Another Brick In The Wall


"Another Brick In The Wall" is a three-part composition by Pink Floyd, appearing on their 1979 album The Wall and written by bassist Roger Waters. Part 2, the most widely recognized section, is a protest against corporal punishment and rigid schooling, featuring a children's choir and disco-influenced production suggested by producer Bob Ezrin. For electric guitar players, the track offers a study in restrained, atmospheric rhythm work alongside one of rock's most recognizable lead guitar moments.

  • The Wall is Pink Floyd's eleventh studio album, released in 1979 — giving the song a clear progressive rock era context.
  • Producer Bob Ezrin suggested incorporating disco elements, which influenced the song's distinctive rhythm guitar feel.
  • Roger Waters wrote all three parts of 'Another Brick In The Wall' as connected pieces exploring themes of emotional isolation.
