Does the beginning of "Money for Nothing" remind you of "Shine on you crazy diamond?"

I just heard Money for Nothing for the first time in awhile and it sounded really similar; I wonder if it does to you all also

Not directly, but it does carry a similar vibe.

I would say SOYCD intro is more similar to the intro of Dream Theater - Octavarium. Shouldn't be surprising because the former was part of the inspiration for the latter.

Be sure to reserve enough time

I heard Money For Nothing earlier and more often, so it's the other way round for me.

Now that you mention it...

No, not really. It had never occurred to me before, and as I hear them in my head right now, they're just not that similar.

But that's me.

The guitar intro to Money for Nothing is reminding me of the guitar intro to Welcome to the Machine

Listening in the 80s, no, they are two completely distinct songs.

Listening today, sure, both have an ethereal intro.
