"March 26 1980 : Pink Floyd's The Wall breaks the record for longest charting pop album, held at the time by Carole King's Tapestry."

It's a pop album?

I KNOW! And although that may be true, I was only joking. It's sorta heinous.

Well, when I think of "pop" music, I think of Paula Abdul, Cher, Adele. etc. I don't think of Floyd, Zep, and Bob Dylan.

"Jailbreak" is one of the greatest hard rock records ever IMO! It's just killer from start to finish! If any of you wanna hear something off it that I think will blow your mind I recommend 3 super amazing tracks: The soulful super beautiful "Running back" is one of the most melodically beautiful songs, the classic rocker, which is likewise very r and b based and beautiful, "Romeo and the lonely girl" and finally, the masterpiece (IMO) is "Cowboy Song". That song has it all and it's epic and it has not 1 or 2 but 3(!!) amazing guitar solos!!!

Anyway, it is one of my top albums. It's on my chart and it ain't going anywhere anytime soon!!!

Phil Lynette also happens to be a superb songwriter and bassist and has one of the coolest rock voices ever!
