Pigs On The Wing
I picked up the Pink Floyd ablum Animals. What an amazing album. Nobody makes that kind of music anymore. The idea of a concept album is essentially dead, its too bad.
From what I've read about it and what I've interpreted I think this album compares various animals (Dogs, Pigs and Sheep) to different human behaviors in society. The dogs are greedy and money-centred, the Pigs are self-centred, ignorant and arrogant people who over indulge in society, finally the Sheep are the ignorant, passive and uninterested followers.
Yet another masterpiece to add to my Floyd collection.
