 i absolutely adore this album, in fact it is n my favourite by PF. I'm going for pigs (three different ones) its an amazing song...

dogs is fantastic and so is sheep...i cant get enough of those three songs

not really keen on pigs on the wing 1 & 2 but they complement the album as a whole.

all that dies dies for a reason, to make its way into the season

Dogs.  Waters's best lyrics ever, and it has the Floyd's signature "hypnotic pulse" feel to it.

Dogs, but Pigs comes in a close second

While I love Dogs and Pigs, I would say the evil, maniacal, and very sinister Sheep wins out.

I love the whole album, but Dogs is my favorite on the album and probably second only to Echoes on my list of favorite Floyd songs.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

even better question,

Which one do you think represents prog rock the best?

I say Dogs, for it's leangth, musicainship, lyrics, unpredictability, feeling, and perfect synthesizer use.

I find Pigs (three different ones) the most engaging, not least due to the vocal delivery by Mr. Waters. I particularly love the rhythm of his singing, a wonderful example on how the lyrics are able to gain an extra edge via the music.

As for Dogs, the long instrumental break tends to drag a bit for me and I'm not quite as attached to *that* solo as many people seem to be. Nevertheless, a great track for the most part and yes, the lyrics are once again masterful.

Sheep took the longest to grow on me but now I think of it as my second favourite track on Animals. The intensity of the music is palpable but in a fairly non-direct, understated way. Very inventive sound-scapes, too, and they work as an integral part of the composition. Gilmour shines but then he shines a lot on this album...

I was made to love magic

God, stop asking questions like that, it's impossible to answer them.

The most I am able to think of is that Pigs is the one I like less. But I still like it immensely.

My three favorite Floyd songs, anyway. And some of the favorites in general.

DOGS.

But Sheep is a close contender for #1, too.

They are all superb tracks, but "Dogs" PWNS "Sheep" and "Pigs"
And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.
