 Topic: Pink Floyd's: Animals vs Wish You Were Here

Animals vs the Wall was too easy. Let's make it a little bit harder. Animals vs. Wish You Were Here, which do you prefer?

This one is pretty close, but I have to give it to Wish You Were Here.

The majority of WYWH is near unlistenable to me, while Animals is one of their best albums and is consistent from start to finish. No contest.

I like WYWH more than Wall but not quite as much as Animals.

Still Animals for me. Wish You Were Here is certainly better than The Wall, but only because of Shine On as far as I'm concerned. The other three tracks put me to sleep.

I'm not a Pink Floyd fan, but I like very much some of their albuns - "Meddle", "Dark Side of the Moon" and even "Animals". But, I think which "Wish you where Here" is fairly superior in relation to "Animals" !

Not that I dislike Animals, on the contrary, it's really good, but Wish You Were Here Is simply a better album. Animals is too short an album. They needed to add one more animal to the bunch.

Which one though? Rats were done by the Stranglers, Mice had Jethro Tull and Genesis. Budgies... no... not Budgies. Cats? Mmmmm. No. Voted for Animals just to even the score. I have no idea which is more preferred as both albums achieve different ideas and both highly successfully. Would not be without either. Or any Floyd album.

I rather like Wish.
Animals short? It's pretty standard length, No?

Vultures. Or Lemmings. I'm pretty sure Roger could have written some good lyrics about either of those animals.
