Money for Nothing is underrated now? I thought MTV even uses it when they splash their logo. Everyone knows it's great, video as well. I think it's neither underrated nor overrated. It's just rated.


Agree. I associate this song with wandering the halls of home depot, it is Poe's law in a song, indistinguishable from that which it satirizes

(I can't find what podcast it was that tells the story of the band absolutely not wanting to do this video, they hated MTV, "I want my MTV" at the head of the song is sung mockingly, but it's so iconic that MTV co-opted it as their brand - an amazing example of "what you resist persists")
