Milestones in the history of music. Today: The Wall

The published in 1979 album "The Wall" will probably uncontroversial a very special position in the history of rock music.
Ten years earlier, The Who designed an entirely new kind of rock music staging. With her work "Tommy" they had managed to bring to market an album that was like cast in one piece. It dealt, from beginning to end with an action. The songs have been held together by a common concept and formed a plant. It was the first time that such a thing had emerged as a rock opera.
Exactly this, namely the creation of a rock opera, succeeded Pink Floyd, Roger Waters or with "The Wall" in perfect form. Here, too, is thematically concerned with telling a single story. Musically the whole thing looks like this, that a piece mostly seamlessly merges into the next and only there breaks occur where they are content required - like in a real opera so. The composer Roger Waters have succeeded in such an impressive way that I personally rarely would like to listen to me only a particular song on the album, but most feel the need to enjoy the complete work. This means that I do not very often hear "The Wall". But if I then do it, this is associated with a particularly intense experience of music that does not also threatens to wear off.
"The Wall" is in the form in which it has arisen already relatively lonely on a limb here. There are few albums that have such an effect, and also important for the rock music. It is indeed a genuine milestone in the history of music, and any halfway interested should possess this album.
