FEATURED CD: Pink Floyd - Animals

[Blah_Blah_Woof_Woof]

Liked the material on tour before release. The record was a bummer. The show in Oakland from the third row was overwhelming!

1. I agree with most of that review in the opening post
2. I don't understand how so many responders here have quoted animals as their fav PF album
3. Those doing so, have you not heard Piper, Saucerful, Meddle, AHM, Ummagumma, DSOTM, More, Obscured by Clouds, WYWH?
4. I've never liked Animals, definitely my least favourite PF album, closely followed by The Wall.

I have Dark side of the moon, Wish you were here and Animals and still Animals is my favorite. Sorry to disappoint you.
You never hear anything from it on the radio.

Good album. Sheep is my favorite track.

Mine too. So much that i convinced my band Anubis Gate to record a cover of it (which will be released soon)

There’s an article in Prog magazine about Richard Wright that says his opening bluesy keyboard noodling at the beginning of “Sheep” is a play on “Old McDonald’s Farm.” I can’t hear it, and never recognized that in there. Do you hear it?

I guess it could be but it is not something that has ever occurred to me. Unless Wright or someone else in the band has come out directly and said that it's based on Old McDonald then I'm assuming it's the journo's opinion.
