Re: Isn't "Money" just a load of Rubbish?

Yea, sorry - a misinterpretation on my part, sorry about that guys.

Anyway, Anonymous, yes i do agree (as i think many) that Money fits in very nicely thematically.

And I also greatly believe that variations in music is great for a band (San Tropez is one of my favorites), but it's the display of that theme that I don't think is as well put across as many of the other pieces on that album and on many other albums.

Examples? Speak To Me/Breathe, i can feel what the band was getting across, with "Money" i sorta bob my head to the beat, stick my head out the car window and sing along!
Sure it's got some great lyrics, but you can't really soak them in, not like the other pieces (In My Humble Opinion). I just don't like that sooo many people think "Money" is classic Pink FLoyd, therefore missing out on real beauty. Sure "variations" healthy and great for a band, but i don't like it when people get a sense of the band from these "Variations" (i wouldn't want "San Tropez" to be a big hit, because, that's not really what floyd's about - their not just a Jazz Band, just as their not just a " 'Heavy' Rock Band", which is what i think many get the feeling of from "Money".


Dig?

I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
