All saucers matter.

Back to topic and...
The Wall almost never happened.

Way back in '79 when the original album was handed over as a rough draft by Roger Waters to the other members of the band, he also submitted demos of what would become The Pros & Cons of Hitch Hiking at the same time. They were asked to choose their favourite from both as a successor to 1977's Animals album. They went with The Wall.

This work of genius spawned a (massive but fluke) No.1 hit single in the shape of Another Brick...Part 2 and future classics such as Run Like Hell and the timeless Comfortably Numb. After successful and very innovative live shows, Alan Parker's soundtrack movie was a decidedly decent event - mostly driven along by Gerald Scarfe's wonderful artwork set to animation. Even Bob Geldof seemed to pull off the film's central character rather well. The rest is history.

Oh, and by the way, 'Pros & Cons' was eventually released as Waters' debut solo album in '84, Gilmour's proposed guitar parts played adequately by one Eric Clapton.
