I feel like money is Pink Floyd's feeblest attempt at commercial music.

although i love it lyrically but non-fans have made it too popular for its own good.

if you understand where i am coming from?

I always think it's strange how fans of any band don't like it when their favorite group's music becomes known and liked by others. I think their is a bit of a "it's especially cool because it's not mainstream" and when the band actually has a huge hit then suddenly those fans dub them "sell-outs".

I teach high school and I see these kids go through this all the time. When I was still in high school I remember Metallica's Black Album becoming really popular and the rocker kids suddenly feeling betrayed.

You have to realize that EVERY rock group's original goal was to make a buck along the way. (Even Roger Points that out in the DSOTM documentary). Money did become popular, but isn't that what they want to happen? geez.

yeah man.
thats like if I hated my sister, and she stared to like floyd and because of this I burned all my CDs.

All i'm going to say is I hate this attitude that anything successful is deliberately commercial and 'selling out'. Bollocks!

It's a great song and it totally rocks, but personally I'm tired of hearing it because I've listened to it so many times. But "hate" is a strong word. Angry

I personally love money.

Although, yes it does get more air time than some of the other Floyd songs that deserve it more - it's different, which I think is a good thing.

That way, when I get tired of listening to Echoes ( :O ), I don't have to put all of my PF records and cds away. I can just listen to some of the rockers like "Money", "The Nile Song" or "Gold, it's in the..."

To me, Money+The Nile Song : Pink Floyd :: Helter Skelter+Lady Madonna : The Beatles.

Money is the only song by Floyd that I don't care for. Never have.
