July 23, 20251 yr I only have the Best Of Pink Floyd double CD and The Division Bell but I've listened to some of their other albums on Spotify a few times including Animals. I've just had another listen now and would put 'Sheep' forward as being the best track with 'Dogs' in second place and 'Pigs' third. Overall, it's a good album with the guitar playing standing out. For 70s prog rock, I've always much preferred Genesis and Yes and have never really fully embraced the music of Pink Floyd. Maybe it's because the other two groups use keyboard sounds to a much greater extent rather than relying mainly on guitars for the instrumentation and also their lead singers are better vocalists.
July 23, 20251 yr Animals is the oft overlooked gem of their 70s output. Not as instant as Dark Side of the Moon or Wish You Were Here and not as personal or 'close to a solo album' as The Wall. It's Floyd's last true co-operative effort between all the members, even if Roger took the lead, and Gilmour has said he thinks the album contains his best guitar work.The album rewards repeated listening more than anything of their others, from that era.

It also helped the score. Edited July 23, 20251 yr by Mellope
