Pink Floyd's Only No. 1 Hit Joins Stones, Talking Heads on Greatest-Songs Lists
x/brian-eno
— Sep 5, 2026
A trio of influential rock tracks is highlighted for how their openings and production shaped pop culture: Pink Floyd’s Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 was expanded by Bob Ezrin into a disco-infused, choir-backed hit; The Rolling Stones’ Sympathy for the Devil is celebrated for its boldly narrated opening line and historical storytelling; Talking Heads’ Once in a Lifetime is spotlighted for its innovative production with Brian Eno and its sermon-like, introspective lyrics despite modest chart success.
