 Topic: Dogs, Pigs, or Sheep?

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.

Dogs ... this haunting part ... pushes it above Pigs for me ...
And you believe at heart, everyone's a killer.
Who was born in a house full of pain
Who was trained not to spit in the fan
Who was told what to do by the man
Who was broken by trained personnel
Who was fitted with collar and chain
Who was given a pat on the back
Who was breaking away from the pack
Who was only a stranger at home
Who was ground down in the end
Who was found dead on the phone
Who was dragged down by the stone.

"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."

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.

Hard to say...
Dogs is so structured and melodic...
Pigs guitar pig effect are incredible
Sheep -> Keyboard is amazing , this song is kind of violent :O
And don't really have any favourite, these 3 songs are so terrific.

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)

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.

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

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

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.

"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.

DOGS
dave's guitar solo on this song brings tears to my eyes one of his best solo ever. too bad he does not like much this album. and it very hard to have a good copy of this song played live by Mr. Gilmour
I love this album it my all time Pink FLoyd fav. scene i was 15 years old!!!

Yeah dogs solos are brilliant ...
One solo crying , one laughing , one desesperate , and one screaming ..
Only gilmour could share these emotions with his guitar

Dogs. And, out of those three animals which one would you consider yourself?... I know for sure I'm a dog.
