Greed. Is. Good. These words were immortalized by Gordon Gekko (aka Michael Douglas) in Oliver Stone's 1987 money masterpiece, 'Wall Street.' And while they might disagree with the sentiment, many musicians have tackled the pursuit of cash in song -- whether it's about having lots of money, having no money, or the assertion that money is the root of all evil. As the sequel to 'Wall Street' (subtitled 'Money Never Sleeps') hits theaters, Spinner takes a look at the Top 10 videos about the almighty green.

'Money'
Pink Floyd
Probably the most famous song named 'Money,' this 1973 'Dark Side of the Moon' classic from Pink Floyd starts with the sound of cash registers and jingling change. We see flashes of silver coins, then as the bassline kicks in, furs, boats, diamonds and cars -- all the trappings of the very rich. The images are interspersed with shots of miners and homeless people, then the band indicts themselves by blowing up a stack of vinyl records.
