Pink Floyd, The wall vs Dark Side of the Moon.

Thank you, good luck to you too. As for sources it is perfectly fine to post them in the comment section. But I think it is easier to just post a separate link. That way viewers don't have to go fishing through the comments section. But of course you can do it any way you want. Arguments:C.1 A very creative and imaginative master piece: [1]One reason why "The Wall" is such a master piece is because the whole album is a story. But not only is it a story, Roger Waters, who was the main force behind creating the album, also created a movie to go along with it. The album/movie is about a rock star called Pink and his mental break down latter in life. He lost his father in world war two as a child. He was left behind with his mother who was both loving and over protective.(From the song "Mother") Latter in life he gets a divorce with his wife. Much of the movie is about his mental breakdown and often shows him in a state of disillusion and detachment from the world. At one point of the movie he goes into a wild frenzy (From the song "One of my Turns") while he has a lover in his room. He throws vases, breaks mirrors, hurls objects at the girl a few times, and throws his TV out of his high story window onto the busy street bellow. "The Wall" was inspired from Waters own mental breakdown. Thus "Pink" in the story was partly based off of Waters himself. Waters also, most probably, got some ideas from former "Pink Floyd" leader Syd Barret who had his own mental break down caused from drugs. I found the movie very different to anything I have experienced. It was undoubtedly a worthwhile experience, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I can't say that everyone would like it though, because of it's dark mood. But that is only taste, it does not detract from the fact that this was a master piece. The total length of the movie is about one hour and thirty five minutes. [2]There are very albums I'm sure that have a movie to go along with it! This argument supports the fact that "The Wall" is more creative than "DSOTM".Just to make it clear I'm not saying it was entirely Roger Waters who created the movie. It was written by Waters and directed by Alan Parker. [2] David Gilmour also did some writing of his own, but it was mainly Waters. C.2 Total song time of "The Wall' compared to "DSOTM"."The wall" is 1.3 hours long according to my iTunes account. DSOTM only has about 42 minutes. Sorry that last part might be a little bit off, somehow "money" got deleted from my iTunes account, so I had to add how long Amazon said the song was to 36 minutes making it 42. But if there is any difference at all it is small I am sure. [3] C.3 The wall has more songs. The wall has a total of 26 songs.[3] Dark side has less than half, with only 10 songs. [4]This is one factor to why The wall is a more creative and imaginative album than DSOTM. C.4 The Wall is superior lyrically:The wall is obviously lyrically superior when you compare the amount of lyrics put into "The Wall" as apposed to "DSOTM". Before I go on, let me make clear the figures are probably not exact. I copy and pasted the lyrics from each individual song from the websites referenced, making sure not to count the song title and some of the none lyrical parts, onto Microsoft word. I used the word count tool to come up with my figures. So these numbers are probably not exact but if there is any difference it is minor. Ok, so here it is "DSOTM" has a total of 1,167 words,[5] "The Wall" has a total of 3,153 words.[6] That is more than twice the amount of words, not far from three times the amount. This factor added with the fact that the whole album is a story, makes "The Wall" lyrically superior. C.5 You tube search of songs:First let's look what shows up when you type pink floyd into the You tube search bar on the home page.The * represents that it's from "The Wall". The ~ represents that it's from "Dark Side". Wish You were hereComfortably Numb *Another Brick in the wall *the wall *hey you *time ~money ~dark side of the moon ~shine on you crazy diamondmother *You tube is one of the most common sources that people use in means of looking for music. Five of the most searched PF related things are from "The Wall" while three are from dark side. As you can see four out of five of the most searched are from "The Wall" while it takes up until the sixth most searched thing for it to have a dark side song. C.6 More popular songsNow lets take a look at how many songs achieved more than one million views on You tube. Songs that achieved more than 1mill views from "Dark side of the moon":1.Time [7] 2.Brain Damage [8] 3. Money [9]Songs that achieved more than 1mill views from "The Wall":1. Another Brick in the wall [10]2. Mother [11]3. Goodbye Blue Sky [12]4. Empty Spaces [13]5. Hey You [14]6. Comfortably Numb [15] 7. Run Like Hell [16]8. Waiting for the Worms [17] 9. The Trial [18]10. Outside the Wall. [19] (This one is questionable because the original is less than two minutes long but this was taken from the movie and is over four minutes long)."Goodbye cruel world/is there anybody out there"[20] also got really close with more than 930,000 views. This is three times the amount of songs (if you exclude outside the wall). This I think supports the fact that "The Wall" simply has more popular songs or more of pink floyds "classics". I will now hand it over to con and again good luck!Sources:Sorry about the overload of sources.[1] http://www.thewallanalysis.com...[2] http://www.rottentomatoes.com...
