Get a good job with more pay and you're O.K.
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I'll buy me a football team
Money, get back
I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
I'm in the high-fidelity first-class traveling set
And I think I need a Learjet
Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today
But if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away
You have misunderstood the principle of the rating. You rate a song as it is/was - not because it might have been subsequently played to death or that the lead singer is a twat or that in the intervening years something might have become politically incorrect.
You should rate it on its original merits - melody, lyrics, great musicianship, originality etc.
You cannot demerit it because somebody plays it too much - that is.. as Mr Spock would say... "Illogical".
Says the rating police!! LOL. Rate it the way YOU want to and ignore this tool!
Gotta listen to this whole album. Just a perfect composition all around.
True. One of maybe a dozen or two albums that must be listened from beginning to end because they superbly tie into and connect with each other to create a single piece of art. And one of the very first album that we burned and bonded together, my now gone beloved brothers in arms.
Forty years later, my dad told me off for the same reason, paused, and we both laughed.
Actually this album was released in 1973!! Check WIKI or Google to verify. GREAT album!!!
Very few songs get a perfect score of 10 from me - but this one sure does!
RP need a 10+ buttom
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. Skipping with prejudice. I don't ever need to hear this song ever again, decided that years ago.
I felt that way in the late '70s, and '80s. Now, I enjoy hearing it again. I must be getting senile at 68yrs old. LOL!

Superscripts on the 2's would've really helped here. Also, it's been 23 years since I took a differential equations course.
Except that 'Money' is track 1 on side b
They censor that even now in this day and age? What kind of backwards ass town do you live in? Do they ban dancing too?
Best ever.
And nearly fifty-frikkin-years old.
However, I still rate it 10 and would rate it higher if allowed.
Take a break and come back. The song is still great.

I always thought this song was kind of gimmicky though, clichéd. I know: blasphemy.
Awesome...and I'm there with you, except I've listened to the full album dozens of dozens of times in the last 20 years....it still finds my soul and ears and I'm glad to hear parts of it here, on RP...Long Live RP and the greatest album EVER!!
And, I might add, thank goodness they did!
Just my two cents.
Because some people have no power in their life except by hating on things ...
Whole album in this case.
Posted it here. Then, saw that mine was not a unique comment. Not by a long shot.
go away
btw- did not hit that Powerball a couple of years ago so still plugging away trying to make some money.
Got way overplayed.
Still a great song.
Yup!!

Yes. And how can almost any song be a '1'? A '1' is extreme. A '1' is nails on a chalkboard.
It's kinda like at the hospital when they ask you your pain level on a 1-10 scale. Well, I would say a sharp stick in the eye is a 10, and base my answer on that.

I'm glad someone said it. I did the same.
39% of raters gave this a "Godlike" rating. That must be some kind of RP record!
The data speaks for itself.....
That's what I think every time I see yet another one of your whiny comments.
I never tire of this tune.

