Top 10 Songs About Money

As I found out with a Google search, the top songs about money list has been done many times before...but there's nothing saying I can't do it better!

 

I've made a playlist of the Top 10 for your enjoyment here (signup to imeem is free)...unfortunately, I had to use a cover version of #1.

 

Without further ado:

 

10) Take the Money and Run – Steve Miller Band

 

9) Money For Nothing – Dire Straits

 

8) If You’ve got the money, I’ve got the time – Willie Nelson

 

All three are vying for the official song of Wall Street...my favorite unintentionally appropriate line about high finance from Steve Miller: "He makes his livin off of the peoples taxes"

 

7) Fortunate Son – Creedence Clearwater Revival

 

So angry. So awesome.

 

6) Opportunities (Let’s Make Lot’s of Money) – Pet Shop Boys

 

Was #1 on the charts in March 2009.

 

5) Can’t Buy Me Love – The Beatles

 

4) Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems – Notorious B.I.G.

 

If this recession has taught us anything, money ain't THAT important.

 

3) Sell Out – Reel Big Fish

 

That said...

 

2) If I Had a Million Dollars – Barenaked Ladies

 

Contrarians love green dresses.

 

1) Money Talks – AC/DC

 

It's like a love song to the advantages of money.

 

B-Sides (Songs that didn't make the cut, but maybe should have)

 

Money, Money, Money – ABBA

 

She Works Hard for the Money – Donna Summer

 

I Wanna Be Rich – CallowayMoney – Pink Floyd

 

Ride Wit Me – Nelly (Hey, must be the money!)

 

All About the Benjamins – P Diddy

 

Life’s Been Good - Joe Walsh

 

About 20 other songs from AC/DC (Back in Black, Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, etc.)

 

What have I missed?

They have to many great songs to list, but I guess everybody has a different taste when it comes to music

echoes is one of the dumbest songs i have ever heard (aside from "there coming to take me away, ha ha). it is a 10 minute long instrumental with 3 minutes of lyrics. i respect your opinion, but i have always thought that pink floyd was overrated: not as much as the stones or doors, but still overrated.

Time

Money

Speak To Me/ Breathe

Brain Damage/Eclipse

Shine On You Crazy Diamond, all parts

Welcome to the Machine

The Happiest Days of Our Lives/ Another Brick in the Wall II

Empty Spaces/ Young Lust

Hey You

Run Like Hell

Learning to Fly

High Hopes

 

 

let's not forget that Dark Side of the Moon was on the Billboard Top 200 Charts for 14 YEARS straight.

 

Also it's not quite fair to Pink Floyd to look at them from a song-by-song perspective. Almost every one of their albums was based on a concept.

Well. I'm a little bit biased as a huge Floyd fan, but regarding "Echoes" either you get it, or you don't. Beethoven's 5th is a 20 minute long instrumental, get the connection now? Echoes is the first electronic symphony. I can recognize Richard Wright's electronic "beep" on the first note as well as Ludwig's famous Da-da-da-dah........

 

PS not putting the Floyd's "Money" or "Have a Cigar" on that list is about criminal, or damn ignorant.

 

"We're just knocked out,

we heard about the sell out

you gotta get an album out

we're so happy we can hardly count"
