I also have a few on individual CDs. I've heard them all. I admit that <i>Animals</i> is rather far down on my list. I'll give it another spin. (Jethro Tull's <i>Stormwatch</i> was also once way down on my list, but I started liking it after hearing it a few times.) I think that one reason are the explicitly political lyrics. Not that a disagree with the sentiment; the question is what is good for a lyric.Phillip Helbighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12067585245603436809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7621501513493185029.post-79860669619069859972011-10-31T20:34:25.632-04:002011-10-31T20:34:25.632-04:00I have to agree.
