* HilariousInHindsight: The above-mentioned line was due to so many people thinking that [[IAmNotShazam Pink Floyd was a person]]. In the universe of ''Music/TheWall'', the protagonist is a rock star named Pink Floyd, though it's heavily implied that it's a StageName in the film adaptation.

** During the album's recording, Music/SydBarrett [[http://ultimateclassicrock.com/syd-barrett-wish-you-were-here-sessions/ showed up unannounced]], [[http://music-lp-underground.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/syd-1.jpg in terrible shape and barely recognizable]], offering to do anything he could to help the band during the session. Considering that the album's theme was fame overtaking the band and how it destroyed Syd -- with it being speculated that the very song they were recording at the moment was Syd's tribute song "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" -- it upset everybody and made it impossible for them to continue recording for the rest of that day. Waters and Gilmour reportedly broke down into tears.

* CriticalDissonance: One of the band's most popular albums, but critics at the time trashed it. ''Magazine/RollingStone'' called it the worst album of 1975. On the other hand, Robert Christgau, who has gone on record as hating ProgressiveRock, gave the album an "A-".
* HarsherInHindsight: The line "By the way, which one's Pink?" was a lot less funny when in the 1980s there was a huge legal fight over who got to own the Pink Floyd brand between Music/RogerWaters and the others.

* JustHereForGodzilla: Both sections of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" may be enticing to fans of ''[[Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable Diamond is Unbreakable]]'' just for their namesake alone.
* RetroactiveRecognition: Future Music/ThrobbingGristle member Peter Christopherson worked at Creator/{{Hipgnosis}} and helped design the album cover.

** In regards to the music, arguably all of the tracks are this. Being an album about how terrible the music industry is and how it destroyed their friend, it doesn't make it a happy story. Special mention to the title track. While David and Roger said it really ''isn't'' about Syd, the general perspective of them missing their friend, physically and mentally (seeing as Syd became less of his witty and weird self into an EmptyShell) comes off as this. Even David would admit that when performing the song, he always thinks of Syd.
* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: "Welcome to the Machine" mentions steak bars, which were trendy in the U.K. in the mid-1970s.
* VindicatedByHistory: ''Rolling Stone'' named the album one of the 500 greatest of all time nearly 30 years after their initial scathing review; it's one of the band's most critically lauded in retrospect.
