You don't believe it Larry?? What would you do if I told you that I don't
even like Led Zep IV that much?? Why is The Wall "history's stupidest
concept album?? Because it's the true story of Roger Water's life?? Maybe
you don't like depressing music but I happen to thrive on it and I think
that the Wall is an incredible album. Possibly three Pink Floyd albums made it
because they are a highly technical group/ good late night music and I would
think a lot of people involved with Computers would be late night people.
(Don't flame me on this last statement--it's just a passing thought)
