Dark Side of the Moon is definitely political, if you want to set a cutoff. Also the first he had a lot of writing credit for, as I understand it. I'm not prepared to argue for earlier than that.
But even Animals, in 1977, is 40+ years before people started complaining about him being too political. It's a ridiculous claim that deserves no serious consideration.
The problem isn't that he's political. The problem is he has kid rock's level of insight. His takes are absurdly dumb and he bloviates about them at length any time he's in front of a microphone. He believes the UK shouldn't have entered WW2 for God's sake. He's a blowhard and a moron, and he's really dialed it up the last few years.
“Why’d you leave the keys up on the table?”
Because I don't trust in my self-righteous suicide. Otherwise I'd have put them in the fridge like usual.
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR!!??
WHY DON’T PRESIDENTS FIGHT THE WAR!!??
This really spoke to me, as a poor 12 year old ineligible for the draft
It really spoke to me as someone who joined the USMC in 2003 and got shot at in Anbar
I was 17 when their first album came out... Now I feel old lol
Oww,my back.
Hah "I take bad care of my mortal coil!"
As I lie here with my back problems. I concur!
That first album snagged me hard. I think I still owe Columbia house $16 for it lmao
I don't think I ever actually paid Columbia House anything but they just kept sending me more CDs lol
I mean, I already felt old, but I was 16 the first time I saw them and their first album didn't come out until like 2 months later.
Also, my kids have both been listening to System (involuntarily) since birth.
I wasn’t even born when their first album came out 🤯
Eat your vegetables
And you never will if you keep that kind of loser attitude
I was 23. Just a young fella over there. Probably haven't even broken a hip yet.
lol
You, what did you make, a meme?
How do you make disorder... disorder
When you turn 12 and promptly WAKE UP.
It was Rush for me, but yes.
Also Yes.
Same and same. Then system. Then primus
There's trouble in the forest...
At least Peart came out as a "bleeding heart" Libertarian in the end.

And then you start to go through your dad's old record collection, and realize "damn, the old man was on to something"
Except now he's properly foxnews brainwormed and is mad at Roger Waters for getting all political at his shows
Tbf Roger Waters is the most hamfisted and annoying of the politically involved musicians
Point is, he's always been political
If "not until Animals, their 10th album", counts as "always" then yeah sure

Alright cool, whatever. That's a different conversation. Have a nice day
Hey, I take exception to that. I was in fact thirteen when I discovered them.
