Your favourite socially conscious albums?
Marvin Gaye: What's Going On
Sly and the Family Stone: There's a Riot Goin' On
Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814
Stevie Wonder: Song's in the Key of Life
I'm investigating language change throughout time via socially conscious music as part of my coursework. I'd greatly appreciate your favourties, particulary in more-recent history.

It wasn't the spelling (that's trivial).
How about, a socially conscious song/album within the last 2 decades? | |

but here are a few of my favorites from the 60's to the present. not including one's that have already been said ALA Marvin, Stevie, Curtis
Btw... i never got why RN1814 was regarded as a social album
Livin In A World they didn't make was good... but some of the other lyrics on ther elike... there's people who don't have enough to eay
Idk, the couple ''social'' type lyrics just seemed to be kind of out of place to me on the album.. like it was trying a little to hard to invoke a line or 2 of politcal means. Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

In my opinion, it should be required listening in every music appreciation and history class. "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" |
