Can't say that I hate it! I don't think there is any Floyd song I hate!

What, not The Grand Vizier's Garden Party, or even Take Up Thy Stethoscope and Walk? If you can honestly say that you can extract any sort of enjoyment from those songs, I can no longer take you seriously.

Even I don't like some Floydian songs, I don't agree with you. Tastes differ.

AWW MAN! i like TUTSAW!

as for money, i think the studio version is my least favorite floyd song that i've heard so far. but i have an acoustic version (Deo Version, 1972) from the RoIO "Pinkie Milkie" which is QUITE a good recording.

Bring The Boys Back Home would be another one to go along with those

Money is an excellent song no matter what anybody says, it has one of the best saxophone solos ever, a great change of the tempo and an awesome guitar so it is an excellent song itself indeed.
The fact that (real) fans dont like it being commercialized is due to the radio not playin the instrumental part of the song sometimes, so they kind of take the escence of the song. I personally dont think the lyrics are the highlight in this excellent piece of MUSIC.
Money is the Floyd song i've heard the most I think, and I still cant listen to it without gettin a bit thrilled when the saxophone finishes the solo and the guitar comes in, it rocks, definitely :D

the reason it is hated is due to the music industry and radio

its the same concept as FREE BIRD BY LYNYRD SKYNYRD, its played so fking much on the radio that you have no other options except to hate it, the over exposure ruins it. imagine if it never had radio play then maybe you might like it... that's just my opinion. i'm glad the radios chose money over time because time is a song that means more to me than any other song, pink floyd or not

Quote:it has one of the best saxophone solos ever

I agree with this. Saxophone solo is great! But it's only thing I like in this song...

Set within the context of the album, it`s perfect. Only when wrenched out of this context as a stand-alone entity can it appear trite.
Ditto ABITW (Pt.2).
