What album about life and society do like most?

Dark Side of the Moon, Animals or The Wall?

I think all three of them are views of life and society from just different scopes. Empathy, the elements that drive people to being whatever they become and just life in general(Dark Side), the types of characters that make up society(Animals) and the mental aspect of an individual, disconnectedness of society and a portrayal of the result of what was presented in DSotM and Animals(The Wall), but more of an "Anti-DSotM".

My favorite is definately The Wall. I could relate to the theme of isolation and the negative effects of it

Although it has some good songs and stuff on it, i must say i DSotM is not my fav., but instead the wall or animals, i cant choose. I like the musc of animals a lot, and the Movie and songs of the wall are just classic. If I had to say right now, i would choose the wall

Man, that's a toughy. I think I'm going to go with...oh hell, I can't decide. I'll be back if I come to a verdict.

On a side note: Outside of Floyd, "Thick As A Brick" is my favorite social commentary.

I love all 3 of them, but the one I feel more connected with must defintely be Animals. It's not just about the themes and the way they are dealt with, 'cause that would make DSOTM and The Wall just as good... it's something that has got to do with the overall felling of the record, its cover art, the sound... oh, and that crazy cowbell on Pigs (TDO)!!!

I've got to say the Wall I can totally connect with everything in that album and I know what it feels like to just lock all your feelings inside. Second is DSOTM and right behind is Animals

The Wall is like a different story everytime I watch it/listen to it because I look at it with a different experience, aspect and viewpoint on mental suffering than I did last time.

I'm listening to ANIMALS now (as per usual) - the social commentary is sooo perfect.
