TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE

On this day in 1977, the Pink Floyd LP “Animals” debuted on the UK Albums Chart at #2 (February 19)

Pink Floyd’s tenth studio album, “Animals” is a concept album loosely based on George Orwell's political fable Animal Farm, that focuses on the sociopolitical conditions of mid-1970s Britain, and is considered by many to be one of Pink Floyd's best works.

With the exception of "Dogs" (co-written by guitarist David Gilmour), the tracks were written by bass player, Roger Waters.

“Animals” was the first Pink Floyd album not to contain a composer's credit for keyboard player Richard Wright, who ended up leaving the band two years after the album's release.

Referring to his contribution to “Animals”, Wright said:

“I played well but did not contribute to the writing and also Roger was not letting me write.
This was the whole start of the whole ego thing in the band…”

NME called Animals "one of the most extreme, relentless, harrowing and downright iconoclastic hunks of music to have been made available this side of the sun".

On the charts “Animals went all the way to #1 in Spain, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, #2 in the UK, Norway and Austria, #3 in the US, Australia, and Sweden, and #12 in Canada.
