MSN.com: Pink Floyd Sells Music Catalog for Nine-Figure Payday
While $400 million is an eye-watering sum, it’s not even half of the $1.2 billion the company shelled out to acquire Queen’s catalog.

Can't wait to hear Comfortably Numb in a Tylenol PM commercial.
I mean, good for them for seeing the fruits of their talent pay off big time, but I'm not looking forward to commerce being kind to their catalog from here on.
I am not sure I have ever heard a PF song in a movie, I think they could be really interesting for that (if done appropriately of course).
For commercials though... argh...
I am also a bit curious if their main audience is a bit out of the prime demo. Queen is almost as old but is a bit more of a general pop style.

Yep, I haven't done acid since high school. And that was like 26 years ago?
Oooo my favorite! Only popular song Iknow of in 7/4 time (except for the guitar solo and the ending), and Dick Parry (I think)'s sax solo is perfect!
In reply to Jim Pettengill :
Rush used all sorts of weird time signatures, and I think Sting used 7/8 in something as well. But that 7/4 (or 7/8) in Money just propels so well.
I'm not sure how much Floyd we'll hear in commercials. It's just not well suited for it. No short catchy hooks and lots of dark lyrics. Another Brick, maybe.
