Several veteran rock artists have teamed to record a track-by-track tribute to Pink Floyd's "The Wall." Due Sept. 27 via the Cleopatra Records' Purple Pyramid imprint, "Back Against the Wall" boasts the participation of Jethro Tull's Ian Anderson, the Doors' Robby Krieger and Yes' Rick Wakeman, Chris Squire and Steve Howe.

Another former Yes alum, Billy Sherwood, produced the tribute, which also features King Crimson's Adrian Belew and Tony Levin, ELP's Keith Emerson, Styx's Tommy Shaw and Toto's Steve Lukather, as well as actor Malcolm McDowell, who provides spoken dialogue.

Sounds interesting.

But the tribute I still haven't heard yet is Tommy Shaw singing Spread Your Wings on the Queen tribute.

Has anyone heard that?

Waiting for folks to pull some bricks out of the wall and throw them at me but....here goes. I am NOT a fan of Pink Floyd. They leave me, oh let me say....comfortably numb.

So this album, like any of PF's albums is of no interest to me.

I was probably the only one who was not "excited" about the reunion for Live 8. They put me to sleep, yet again. :P

Bugsy (ducking from those other bricks in the wall!)
