Episode 34: 'Animals' with Franck Carducci

Season 3 of 'My Classic Album' starts with a bang as French prog
rock artist Franck Carducci joins Mike to look back at Pink
Floyd's politically charged 'Animals'.


Franck was struck by the iconic album cover as a teenager before
falling in love with arguably the heaviest album in the Pink
Floyd canon. Loosely based on George Orwell's 'Animal Farm', the
band led by Roger Waters attacked the British establishment
through the metaphorical Dogs, Pigs and Sheep immortalised across
the sprawling epics featured on 'Animals'.


 


Over 40 years on, does the album reflect society stronger than it
did in 1977?


Is David Gilmour's guitar work on 'Dogs' his finest hour?


What happened to the inflatable pig who adorned the album cover?


 


All these questions and more answered on a brand new 'My Classic
Album'. 


PLUS: Mike shares a fantastic track from Franck's latest album
'The Answer'.
