Shotgun 1 #1 September 20, 2005 Ok, this has always been one of my favorite albums, but I haven't listened to it in a few years because I only have it on vinyl and I no longer have a turntable (hmm, I need to correct that problem!)... So I just felt an overwhelming urge to listen to some of the songs and couldn't wait to order the CD... So I went to Napster and bought my favorite songs from the album: "Waiting for the Worms," "Hey You," "One of My Turns," "Comfortably Numb," "The Thin Ice," "Mother," and "Nobody Home." Does anyone else love this album as much as I do??? And what are your favorite songs? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FIREFLYR 0 #2 September 20, 2005 My favorite is ..........Wish you were Here......... ~J"One flew East,and one flew West..............one flew over the cuckoo's nest" "There's absolutely no excuse for the way I'm about to act" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #3 September 20, 2005 Probably not on that album, but I liked "Learning To Fly" before I quit keeping up with music..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shotgun 1 #4 September 20, 2005 QuoteMy favorite is ..........Wish you were Here......... Ok, well that's not from "The Wall," but that is a damn good song...

Yeah, that's a good one too. I had a tape of it, but I don't think I have it anymore. (None of my tapes ever lasted very long!) I remember when "The Wall" first came out - I think I was about 8 years old. I would go over to one of my friend's homes - we were all into the Bee Gees at that time - and her parents were playing "The Wall" quite a bit, and I remember thinking it was total crap and wondering why they liked it so much. It wasn't until I was about 14 or 15 that I listened to it again and realized the beauty of it... I still like the Bee Gees too though.

I tried watch the Movie "The Wall" about 20 different times.. Always fell asleep within the first 15 minutes. Any Pink Floyd song comes on and instantly I am sleepy. A few years ago I finally found out why. Some random Pink Floyd song came on the radio while I was visiting my mother, My first response was turn that crap off before I go to sleep. My mother was shocked that I didn’t like Pink Floyd. She told me that when I was a Child my Father (a HUGE Pink Floyd fan) would always put on "Dark side of the Moon" when it was my nap time. I had absolutely no recollection of this but it suddenly made since why to this day, If you put on a Pink Floyd Album, I will fall asleep.
