an album like the wall cant be measured only by sales-singles. and if a live act is a nostalgia act or not is depending on the way the performer-artist plays his music and reacts to it, i wouldnt call it nostalgia and i m not a pink floyd fan ,i rarely listen to them. but ssw and the wall are not in the same level

According to the artist's career it is almost the same (you can never really compare anything if we speak about it). I know some songs from The Wall and I enjoy some of them and I respect Pink Floyd as a unique artist. But I see this as a commercial step to gain more money on his past, moreover on a past of a band he has left. Yeah, he wrote The Wall but it was the band who recorded it and I think it would have been different if it wasn't Gilmour playing the guitar (at least him). Many artists play many songs from their best/commercially successful albums but they don't need to name the tour after them 30 years later.
And yes I know that The Wall is not a classic album that it is a different thing. But still..

I'm not alone great!
Overrated - that's the reason I can't listen to many "classic" bands which are considered as true rock bands. U2, Deep Purple, Led Zepellin, Pink Floyd, ACDC Black Sabbath. I don't say they don't have good songs but I think they are sooooo overrated and because of them other good music is omitted.
