Not a big fan of The Wall.

 

Still need to obtain the Lamb.

 

Almost certain I'll like The Lamb more so I'm voting for it.

The Wall, for sure. A great sounding album.

 

Very true. I walked into work a while back and my coworkers were playing it. Sounded great even on a cheap and lousy boombox with one speaker blown out.

Gilmour's tone is exquisite. Add to that all the groovy sounds effects and you got a heck of a listening experience.

As much as I dig Genesis on most everything I have to go with The Wall. I can't get into the Lamb.

The wall...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

...of death is lowered in Times Square...

No-one seems to care, they carry on as if nothing was there.

The wind is blowing harder now, blowing dust into my eyes.

The dust settles on my skin, making a crust I cannot move in.

And I'm hovering like a fly, waiting for the wind-shield on the freeway...

 

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades... :smoke: :hail: :ph34r: ... :7up: :haz: :dweez:

Both are incredible pieces of work, but I have to give the nod to Lamb. The Wall my be a victim of it's own success, because I've heard it more, Lamb sounds fresher to me, so I enjoy listening to it more.

Pretty

 

 

Mild mannered supermen are held in kryptonite,

And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright.

Through a door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight;

It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight.

The carpet crawlers heed their callers:

"We've got to get in to get out

We've got to get in to get out."

The Wall gets a lot of flack because people who weren't Floyd fans bought it.

 

People who weren't Floyd fans bought it because it's unbelievable.

 

Early Genesis does nothing for me.

 

I know I wasn't alive, but floyd were already one of the biggest bands in the world when the wall came out, right? by your logic, this hipster strawman you've created would think every record they released after meddle is a piece of shit.

I really wanted to get into Lamb, but nothing about it was memorable or evocative to me. The Wall is an all time great album.

 

Floyd in an absolute blowout here.
