A perfect example? Pink Floyd's "Money." The classic track, released on 1973's iconic Dark Side of the Moon album, opens with one of the most instantly recognizable basslines of all time, courtesy of Roger Waters. It was Pink Floyd's first major hit in the U.S., peaking at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100.
"Pink Floyd’s ‘Money’ is an undisputed classic, boasting one of the greatest riffs ever," wrote Far Out's Arun Starkey.
Roger Waters was the driving force behind 'Money'
In a 1993 interview with Guitar World, David Gilmour gave Waters credit for writing most of "Money."
"We also invented some new riffs — we created a 4/4 progression for the guitar solo and made the poor saxophone player play in 7/4," he continued. "It was my idea to break down and become dry and empty for the second chorus of the solo.”
"'Money,'" he replied. "I’m not talking about the lyric. Just the quirky 7/8 time reminds me of Roger. It’s not a song I would have written. It points itself at Roger.”
