iPod Esstentials #12: "Money"--Pink Floyd

I will never forgive MTV for their shabby treatment of Pink Floyd during Live 8 in 2005.

This song ironically details the pitfalls and absurdities of the almighty dollar. Money is a blessing and a curse.

A great blues riff echoes throughout the song. Even more interesting is that the time signature changes midway through the song, going from typical 4/4 time to 6/8 and back to 4/4 again. Daring and it works.

What a gas.
