It's a trailer trash favorite, not a fan favorite. I find it rather embarrassing that the United States embraced The Wall completely (23x platinum) but practically ignored their earlier (read: "better") works. That's not to say that The Wall is without its moments (Goodbye Blue Sky, Young Lust, Comfortably Numb), but it really was a wholesale departure from their usual style.
