"Animals" is a great album that doesnt get the credit it deserves. This song is about the people in society who Roger considers "Pigs". The ones who control others but don't know as much as they let on. Cool song. Actually ehard it on the radio one time. Rare for an 11 minute song.
comon guys, you all must be like...young, I remember whne this came out, roger did an interview, it's watergate folks, these pigs are john erlichman, martha mitchell and richard nixon, the whole album is about watergate, dark side is about what goes on inside your mind, wish you were here is about the recording industry, the wall is the slow deterioiation of sid barrett, and the final cut is what is inside rogers mind.
just check old interviews. and listen to the music!!

Wish You Were Here (the song) is about Sid Barrett, as is Shine on You Crazy Diamond, so I don't know if you can say one album is specific to one idea or criticism. It's like....music man.

@micha2l58 I believe you are incorrect on some of your information. Dark Side of the Moon is about the things in modern society that can drive people towards lunacy. Wish You Were Here is about the recording industry, but I feel that the more important message WYWH was saying was directed towards Syd. It was about how the industry can really cut you up, and leave you like Syd. The Wall has very very little to do with Syd, it's about Rogers detachments he felt towards his fans and was a bit of an autobiography, though not as much as...

The Final cut is basically Roger's political views and his own feelings.
Also, don't discriminate towards the young, I'm 15 and appear to have more knowledge about this subject than you.
Sorry Mischa3158, the "Whitehouse" referred to was Mary Whitehouse. She was a constant moral critic in Britain and was constantly calling for the banning of tv shows, movies and music. She was the force behind NVALA, a rating system somewhat similar to the MPAA but much more moralistic and polemic.

She managed to get Alice Cooper banned from TOTP, went after the producers of Dr. Who etc. etc...
