Maybe is a stupid thread but I'm really curious. So animals and prog fans, here's the deal:
I want to make a list of albums and songs with the name of at least one animal in their title. Doesn't matter if the song IS about animals, is just about the titles.
I prefer to make a list of prog songs and albums which mention one or more animals on the titles but if you want to add some song or album of any other genre there's no problem!
So, let's make a database about music and animals (it could be very funny)
I start with a list of songs and albums that I got close to me... If you want you can copy these list paste it on your post and add the songs and albums you want...
You can also add album/songs in other languages different of English but please translate the title!
Fantasy animales are welcome too (unicorns, dragons, etc)!!!

| You could divide Fish Rising further. There is a song on the album called Fish and another called The Salmon Song. |

I use Microsquash's latest media player with my whole collection on the computer in WMA format and did a search for Cat. I think I need to take a little break. But I'll be back.

^ Good point. Porcupine Tree would qualify as an animal band name. Unless there is such a tree called a Porcupine Tree. I just assumed that it was a tree where the porcupines hung out. -------------
