1979 Pink Floyd - Hey You

From: The Wall; Year: 1979; Genre: Progressive Rock

I'm continuing picking songs where the release date coincides with my pick number. There was a great deal of excellent music released in 1979, which made choosing one song quite difficult. Heck, even on this album alone there is a lot of great songs to choose from.
Anyway, for my nineteen-hundred-and-seventy-ninth song picked I'm choosing this one, which is among many that I like off of Pink Floyd's classic album The Wall. I actually thought I had picked it at some time in the past, but I was surprised that I hadn't. I've always loved how this one was constructed especially at the beginning of the song. I really like David Gilmour's playing of the oddly tuned acoustic guitar and the fretless bass.

Here is a music video clip with the studio version of Hey You on YouTube.
