Here is the round we've all been waiting for. Such an awesome album. One of the very few albums that has lived up to standards (for me anyway).

Pigs on the Wing 1, simply because Pigs on the Wing 2 has better lyrics.

And there's nothing wrong with them as songs, either. I think they're great songs.

Dogs for the win. Without a doubt.

Sheep






































jk...

this is hard

 

[liamcool]

Pigs II, because Pigs I means there's 40 minutes of bliss to come.

Ideally, we should tie them this round.

 

[Axver]

I agree with this entirely.

Pigs II = oh, it's the end of the album already.
Pigs I = here comes Animals!

Pigs I

 

[phanan]

Voting for Pigs 2 because it will tie things up at 5-5.

 

[cdisantis83]

Voting for Pigs 2 because it will tie things up at 5-5.

I will go Pigs 1 for the same reason.

 

[SeattleVertigo]

Pigs on the Wing 2.

But I would like to say that there's nothing I would change about Pigs 1 or Pigs 2 -- they're just perfect.

 

[phanan]

Ok, who the hell voted for Sheep?

Someone is playing with us...

 

[SeattleVertigo]

I didn't vote for Sheep, but I think it'll be the first of the big three that I vote for.

I'm torn between Dogs and Pigs (Three Different Ones) for the win.

[Lancemc]

Dogs.

Long, overblown and 2/3 uninteresting. Sheep and Pigs kick some major ass though, and Pigs on the Wing is gorgeous.

 

[Screwtape2]

Pigs On The Wing Part 2. When you first play Animals, those first strums on POTW Part 1 set you up for a truly magical experience.

 

[DaveC]

I voted this morning, pretty sure I voted for Part II.

[GibsonGirl]

Pigs On The Wing, Part 1. I love it to bits, along with Part 2. They're absolutely gorgeous songs. But the optimism in Part 2 gives it a slight edge for me.

 

[Zoots]

I voted for Pigs (Three Different Ones). I think it drags on a bit and I like all the other songs more.

 

[Axver]

How on earth are there five votes not for Pigs On The Wing?

Or... people have different opinions and wish to express them instead of getting browbeaten by the majority that thinks it's right.

But Zoots...Pigs! Those lyrics! That keyboard riff! That outro! That bass line!

 

[Zoots]

You know, we seem to easily forget one thing in these kind of poll threads. Just because a song gets a vote doesn't mean it's automatically hated by everyone that voted for it. The levels of appreciation among voters may be very different. Some may hate it. Some may like it or even love it but just not as much as the other songs. As for me, I love Pigs but not as much as the others. Hope that's clear enough.

Pfft. Put that straitjacket back on and return to your padded cell immediately! *browbeats you*

Zoots, I'm sure we're all just kidding with you.

As long as Sheep wins this round, I'm all good.

Let Down?
