DSOTM is still their best album IMO, it might lack the organic element of Piper and Meddle or the very underrated Obscured by Clouds, all of those albums have some filler or less than steller parts though, DSOTM doesn't, musically it's their tightest effort.
I still like Money, it's overplayed, but I don't know how you could find it "boring as hell", it's only 6 minutes, has a great bassline, an interesting rhythm and some awesome guitar and sax solos. If you can endure big epics like Echoes, SOYCD and Dogs I don't know how that would bore you.
It's the tightest and most to the point album Floyd ever did (and still my favorite album probably), I don't know how you could find it boring unless you were bored by Floyd in general.

I am a floyd fan, I just got a tattoo with one of their logos FFS but that doesn't mean I have to like everything that they do. DSOTM is not a bad album and I didn't say that. I just find it boring just the same as you don't rate Animals. Both respective albums are our personal favourites but the difference is that it doesn't bother me in the slightest that you are not a huge Animals fan, it's all about opinions and I respect yours and have not started a debate about your dislike of the album.
The simple fact is that I have known that album (DSOTM) for 20 years now and it doesn't stimulate me anymore. I rarely play it. Doesn't mean that I think it's awful. I just rarely listen to it and prefer other albums.
