"Sheep", although "Pigs" is excellent too. "Dogs" I find very boring - is has
that relaxed, lazy quality that typified so much of Floyd's music and
prevents them from ever being a favourite band with me.

That's it!!CATS!!!
Funny thing that Sheep doesn't get too much credit,it is not only the best of Animals,but one of Floyd's best.

Dogs, 9/10, the others 8/10. Probably the most consistently good album of PF, although not my favourite.

Dogs, because more consistent, although guitar solo in Pigs (Three Different Ones) rocks!!

They are all great songs, but Sheep for me..the way the track starts
with Rick Wright softly lulling you into a false sense of
security..then Water's rumbling bass suggesting menace..great! And
Gilmour's final riff seeing out the track is the business.

I agree completely!
Plus the lyrics to Dogs are absolutely outstanding, and they stick to your mind the first time you hear it!
Musically, however, my favourite is Sheep...that haunting bass line, that wonderful keyboard and the variety of styles...(the beggining sets a different mood from the verse section, and they both differ from the rocking finale)

Yeah I do agree with that, "Who was born in a house full of pain" such a powerfull feeling comes over you when you hear it.

"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”
"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."

Out of the three full length songs on Pink Floyd's Animals (Dogs, Pigs, or Sheep), which is your favorite? As much as I like Dogs and Sheep, Pigs(Three Different Ones) is my favorite, Pigs on the Wings is great too.
