If you like The Wall, and have never heard this album, you should give it a listen:

It is a solo album with a really interesting history.

Roger Waters pitched it to the rest of the band and they went with The Wall instead. Waters refused to use the Pink Floyd brand to promote his solo stuff, so a lot of it is a lot less well known.
Some amazing musicians involved with this too, listen to Eric Clapton in Sexual Revolution.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it if you like Pink Floyd and have never heard this before.

Well, the idea for the album came concurrently with the idea for The Wall – the basis of the idea. I wrote both pieces at roughly the same time. And in fact, I made demo tapes of them both, and in fact presented both demo tapes to the rest of the Floyd, and said "Look, I'm going to do one of these as a solo project and we'll do one as a band album, and you can choose." So, this was the one that was left over. Um...I mean, it's developed an awful lot since then, I think.
