I recently bought this album as I only recently started getting into Floyd and save for the outlining tracks Pigs on the Wing 1 + 2, I can't decide which is better as I love all the remaining middle tracks. But to avoid people saying "Where are the first and last tracks?" I included them for kicks. So now I wish to know of you, which is your personal fave? I'll join in later once I decide!!!  ------------- My entertainment dollar is burning in my pocket! |

| I have to go with Dogs, the guitar is fantastic. I still listen to Animals a few times a month - to me, it represents the peak of PF (Dogs and Sheep were written in 1975, and played live during the Wish You Were Here tour). |

I've already seen this poll at least twice, but I guess voting once more won't hurt me. I like Pigs (Three Different Ones) best. It has a great melody and mentions Margaret Thatcher (even though it says mean things about her)

| I think Dogs (and i vote it), but Pigs on the wing 1&2 are cool!!! This is one of PF's worst, in my opinion... |

If someone was to ask me, what is my best album, this would be it. Althouth DSOTM I think is the more landmark album that set me on the course of prog indulgence, this still remains on top! As for the best track - Sheep. So bitter, so brilliant. But arent they all??

I chose Dogs,( Great lyrics. Great Gimour solo) but credit must be due to Pigs. I still dig that gritty vibe, ------------- And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father. Phillipians 2:11 |

| This was a little harder than I thought, but I voted "Dogs", because of ...well...it's awesomeness. hahahaha. I actually like that album a great deal. I like all the tracks on it, but I think "Dogs" is the one that I've often stopped and started from the beginning again because of parts that are just stunningly beautiful. |

| Animals is one of my PF favourites with The Wall and WYWH. Is one of those albums that you canīt skip a track (yeah, even the 2 Pigs On The Wing). I Love the whole album, but after thinking it twice, i voted Dogs |

OK, I managed to decide after a couple listens on the old CD player... So as much as I love the sheer brilliance of Dogs and the excellent guitar work on Pigs AND the twistedness of Sheep I like Pigs on the Wing... Just kidding, Sheep is the one that captured me the most for no other reason than... ...I'm not sure. I just love it. Oh, and to StyLaZyn if you're reading. I've been away for quite some time so didn't realise I was copying a recent poll. ------------- My entertainment dollar is burning in my pocket! |

| I get a chill in my spine when I hear some fast instrumental sections from "Sheep". "Dogs" don't do it for me. |
