Pink Floyd famously tore down a brick wall, but they were brilliant builders.
Per the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, they were the "architects of two major music movements — psychedelic space-rock and blues-based progressive rock." The band's otherworldly albums explored the dark side of the Moon and the dark side of mankind.
And their 1977 album Animals showed humanity in a scathing light.
Described by Guitar World as a "bitter masterpiece," Animals was a musical skewering of British society that used pigs, dogs, and sheep to represent detested political figures, insidious businessmen, and the ill-fated complacency of the masses.
In addition to being an iconic work, it led to an epic sequence in which a floating pig sowed havoc across London's skies.
