I thought we were talking about a DT song.  Money.

Both great but I plump for KC's "Easy Money". Great, smouldering guitar from Fripp, and Muir bashing all those pots and pans!

Mentioning King Crimson's "Easy Money" and Pink Floyd in one context is interesting, since (  pay attention) King Crimson's "Easy Money" musically always reminded me of Pink Floyd's "Childhood's End" (track 7 from Obscured by Clouds), check it out.
Now, choosing one from the two (judging only music, not text) -- "Easy Money". With all its (relatively) "poppish" melody it's still more interesting than "Money".
Or, maybe, I'm just tired of Pink Floyd?..

I like the hard R'nB touch the Beatles did of their cover of one of the other songs called Money (that's what I want!). And the Cabaret tune...... Joel Gray/Lisa Minelli do it well

I prefer Easy Money, even though Money has a very cool riff.

Plain Money. I think it really fits in with the rest of Dark side of the Moon. The same thing can be said of Easy Money (Larks’), Money, money, money…

Both these songs were released by grade-A artists in 1973 (quite a year for prog, eh?). Both deal with greed...or, at least, Money does. Easy Money seems to also deal crimson suspenders (or something a but nastier, if we're to believe the lyrics of the USA live version).
As for myself, I won't vote, but I honestly can't make up my mind. Although, if you held a gun to my head, hmm...I might go with the Crims. But, that's just me.
