Dogs takes the prize for me, and "Animals" also wins the prize the for best album. I love the format with the bookends of "Pigs on the Wing," and then the other three in the middle. Fantastic all the way around.

Absolutely. I actually pointed out in another thread the concepts of Pigs on the Wing I & II being bookends for the whole album. Another way of looking at it is prologue and epilogue, but It's great that you articulated it in the same way. Animals is easily my favorite Pink Floyd album, with Dogs being my favorite song from the album as well.

The concept is very well constructed on Animals. It's kind of a cycle beginning and ending with Pigs on the Wing, which provides a nice sense of closure with the album.

I would think that would almost ruin the album for me


Some other of my tops for Pink Floyd are:

shine on You Crazy Diamond
Breath (yes, I actually think the understated guitar work by Gilmour is amazing on this song)
Astronomie Dominae
fearless
One of These Days

Thanks!

And, to the point that the two "Pigs on the Wing" songs were back to back on the cassette version sounds like a very odd pressing. Were all the cassette versions indexed like that?

It's one thing to listen to the CD on repeat (which I have done many times), so the re-start of the album begins in the same way that it ended. But, to have them both back to back on side-1 of a cassette tape, seems very strange.

^^it's a local (Malaysian) pressing, indexed like that to preserve continuity, cos there'd be lengthy space at the end of side 2 if not

not sure about US or UK pressings
