Don't ever say Pink Floyd sounds like somebody else...the somebody else sound like Pink Floyd.

"The Wall" really falls into the rock opera genre. Listening to the entire album would answer your questions about why certain sounds (like the helicopters) were used in the beginning. Much like the Who's Quadrophenia and Tommy rock operas individual songs are great but hearing them in context with each other tells the whole story.

Let's give a round of applause for Tim Renwick the second guitar player as well.<br>Great solo in it's own right.

I think the singing style of the backup singers  is meant to sound more like the children who originally sang those parts.

Their album Dark Side of the Moon is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records. DSOTM made the Billboard top 200 in 1973, the year I was born, and stayed there until I was 14 years old, 724 consecutive weeks. That placed them in Guinness's for the longest time on the charts. DSOTM has frequently reappeared on the charts over the years since it first left. As of this month September 2023 the album has made the top 200 list a staggering 1000 weeks total. 2nd place is Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers 229 weeks less than DSOTM.

'the guitarist is really really gorgeous'??? You damn him with faint praise! He's f*cking legend! Nobody bends emotion out of so few cords that he does!

Helicopter is the authoritarian hovering and monitoring of the students

This is a song protesting the harsh treatment kids got at UK schools. I was 13 when this album came out. So it hit home for me and a lot of kids of my generation. Even though our schools were probably more progressive than some of the traditional UK schools.

I see the helicopters as part of the scene setting to create the feel of living under the onus of war that hung over the U.K when they were kids..

Even though you don't react to movies, please consider watching The Wall even if it's on your own. When this came out, I was in 8th grade and the first time hearing it was off the jukebox in the poolhall. One of my best friends said he had the album, so we left to go to his house to play it. Soon after, we were singing this in the classroom. LOL One thing that draws me in is that bass-line, love a good bass-line. It just wouldn't sound right without the British accent, especially with the kids.

The reason why they sing the verse so mechanically and robotically is because that is what the song is about.  The subject of the song is how English schools discouraged individuality and creativity and instead promoted conformity and, for lack of a better word, coldness towards their students.   Another brick in the wall means everyone is the same, faceless, with no uniqueness, nothing to separate one person from anyone else.  That is what he felt the English school systems were churning out.   Everyone singing in a monotonous tone helps drive home the point.