Like clouds, ship, city, euro and blue, money it's a hit.
It's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit
Amen-while there are some good but not great songs on this album,this is NOT one of them.Horrible geese strangling saxophone along with second rate cliched lyrics makes this both a terrible and terribly overrated song.Pink Floyd,along with Queen,Led Zeppelin,and the Doors have,in my opinion,the unenviable distinction of being the most legendarily overrated bands of all time.
One of the many reasons I have been here forever and appreciate RP for the giant radio station it is.
Best guitar solo. Ever.
Um no. "Intro / Sweet Jane" Lou Reed - Rock n Roll Animal (ok, technichally a 2 guitar jam)
Best guitar solo. Ever.
On 2 July 2005 Pink Floyd performed at the London Live 8 concert with Roger Waters rejoining David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright. It was the quartet's first performance together in over 24 years - the band's last show with Waters was at Earls Court in London on 17 June 1981.
Gilmour announced the Live 8 reunion on 12 June 2005:
" Like most people I want to do everything I can to persuade the G8 leaders to make huge commitments to the relief of poverty and increased aid to the third world. It's crazy that America gives such a paltry percentage of its GNP to the starving nations. Any squabbles Roger and the band have had in the past are so petty in this context, and if re-forming for this concert will help focus attention then it's got to be worthwhile. "
The band's set consisted of 1."Speak to Me/Breathe/Breathe (Reprise)", 2."Money", 3."Wish You Were Here", and 4."Comfortably Numb". As on the original recordings, Gilmour sang the lead vocals on "Breathe" and "Money", and shared them with Waters on "Comfortably Numb". For "Wish You Were Here", Waters sung half of the verse's lyrics, unlike the original recording. When Waters was not singing, he was often enthusiastically mouthing the lyrics off-microphone. During the guitar introduction of "Wish You Were Here", Waters said:
" It's actually quite emotional standing up here with these three guys after all these years. Standing to be counted with the rest of you. Anyway, we're doing this for everyone who's not here, but particularly, of course, for Syd. "
They were augmented by guitarist/bassist Tim Renwick (guitarist on Roger Waters' 1984 solo tour, who has since become Pink Floyd's backing guitarist on stage); keyboardist/lap steel guitarist/backup vocalist Jon Carin (Pink Floyd's backing keyboardist from 1987 onward who performed on the 1999-2000 North American leg of Waters' "In the Flesh" tour, his 2006-2008 "Dark Side of the Moon Live" tour and David Gilmour's 2006 On an Island tour); saxophonist Dick Parry during "Money" (who played on the original recordings of "Money", "Us and Them", and "Shine on You Crazy Diamond"); and backing singer Carol Kenyon during "Comfortably Numb". During "Breathe", on the screen behind them, film of the iconic pig from the Animals album was shown flying over Battersea Power Station (itself visible on the horizon in television broadcasts of the performance), and during "Money", a shot of The Dark Side of the Moon record being played was shown. During "Comfortably Numb", the three giant screens showed the Pink Floyd Wall (from the cover of The Wall), and during the final guitar solo, the words "Make Poverty History" were written on the wall.
At the end, after the last song had been played, Gilmour said "thank you very much, good night" and started to walk off the stage. Waters called him back, however, and the band shared a group hug that became one of the most famous pictures of Live 8. As they proceeded to walk off, Nick Mason threw his drumsticks into the audience. With Wright's subsequent death, in September 2008, this was to be the final concert to feature all four bandmates.

Gotta agree with Cirruss and RussNelson. It's a great tune, but way overplayed.
There's a groundswell here...A year without this song getting played is a bit long, but we're on the right track.
Now available in QUAD - check out the box set

That's a cool photo - but does he really need to wear a watch? Maybe it's an endorsement, or product placement, or something having to do with 'Money'. Maybe he just wants to keep track of the time.
Agreed. I'd like to have a year's moratorium on anybody playing it

WINNAR!!!!
I always looked at this song as a sign of things to come for Pink Floyd. The entire album was a shift from their old stuff, but especially this song with its pop flavor. I love the song, personally, and the album enormously—and all their earlier stuff. But after Dark Side of the Moon I totally lost interest in the band, despite their huge commercial success. Wish You Were Here was a big disappointment to me, and I never bought another minute of their music.
Some might say he's entitled to his opinion....I say does one have an opinion if they're dead from the neck up?
Surely he jests.

agree 100%
The only song on this masterpiece, arguably best album of all times, all genres, that I do not like. I heard Roger Waters play it one time on acoustic as a slow classic blues tune and it sounded much better like that.
Now that would be interesting to hear.

Now that is one awesome guitar solo!!!!

It may well be one of the worst (least good) songs on the LP, but it's still better than many other bands best songs relative to their collective outputs.
I respectfully disagree on the basis of the extended guitar solo alone. One of the greats.

It took two weeks after daily work to complete the drawing. I scanned it in 2 parts because of it's size. Unfortunately I used wrong tools: an old, technical-drawing paper, and a too hard (4B) pencil - better things weren't under my hand at this time. I didn't have possibilies to draw until years, so I had to relearn to select and use the right tools.
This is a beautiful portrait...and Roger has definitely improved with age.
Hmmm. Me, too.

I'm with you on that one! I don't think I can ever seperate the audio from that image. Intentional or not - what a great soundtrack to the film.
Wonder if it's worth anything.

"A short segment featuring Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason"
There is no way to listen to this objectively and consider it a "sellout". Mainstream radio might play it 24 hours a day, but they can never co-opt the meaning of this song.
Agreed, though it only gets a 6 from me. On one of those documentaries; Roger played the way he first wrote it, more of a Mississippi delta blues style and it was awesome, just should've kept it a stripped down acoustic blues song! Anyway, this is the only song on the inarguably "Best Album of all Times" that I don't like!
