New_World_Man Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Dogs but mainly for the trippy and mesmerizing middle section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexMike Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 1. Sheep. 2. Dogs. 3. Pigs. But all 3 are great and the album overall is their 2nd best IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Dad Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 You Gotta Be Crazy from '75. The '74 version is ok but it's just played too fast. The song became Dogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New_World_Man Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 1. Dogs2. Sheep3. Pigs Easily my favorite Pink Floyd album, love every second of it. No offense but I don't see how anyone can like this album better than Wish you were Here. WYWH has a much better keyboard presence because on Animals Roger Waters was trying to diminish Rick WRight's role in the band. That's why the keyboards aren't as prominent as they were on WYWH(with the exception being the middle part of Dogs of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The title track is blah. "Have a Cigar" is mediocre and overplayed. And "Welcome to the Machine" simply grates. But "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is sublime. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animals is great from start to finish, including the keys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djflex Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I voted sheep. However , this album is def one that must be listened to all the way through. The tracks flow , so in a sense they are all my favorites 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree with this more, Shine of you Crazy Diamond is the only great song on that album tbh, that song is one of their best. But all of Animals is amazing, even Pigs on the Wing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'll have to give it another spin (still have only listened to it 3 or 4 times) before I decide. Whichever one showcases the most of Wright is what will most likely be my answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driventotheedge Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) I'll have to give it another spin (still have only listened to it 3 or 4 times) before I decide. Whichever one showcases the most of Wright is what will most likely be my answer. IMO, you'll likely vote Sheep then. Went with Pigs Every song on that album is beyond awesome though This. The solo at the end of Pigs is why I voted for it, but the whole album is utter and complete brilliance.

Xanadu Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Pigs (Three Different Ones) "You f**ked up old hag. Haha, charade you are." Yep, that's my favorite. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexMike Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Sounds like most of us that love the album are in agreement that a huge reason why is that Gilmour really got to rock out more than the typical Floyd record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Dogs. The whole album is great though. I never had a clue what they were thinking while writing it or what they were trying to accomplish with the album but the end result is f'n brilliant.

ReRushed Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I read that Gilmour wasn't in favor of the material and concept for Wish You Were Here and wanted the album to contain "Raving and Drooling", "You Gotta Be Crazy" and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". He was out voted! I read it in the book Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey and wikipedia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 During PF's '74-75 tour they played a song called Raving and Drooling. Sound familiar ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
