But what's your favorite song from it

I'd consider myself a pretty big Pink Floyd fan as well, but this album just falls way behind works like Meddle

Dear Lord.

Meddle starts out with a solid jam, then has a slow dragging number, 2 awesome songs (fearless is one of my favorites they've ever done), followed by what is widely regarded as one of the worst tracks they've ever put out. Then you have echoes which is great, but it's 25 got damn minutes. I'm a big floyd fan but at some point there comes a time where you're just done listening to a song.

To say that Meddle is "way behind" the wall is simply laughable.

The Wall might be Floyd's worst album other than the the later stuff that is barely worth listening to

it represents everything that sucks about prog/concept album music. overindulgent is putting it nicely.

Echoes may very well be the greatest Pink Floyd song of them all.

Meddle pound for pound is a much better album. The Wall is full of throwaway crap and always reminded me of a poor man's Tommy or Quadrophenia.

It's hard to really compare "pound for pound" since the wall has like 25 "songs" (some of which are only a minute, and I believe a couple are even less than a minute) while Meddle only has 6. And it bears repeating Meddle contains the worst song PF has ever put out. It has 2 great songs, 2 good songs, a below average song, and a shitty one.

I'm not talking "pound for pound", because the disparity in song quantity is too much..I'm talking about albums. And The wall is far and away the better album. It's better than ummagumma and AHM as well.
