Pink Floyd | Another Brick In The Wall, Part Two (1979)

"Another Brick in the Wall" is a three-part composition on Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera The Wall, written by bassist Roger Waters. "Part 2", a protest song against rigid schooling, features a children's choir.

"Part 2" was released as a single, Pink Floyd's first in the UK since "Point Me at the Sky" (1968). It became their only number-one single in the UK, the United States, West Germany and many other countries, and sold over four million copies worldwide.


It was nominated for a Grammy Award, and was number 375 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
