Abstract
The first time I heard a Pink Floyd album was in the late ‘80s. I was with my older cousin who introduced me to The Wall. The good time, party rock scene of the ‘80s hair bands was beginning to fade alongside my preteen years, but popular music had yet to turn the corner to the ‘90s West Coast alternative rock scene, which would resonate with me in my teenage years. For me, The Wall, released in 1982, filled a music void in that span of time.
