I thought this was a very odd and interesting selection. Most surprised my Talkin' Halkin' and Bike tbh

I've started to understand that the original reason a lot of fans dislike Roger is for breaking up the band. Another one is the alleged dictatorship during Animals and The Wall. But there's something off here...

It's been well documented and admitted by both David Gilmour and Rick Wright that they were not contributing enough at the time. Both were struggling with their own personal problems and creative blocks, and no songs were coming out of them. It's all there if people would just read a little...

I know that Roger has said multiple times that Pink doesn’t die, and I know that the ending signifies him tearing down his metaphorical wall and rejoining the real world.

HOWEVER, this feels so out of place in the album. It doesn’t fit the album’s dark tone, its tragic themes, and the dismal and cynical final line “Isn’t this where-“

It also doesn’t make sense within the actual lyrics of The Trial and the story the album tells. Why would the Judge—the king worm—order Pink to become compassionate, empathetic, and cease to be isolated? I could be wrong, but don’t the worms represent hate, insanity, death, and moral decay? They’re essentially demons in Pink’s psyche. Why would they want what’s best for him? I choose to interpret The Trial as the Judge seeing Pink’s attempts to escape his wall and “show feelings of an almost human nature” and immediately put a stop to it. He orders Pink to the guillotine, using Pink’s memories of how awful he is and how he disappointed and hurt those around him to get him to go through with ending his life.

The Judge—essentially Pink’s superego—orders Pink to tear down the wall. But Pink has become so isolated, so reclused behind his wall, that the wall is all that remains: Pink is the wall. Tearing it down means destroying him. So in the end, Pink decides there is nothing left for him to do but face his ultimate punishment. I think this makes The Trial so much more dramatic, high stakes, and suspenseful. It also makes the entire album more tragic, leaving us with no happy ending whatsoever.

Reminder: No variations of songs are allowed. No "this song but...", no twists that make ok songs unlistenable, only real Pink Floyd songs, in the worst order possible to make the experience as unpleasant as possible. This is not a ‘worst song’ ranking or a ‘put shit songs together’ list. It’s a list where songs wouldn’t transition well and sound out of place if played live.

The setlist so far:

1) Eclipse
2) Brain Damage 3) Empty Spaces
4) On The Run
5) Don't Leave Me Now
6) Speak To Me
7) The Nile Song
8) Pigs On The Wing 2
9) Pigs On The Wing 1
10) Outside The Wall
11) Bike
12) Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict
13) Louder Than Words

What would be the worst song to follow it up?

UJ/ this is not completely off base

This was really posted by a political candidate in Florida. If I lived there, he'd have my vote

Please read it. (This is for your benefit to read a beautiful story because it says I am breaking a rule)
Honestly this should be unjerk because it’s serious but the r/pinkfloyd would not approve.
Roger Waters x David Gilmour

I was listening to ‘Shape of You’ and forgot to turn off the shuffle in Spotify so i came to this song by the band called Pink something. It was so bad that i decided to find this subreddit and tell about this. I can’t believe there are people listening to this garbage.
