If it wasn't for those songs The Joshua Tree would be fantastic

Haha, you never fail to entertain.

Anyway, I never liked When I'm 64 from Sgt. Peppers for some reason.

My problem with Money isn't that its necessarily a bad song, its not a great one, but rather it just seems incongruous with the rest of the album. It keeps me from appreciating DSOTM as a quasi-concept album.

Money is part of what made them famous.

The song Money or the material possession?

ProggyMan · 03-21-2008, 05:20 PM

The song. I think it really pushed them over to super stardom.

jackhammer · 03-21-2008, 05:23 PM

It turned them into a boring stadium rock band (with one album being the exception). Floyd are my favourite band but I know they have their faults.

ProggyMan · 03-21-2008, 05:45 PM

Agreed, but I was talking about success.

Money did not neccessarily make Floyd. DSOTM did put them into a different stratosphere but I don't think it was one particular song per se.

ProggyMan · 03-21-2008, 05:52 PM

Agreed, but I think without Money's success DSOTM wouldn't have been near as successful.
