Top 1980 Songs – #4: Comfortably Numb

Despite it being on the same 1979 album as Another Brick in the Wall, it wasn’t released as a single until January 4, 1980, thus passing the criteria for making it into this countdown.  And boy does this song make an impact even today.  It is one of the greatest guitar solos of all time, and the song is still as massive today as it was then.  When you can listen to the song and end up singing back both the lyrics and the guitar solos, it’s not to place this at #4 in the countdown – Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd.
