I've always loved the ending of Dogs. So epic. Although, and this is a fail on my part, I always thought it was Gilmour singing it.

It's a really subtle and very well done changeover of vocalists - on the studio version, everything before the synth break is Gilmour and everything after is Waters, whereas live Waters only sang the final verse.
(The Wikipedia article goes into an almost obsessive level of detail about how that song was put together. It's neat.)
I've come across the remasters on Spotify and listening to other tracks now, like Raving & Drooling and You Gotta Be Crazy, which turned into Sheep and Dogs respectively. They're both great but did improve when finally released, in particular lyrically. Also Dogs doesn't feature Gilmour rapping, which is a positive.
Sorry, Gilmour rapping? Hahaha, fuck. Now I have to go and check out those remasters!
Also, the ending to Sheep contrasts from Dogs in such an effective manner - it's such an obvious, cliche guitar line, but it works so well in the context of that song. Triumphant in the best way.
(...even though it's lyrically just as bleak as Dogs or Pigs.)
