Best Songs From Pink Floyd's The Wall

Having heard a lot of the album, this is clearly the stand out track. While Waters' parts are very good, it's Gilmour who truly sells with angelic vocals and wonderful production, particularly with some of the best solos to grace the rock genre in history. While the album may contain other great songs, none can top this masterpiece and is one of the best songs of all time.

Best rock song of all time... The verses are mysterious, the chorus is melodic as can be and the last solo is out of this world.

On this album, there is Comfortably Numb to a lesser degree Hey You, 3 or 4 decent songs and the rest which are fillers, so the choice isn't very hard.

The song is good. But the concept really rocks it! A paranoid man seeking isolation, speaking to his therapist, The Doctor (original title for this track). Beautiful concept. Mind blowing!

I really like the dark atmosphere and the deep meaningful lyrics of this song. I also love the unique guitar solo and melancholy tone making this stand out as one of the best songs by Pink Floyd in my personal opinion.

This song speaks to me, and it shows me what happens when I try to block everyone else off, Pink Floyd's songs in general always help me through things, but this song is always the first I listen to.

Haunting and meaningful song and lyrics. You can hear the desperation in Roger's voice as he sings the last verse.

Transitions are great and bridge is really catchy.

well my actual favorite is comfortably numb but I guessed everyone would vote that and this is definitely the best part of another brick in the wall, also where the hell is 'In The Flesh'?

This was a cool song from Pink Floyd because it was their only number-one single in both US and in UK. guys please vote it to number one!
This song was intended to be their greatest songs of their mainstream career because it was a chart-topper!

Overplayed, but still packs a punch and still is enjoyably anti-establishment. Ironic this came from Roger Waters who claimed you couldn't find someone more pro-education than him.

Why isn't this at No.2. The top three should be 1: Comfortably Numb, 2: Run Like Hell, 3: Young Lust. Ooops... Those are the three that David Gilmour wrote most of. Besides Run Like Hell has an iconic guitar delay riff which later evolved into other bands using Guitar delay like U2. It is a great song and a better closer. Surely people have seen it as the last track on the PULSE live album. Another Brick at 2? It's not that good... All it has is a guitar solo. (I agree with Hey You, replacing Young Lust at 3. THIS SHOULD BE AT 2!

This and Young Lust are, in my opinion, the weakest thematically on the album. Gilmour can only write accessible straight-forward structure bores and that really stands out (negatively) next to Waters' abstract and emotionally charged masterpieces

A great mix of Hard Rock and even Disco. The riffs are pretty Hard Rock sounding but the beats are Disco sounding. The instrumental alone is enough to make this one of the best songs from The Wall.

A hauntingly beautiful song that makes the listener wish it would never end. Although relatively simple, it is among my favorites by Pink Floyd.

An incredible song based around the bombing of London during the blitz from the perspective of a child.

An incredibly moving interpretation of what life was like during the Blitz and a potent anti-war message.

There are some other songs that are good and if some one told me this wasn't there favorite I would flip out but it deserves top 5 minimum the only song that I would say is better is comfortably numb but that song is not going any were so I thought I would vote for the most under rated song on the album.

Thumbs up if you think The Wall is the Pink Floyd album

Easily the best of the wall in my opinion, I love how it's the trail in his head, how overexaggerated the characters and how they're all roger waters. It really is a haunting chorus and while I understand why most people like comfortably numb, I love the creativity of the trial more

This song is a great wrap-up to the entire album and I love the way Pink is doing a trial against himself in his head. It's no "Comfortably Numb" or "Another Brick in the Wall", but it is the epic ending of this incredible album.

Comfortably Numb is *objectively* the best song on the album, and I can see why, but this song is so emotional for me and connects to my family situation so well that I can't vote for anything else. The juxtaposition of the soothing, calm melody and the dark, depressing lyrics and message give this song a flavor that no other song on CD 1 really accomplished.

Best song from the album it is so deep. Mother should I trust the government is now a cult phrase.

This is so beautiful. The movie ruins.
This was the first guitar solo I learnt the whole way through.
Long live Roger Waters

Goodbye Blue Sky is a good song but I want something more heavy, that sticks with you, and is good for any mood. Young Lust meets all those requirements. Definitely one of my favorites from the Wall.

An awesome rocky break from the darker songs on the album, and perfectly summarises the young lust of pink.

