The amount of drooling and fawning by smashy and nicey DJs, and some of my school chums was enough for me to put this one on ignore. 'Money' is one the the most dirgy, out of time bits of charmless old bollocks I have ever had the misfortune to have shoved down my throat. Music for people who don't really like music. Music for people who LOVE 'Goodbye yellow prick Road', Supertramp (post COTC), Peter Frampton, and ****ing Abba. Prog Rock for people who find King Crimson, early Sabbath, the MIGHTY Van der Graaf Generator, Can, Soft Machine, Caravan, Hatfield and the North and, yes, early mark 2 Floyd a bit . . . . frightening.
I say all that of course with my 1970s to 1980s massive music snob hat on. These days, well, I may give it a listen (skipping 'Money', the only track on the album I have heard, to my knowledge). I'm sure I'd find it quite nice now.
Maybe not.
Angry now.
Edit Mrs T says she loves it. Perhaps I really should give it a listen. Although apparently she says the Flaming Lips version is better. I like Flaming Lips (saw them in Brighton many years ago with my son). What, after all do I know? I suspect Derek and Clive could put me right on that....![]()
You don't half talk some twaddle Harry.
I prefer Wish You Were Here but both are great albums that I prefer to listen to as albums rather than a collection of tracks.
Where is the 'Dark Side of the Moon' is just a bit meh option? It ain't bad, but it ain't that special either.

Us and Them is one of my favourite Pink Floyd songs of all time.
DSOTM is a brilliant album but I actually prefer Wish You Were Here.
Interesting. You genuinely find it a bit mediocre? Most people love it, some people hate it. Maybe Prog just not your genre?
By the way I prefer both the preceding Meddle and subsequent Wish You Were Here.
Unfortunately very soon after Waters seized control and the Floyd disappeared up their own bottom.
Not a fan.
Neither were any of our REMF quiz team - we failed miserably on the Floyd question
