Both respective albums are our personal favourites but the difference is that it doesn't bother me in the slightest that you are not a huge Animals fan, it's all about opinions and I respect yours and have not started a debate about your dislike of the album.

The simple fact is that I have known that album (DSOTM) for 20 years now and it doesn't stimulate me anymore. I rarely play it. Doesn't mean that I think it's awful. I just rarely listen to it and prefer other albums.

Actually Animals has grown on me a lot, though I never disliked it at any point in time. It's indeed a great album.

I rank the work of Floyd like so.

Top tier/genius:
DSOTM
WYWH
Meddle
The Wall
Piper
Animals

High tier/very good:
Obscured by Clouds
Saucerful of Secrets
Division Bell

Mid tier/decent, some moments of glory:
More
Atom Heart Mother
Momentary Lapse of Reason

Low tier/meh:
The Final Cut

Bottom tier/terrible:
Ummagumma (studio half)
