| For those not around when this album came out, it's worth listening to the whole album and/or watching the film. There's a lot more to it than a couple of popular songs and some wailing guitar solos. It's a very well told story of the descent of a rock star into depression and madness. |

| @Tommy_C: Yup, as with all Floyd albums, you've got to listen to the whole work. The first side thru ABITW part II is some of the best rock music ever written. |

| Now they need to figure out a way to get the guitar solos into Sporcle - how many of you guys played them in your head when you got to those parts of the quiz? |
 | StupidBunny: | Oct 13th, 2012 at 20:50 GMT | | 0 points |
| I typed "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", never thinking to put an "h" at the end anywhere. Good to see one of these for a song I actually know from beginning to end. |

| For added challenge, I finished this quiz while listening to another Pink Floyd song (Sheep, if you were curious). Perfect score, of course. |

| @ajaxfam: Maybe someday we can get to choose our preferred background music (tho ultimately wd. be a distraction) but we'll just have to visualise the huge mirrored ball and that glorious laser-eyed flying pig. Roger is great solo, but if I cd. have one band re-form there's no doubt which band it wd.be. |

| It's not cheating to listen to quality rock while playing sporcle, is it? |

| I always thought it was, "there is no pain you are receiving..." Sporcle teaches me another valuable lesson. |

| I don't believe the word "at" should be in this quiz. Roger Waters clearly sings, "Is there anyone home?" Not, "Is there anyone 'at' home?" |

| @sydrogerdavid2: I think the "at" is pretty clear. |
 | markyb: | Oct 14th, 2012 at 05:57 GMT | | 5 points |
| Cool Pink Floyd trivia: The first track can be seen as a continuation of the last track. Outside the Wall ends with "Isn't this where. . ." And In the Flesh starts with the same sustained note and ". . .we came in?" |
 | sydrogerdavid2: | Oct 14th, 2012 at 06:02 GMT | | 0 points |
| @smcguigan I see where you hear your "at." You are listening to the live version of the song on the "Is There Anybody Out There?" album. Take a listen to the original album, Roger doesn't sing "at" at all. |

| 7% of the people missed "comfortably" and "numb"?? |
 | Havok3595: | Oct 14th, 2012 at 14:55 GMT | | 2 points |
| If you look at the sleeves for The Wall LP's which have the lyrics, the "at" is definitely in them. Depending on your stereo equipment, you might not hear Roger say it, but you can at minimum hear a pause between "anyone" and "home." |
 | sydrogerdavid2: | Oct 14th, 2012 at 16:09 GMT | | 1 point |
| The sleeve also contains many lyrics that are not in the album itself. Most notably the entire song of "What Shall We Do Now." If I'm not mistaken, most of the lyrics for "Empty Spaces" are also different from what is written on the sleeve. This was due to limited space on vinyl. So is this quiz really about what was on the album, or what was on the sleeve? |

| My favourite song of all time, from the greatest album ever written. Even listening to it in my head while typing out the lyrics makes me feel so much. |

| I've always thought it was cool the way Roger Waters pronounces words like "facts". He puts an "n" sound in there, like "fanx." (Which is why I love the line from The Gunner's Dream: "You can relanx, on both sides of the tranx, and manianx don't blow holes in madmen by remote control..." |
