In my opinion, probably one of the most terrible Pink Floyd songs ever, and a huge wrench in the gearbox of Dark side of the Moon.

Don't listen to a huge amount of Pink Floyd but I play this song often.

I would have to say either "Not Now John" or "Another Brick in the Wall". Although, I also quite like the song "Is There Anybody Out There"

"Another Brick..." is the standard to me, but I really love "Pigs"

I agree, although it's really hard to judge Animals on a song by song basis. As an album it really is one of the most coherent "whole" pieces of contemporary music.

Yes, it flows together so well..."Pigs" is the first track I heard off that album, so that's what got me into it, and it's got one of my favorite hooks of all time.

Dark Side of the Moon is the ONLY complete album that I've heard that I consider 5 stars, every song.

I dig a lot of albums but every other album has at least 1 weak link in it (usually more than 1). Dark Side, however, is a complete masterpiece. Amazing; I can't stand to listen to just one song in it, i want to hear it in entirety.

The one song, on this PF album in particular, that stands out is Money. I love the message about capitalism and money in general, I love the early use of samples, I love the overlapping rhythms in the intro, it's just a great track and works well by itself.

Of course, it doesn't hurt Money that it is immediately followed up by Us and Them... but that's a whole 'nother lengthy post!

Despite my love for many other tracks I do find this an almost perfect encapsulation of their post Syd Era:

anyone heard the madcap laughs? that's what happens when you have an acid breakdown, folks.

that being said, it actually is a great piece of music with some very interesting songs. the fact that syd changes chords, keys, and timings sometimes multiple times in a song and it still sounds like a coherent piece of music is truly astounding.
