone??ƒplaced??ƒThe Wall??ƒat number 87 on its list of "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time".
