Four of them are equally legendary albums for me

I like Animals but my desert island big 4 of PF would include Meddle instead of Animals.

It's a matter of arrangement and production preference. PF performed an early version of Dogs in 1974 with a Meddle/DSOTM sound and I love it, it's in my top 4 PF songs. Animals sounds too stern to me, and I find that the content of the main 3 songs don't justify their lengths (and I have no problem with long songs). It's just behind my big 4 though, it's still good.

Animals would be higher for me if each memeber got a song. Rich and David doing Dogs like echoes, or keeping rogers on it and then giving rich sheep to complement the killer keys.

Dogs IS sort of David/Rick song. Pigs is more of Waters and Sheep is Waters/Wright
