Amazing how many people have never listened to The Wall. It's the only album from my childhood that's still 100% listenable and fresh sounding

Absolute ground-breaker at the time

I don’t know if “show and tell” was a thing at your school but somehow I had a copy of Another Brick in the Wall vinyl single and played it for the class. I must have been in grade 5 or 6. What a fuckin legend I am haha.

The Wall has held up so very well. Alarmingly relevant too.