This song rocks 12 this should be 5 the trail is 10 that is my worst song by pink floyd. This should be hhiigghherr
The wall is like a doulble album with 2 disc

Great lyrics and guitar. Roger Waters voice is slightly better on this than on in the flesh? When he says to feel it has a slight rasp that gives me goosebumps. Obviously David had a technically better voice but Roger Waters voice is very unique and really suits the wall.

Hey You is best, than Comfortably Numb- but this song is underrated. This is the follow up to In The Flesh? And is much greater. They both have the same stellar riff, but it get's really high pitched here. Unbelievable.

The guitar is simply amazing. The lyrics are fantastic and the theme of the song speaks to many...

Great guitar riff and the delay fits perfectly, the deep lyrics can easily make you feel Waters' childhood through flashbacks

An underrated (I think) interpretation of Water's childhood.

"Empty Spaces" is the darkest and most sinister piece on the entire album and the words highlight every suspenseful chord and serious nature of the track; The rising build and crescendo is matched only by the dark atmosphere that equally matches the suspense of the piece. It is my second-favorite track on the entire masterpiece, second only to the "Another Brick in the Wall" tracks for the feel and emotion reflected by these lyrics running in synchronization with the very powerful melody of the piece itself.

A dark and foreboding sense to it. A short but scary song which goes very nicely alongside young lust.

Both this part of the movie and the song are really good. It just sounds so foreboding!

Very loud and aggressive lyrics and vocals from Waters. Great.

"Got 13 channels of s*** on T.V. to choose from"
"I've got amazing powers of observation"
"I've got a strong urge to fly, but I've got nowhere to fly to"

It's lines like this that make this album so great.

This song is amazing, I love the Piano in this song; maybe it's not too "rocker" like Comfortably Numb or Hey You, but the Lyrics of Nobody Home are AMAZING, it had a huge meaning, it's wonderful.

Some very nice orchestral qualities with contributions from Wright, and some softer vocals from Waters

Has some important themes and a very nice mix of vocals from Gilmour and Waters. Also some very good character interpretation

Would you like to see... Our coloured cousins... Home again, my friend?

All you need to do is follow the worms.

Should be in the top 5... One of the sickest guitar riffs ever.

Great introduction and pacing and transitions. I love the descriptive lyrics and well played instrumentals. Overlooked and under-rated one of the best on the album in my opinion.

A song that literal turns from being something very tame and passive to an explosion of aggression. Just like one of my turns.

Great song with an awesome transition from somber to aggressive, should be higher.

This songs deserves to be way higher on the list. I love the transaction from Gilmour's soft voice to Roger's high pitched voice and then the instrumental explosion that follows and segues into Another Brick in the Wall pt. 1. The lyrics are great, Rick's playing during the singing is great and Dave's playing is great as well.

I was literally scrolling down and down, wondering why this song isn't way above where it is. The quiet but sad beginning is great. It sets the mood for the whole album and that's what's so nice about this one.

The song should be higher on this list. A change of attitude half way through the song makes it a fantastic one.

I was going to vote comfortably numb but when I saw in the flesh? At 18, I was like what is wrong with you people. From the soft beginning til the plain crash, this is one of the best pink Floyd songs ever. I am also surprised that In the Flesh 2 is so far ahead when this one is much more famous and the fact that the other is racist.

There's two songs on this album with same title this is the intro song and one of the best of the album

19? Really? This deserves much better than 19...

Basic lyrics put into a moody and atmospheric place, with some elegant guitar work. Also reprised very well in bring the boys back home.

How is this not higher? This song brings so much to the table and is on par woth Stairway to heaven by Led Zeppelin

The guitar work here is beautiful - this should be in the top 10

Short but sharp. Wright's piano work stands out here.

How can this song be this low?! It is the sound of someone calling out for help and the last moments of sanity. Brilliant!

In my opinion, the worst of the album. The vocals are interesting but the song lacks musical depth.

I feel like this song should be way higher. Top 10 material in my opinion.

That doesn't make sense. Queen has a song with the same title. I know they didn't write it first, but I'm a little confused...

Should be rated higher on this list. The vocals are lovely but it is overshadowed by Comfortably Numb

But this isn't from the Wall, it's from Innuendo!

I'm just joking.

I agree with this song it doesn't talk about the word being cruel but the title is right the world is bad evil people and stuff but thank god that the usa is a safe place Canada Australia england and more but I'm talk n about North Korea Syria and Iraq

It's powerful. I want to pick a knife and put it in my head every time I listen to it ;-;. Goodbye

A chilling yet satisfying goodbye to ordinary social life for pink.

Great song but it's not on the album
