Reception
Pink Floyd's album Dark Side of the Moon was released March 1, 1973. Money places number six on the album, and is the only song from Dark Side of the Moon to make its appearance on Billboards top 100 list of 1973. The song quickly makes its mark taking the 92nd spot on the list. In 2008, Guitar World magazine listed David Gilmour's solo on "Money" as No. 62 among readers' votes for "The Greatest 100 Guitar Solos". The song also was ranked No. 69 on the list of "The 100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time" of Rolling Stone. This song does not entail the perennial themes that fans are used to such as; paranoia, insanity, the meaning of life, and the passage of time. Pink Floyd changes their conventional message, with lyrics that verbalize crass materialism. The opening line "Money get away" sends the message that money is an evil temptation. Pink Floyd warns us by saying "get away" because people with money are in their own world of greed and lust. Money may bring success but it is the "root of all evil today" as David Gilmour explicitly states in verse 3 of Pink Floyd's song. Remember to "share it fairly, but don't take a slice of my pie" a popular lyric that Pink Floyd wrote to prod society about their values. The song argues that money is evil; ironically the album "Money" is on has made Pink Floyd a substantial amount of money by selling over 34 million copies.
