Pink Floyd songwriter and vocalist Roger Waters wrote ‘Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2’ as a part of Pink Floyd’s larger concept album The Wall. The song was critical of the formal education system within the UK at that time, containing the lyrical slogan “Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone!” with a catchy disco rhythm section and singable lyrics. The song remains one of Pink Floyd’s most commercially successful singles, peaking at number 1 in multiple countries and UK Christmas number 1 for 1979. The album The Wall was later adapted into a critically acclaimed feature-length movie in 1982 that won two BAFTA awards.

Throughout their career the evolving and unique sound of Pink Floyd has had a marked influence on rock and pop music. They first formed in the ‘60s with frontman Syd Barrett, primarily creating and releasing psychedelic pop music. As the group continued to progress and grow in popularity, Pink Floyd grew their sound while also having an impact on the music of their time, helping shape genres such as art rock, prog rock and psychedelic rock. After the departure of Syd Barrett, some of their most well-known albums were released with frontman Roger Waters, including Wish You Were Here, Animals and their international best-selling album Dark Side of the Moon. Pink Floyd remain one of the most commercially successful bands of all time, having sold over 250 million albums worldwide.
