I am a fan of all the albums. I cant think of which order I would buy them, but I have had the time to buy the majority of them as they were released lol.. I remember listening to DSOTM on an 8 track.. A new one at that . Anyways, I think TFC kind of builds on the other albums ( to me relates to The Wall ) and it is an essential part of the collection. Though a lot of it sounds may not appeal to most, I love every song on it. However put up against Animals they are really 2 different albums. I remember seeing Dogs played live way back umm in the early 80's (I think) at a Roger Waters concert.. I was an experience I will never forget.
