1986 was in no way ready for this song.

Found "The Wall" on vinyl yesterday.
I have both that and "DSOTM".
I know that Dark Side was released 6 years earlier, and The Wall is a soundtrack, but it's incredible to me how different from each other two albums can be.

Really talented artist. Reminds me of my Austin days circa 2013.

... then there's a couple of strong albums in between – "Wish You Were Here" and "Animals" – which will give you some idea of how they got from here to there.

Point of order: "The Wall" was simply a rock-opera-type concept album when it was released in late 1979 and didn't become adapted for film until 1982. Not a soundtrack.

Also the second vinyl album I ever bought as a kid. At $10.99 on allowance money, it made a dent in my finances.

Been listening to a lot of Peter Gabriel lately. I don't know if I appreciated how fantastic this song is. Growing up, the video kind of overwhelmed the music. Love the bash and guitar riffs. Amazing how big of a hit it was (was part of the "Genesis run" of No. 1 hits in '86, considering how long it was for a radio hit.

This is my favourite Peter Gabriel song, one of the great lost rockers of it's time. Kinda get a Who-like vibe from this one.

Since I just read about Hooters in the economy thread.....

No one ever spoke to Elon,
They all laughed at him instead
Tweetin' in the dark,
Tweetin' all by himself

My daughter made me this needlepoint for my birthday last year.
