As the ads said at the time: "there's old wave, there's new wave, and there's David Bowie". One side avant-pop, one side ambient before the term was coined. Both brilliant.

Behind the screams (which are part of the manic atmosphere), what a kick-ass band! An electrifying, exciting set and document of its time (1964-65) that contributed to keep them relevant during Punk Year Zero (1977).

A multi-million selling commercial monster of AOR. Deservedly so.

George Orwell's "Animal farm" inspired Roger Waters to write a whole album about humanity divided in three archetypes: dogs, pigs and sheep. The music is more than good enough to make the misanthropy very easy to accept.

Demanding but well worth repeated listening. This musician is clearly not running for office. Or the pop charts.

A "new wavy"/ punk aesthetical approach to classic rock musicality, or is it the other way around? Hugely influential anyway.
