LOL   And then, even it is about an "old pig", I think that the social content of this song is intended to be much more than just that.

I could vote for most of those David if it came down to tracks I like, but being as you are asking for their  'Socially engaged' credentials, I have gone for Aqualung, which I have always found particularly affecting in this regard..

These are some more of the songs which for the largest part have been mentioned in the Political Prog thread, and still, you can vote 
for as many as you wish (multiple votes allowed).


Here's the previous poll if it still should have some interest: Thinking politically / socially-engaged songs (2) 

Enjoy!  Tongue
