I love The Animals. If Eric Burdon could write songs, they would have been an amazing band. Burdon wrote a couple good songs like Sky Pilot, but for the most part the Animals only played cover songs. Still, even with virtually no songwriting talent, The Animals were very good. They were around for a really short time too, which also hurt them. In my mind, if Burdon could write songs and they stayed together longer, they could have been like the Doors or The Rolling Stones. Alan Price was a really great organist and The Animals were very talented. House of the Rising Sun is an amazing song, I set my alarm to wake up to that song every single morning. Bring It On Home To Me is another one of my favorites. Great band.
