Defend This Album: Pink Floyd's The Wall

We all love things that others love to hate, whether it's a Counting Crows CD you can't get rid of or your "Degrassi Junior High" boxed set. Now I'm giving you a chance to explain yourselves in a new feature called Defend This.

This week, I'm calling all you Pink Floyd lovers out there to defend the band's 1979 double-album The Wall. I, for one, have spent many hours arguing the merits of this album — from the school-kid choirs to the bizarre WWII imagery and even Roger Waters' self-indulgent songwriting.

But while it's cool to like Piper at the Gates of Dawn or "Wish You Were Here," it takes a pretty devoted fan to stare down the mobs of music snobs who make fun of The Wall. So, if you're feeling up to it ... on your marks, get set, defend!
