Which side of The Wall is better?

[Tzvia_lovefloyd]

i was just wondering what you guys thought. cause for a while i liked side one better, and then i liked side two and now i cant decide and i just love them both equally.

what do you guys say?

[floydphreak]

This is a DDT but what the heck. I love side 2, cuz that's when he starts getting all Hitler-like, plus it's got Comfortably Numb and the Trial.

[Tzvia_lovefloyd]

yeah, those songs are really good. im jewish so i wasnt too intent on the whole jewish comments and i dont really like the whole coon thing and stuff like that. but i still think that In the Flehs is an amazing song...
but really, the lyrics are "are there any queers in the theatre tonight? get em up against the wall. theres one in the spotlight, he dont look right to me, get him up against the wall. that one looks jewish and thats ones a coon" like you cant get much more racist and un-politically correct than that. i guess its just cause that was when no gay people had come out and stuff like that.

i think i may also be liking side two better as well.

oh and i looked it up in the search and didnt find anything

I've just listened to The wall and I can't choose, guess I'll just have to take the whole thing.

I think he means:

Side 1:
In the Flesh?
The Thin Ice
Another Brick in the Wall Part 1
The Happiest Days of our Lives
Another Brick in the Wall Part 2
Mother

Side 2:
Goodbye Blue Sky
Empty Spaces
Young Lust
One Of My Turns
Don't Leave Me Now
Another Brick in the Wall Part 3
Goodbye Cruel World

Side 3:
Hey You
Is There Anybody Out There?
Nobody Home
Vera
Bring the Boys Back Home
Comfortably Numb

Side 4:
The Show Must Go On
In The Flesh!
Run Like Hell
Waiting For The Worms
Stop
The Trial
Outside The Wall

...Like it is on vinyl. I'd have to go with Side 4, followed by Side 1, 3, then 2. The Entire Album is awesome, but nothing can beat Run Like Hell.

Is the point. That he becomes a terrible person, &c. The views endorsed by the character singing the song are not in any way endorsed by the band performing same. And so it goes and so it goes and the book says.

Pink is a fictional charachter, The Wall is theatre, is it so difficult to get??? never heard the word satire ????

Oh, I see, you're a nazi.

[Tzvia_lovefloyd]

hey, im jewish

[fixxlevy]

Well done.

However, I do remember a Semitic argument happening several years ago between Archer_ and Not Now John which resulted in much arguing and mudslinging.

So- let's make this entirely clear now:

Tzvia, please don't be offended. There are many differing types of people on this site and occasionally, offence may be caused entirely unintentionally.

Aneurysm, Floydphreak is in no way a Nazi. I'll delete the comment if you PM me and confirm that you want it gone.


'END'

[Tzvia_lovefloyd]

haha, thanks for the comment and what not. im not at all offended, im not at all religious and in no way do i think that he's a nazi, i know its all a joke, and it is a bit more interesting when they get into all the hitler shit like Floydphreak said. i think its all interesting, i did a whole speach on hitlers life for my english class, i dont care about the comment.

[fixxlevy]

Fair enough. Just nipping it in the bud.

Yeah, usually theatre wants to say something...
