ANIMALS

I won't waste time going over extensive details as to why this album is the best Floyd album of all time. Basically it's the best because it's the album in their career where they just PLAY. They show us how good theey really are without "hiding" behind synthesizers and sound effects.

"Dogs" is a purely guitar drivern song. David Gilmour shows his virtuosity and prowess with brilliant riffs and solos. "Pigs (Three Different Ones)" has some of the most brilliant bass work I've ever heard in a song. This song alone solidifies Roger Waters as one of rock's greatest bassists. The brilliance in the bass line is not which notes he hits, but how he hits them, and how they change ever so slighty as the song goes on. "Sheep" with it's strumming opening bass and Rick Wright's playful keyboard intro, is a song where the whole band is showcased.

I can't really explain how good this album is in words. You have to listen to it several times and you'll realize yourself that THIS, not "The Dark Side of the Moon", not "Wish You Were Here", not "The Wall", is the best album in the Pink Floyd discography.
