What sweetcharmedlife and Zack and Mojoman said.
Animals is one of my favorite albums of all time. And just out of curiosity, I listened to some arbitrary Pink Floyd albums today, and I found out that I really like them. Those were Atom Heart Mother, Ummagumma and The Lost Cut. They're not masterpieces, but they're very carefully produced, interestingly packaged, that I don't care about the bombast. They are wonderful as sonic background, with some moments of beauty. And Animals IS one of the best rock albums ever made. As a concept it's pure and as music it has "Dogs", amongst other three or four tracks.
Of course they are not perfect. Sometimes, during Atom Heart Mother, I was wishing to shut the thing off and put on some Ramones. But patience has its virtues. And I like cows and breakfasts a lot.
Well, to each its own. For instance, I'm still not a Hendrix fan, although I know he was a very important thing in rock history. Likewise, I can use any U2 Cd as a coaster; and I only "like" Nirvana (or any other humorless, but talented, stuff) in small dosis. But that doesn't mean that I'm right; it's one of those "taste" issues.
