Pink Floyd, 'The Wizard of Oz,' and Me

Pink Floyd is best experienced through whole albums. Take 45 minutes and listen to "The Dark Side of the Moon". Or, "The Wall", which could be called more "theatrical". Those are probably their two most celebrated albums, but there's more.

If you're just looking for "part of a song" to get you hooked, then maybe it's not for you. You don't need to be on drugs and I'd say it's combination of lyrics and music (but probably more music part, because they do have some great songs with few or no lyrics).

I actually think “Comfortably Numb” stands up better as a single than The Wall does as an album though.

The wall is best enjoyed by watching the movie.

Once you’ve done that then you can enjoy listening to the music by itself.

I've done that. I stand by my previous take that Comfortably Numb is a considerably better single than The Wall is an album.
