March 21, 1980 –
Pink Floyd’s powerful protest song Another Brick in the Wall, Part 2 reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, where it remained for 11 consecutive weeks. This track was part of their iconic rock opera album The Wall, which was released in 1979.
The song stood out not only for its haunting sound and memorable guitar riff but also for its bold message. The track protests against the rigid and oppressive British school system of the time, especially the authoritarian teaching methods that stifled individuality and creativity. The memorable chorus — “We don’t need no education…” — captured this defiance, making it a powerful anthem for rebellion and non-conformity.
