Last Sunday (30) marked the 35th anniversary of the edition of the most important record work of Pink Floyd, "The Wall", one of the most brilliant and important concept albums in the history of music. It was on November 30, 1979 when the British group released the album that was a before and after in their career; and undoubtedly a true cultural event, staying five weeks at number one on the charts in the United Kingdom and fifteen in the United States, where it sold more than eight million records.
The single 'Another brick on the wall (Part II)', whose sound related to the album is the antipodes of the Floyd style and was the idea of producer Bob Ezrin, is still valid. The Wall was the album that literally saved Pink Floyd, as it freed its members from bankruptcy. At the same time, the success of this album was the one that ended with the group, which could not resist the great dose of self-centeredness that I believe in the main composer of the group: Roger Waters. The Wall has achieved a total of 22 platinum records since its release and has sold more than 33 million copies sold worldwide.
