If you correlate greed with ambition then I guess so, but that’s not how most people define the term. Most everybody who isn’t a sociopath considers greed a borderline mental illness, somewhere between addiction and a compulsive disorder, perhaps.
But maybe there are some things that it’s okay to be greedy for: kindness, for example. We can’t get enough kindness. And records. I want all of the records. Gimme gimme this, gimme gimme that!
Here’s a few records from my stacks that address greed:
“Pure Greed,” G.B.H.
“Hatred and Greed,” Ajenda.
“Avarice,” Disturbed.
“Greed,” Godsmack.
“Stop Being Greedy,” DMX.
“Ship Of Fools,” World Party.
“Greed,” Mercy House.
There you have it: Seven songs about greed. You want more, don’t you? Man, you’re so greedy.

This might be the first time that Dan Folgerberg, Grand Funk, and Madonna appeared on the same playlist.
