How much money may very well make the difference between an OK job and a job you don't want to do.
In part a job advert should be selling you the idea of working for them... so why leave out one of the (main) benefits?
It's considered gauch to ask about the pay at an interview... so unless it's on the job advert, when will you find out? In your first months pay packet?

A few years back I applied for a job with no salary mentioned, so I gave range of what I expected based on what would incentivise me to leave the current role. It turned out theirs was much higher and I got offered a lot more than I expected.
I guess that's quite unusual though.
I think too many companies try and perfectly define the drone they think will fit best - so a company who defines the type of skills that will be helpful, the types of outcomes sought, and describes the type of company they are to work for stand a far better chance of getting a range of candidates who might each be a great fit in different ways.
Part of that is relevant to salary too. Saying (say) £55-65k means the person who is looking for 80k who might once you speak to them seem totally worth that to you isn't going to apply.
If applying for a job where no range is given, and you think it might be an issue, then I'd (and have) say what my range was the applying - by the same token, as long as a candidate is not looking for too much then they should also have no issue saying that right? ;-)
One job I went in to fit this exactly - I said when applying what I was looking for and asked if it would be an issue. They said they were flexible on salary for the right candidate.
I got the job and it turns out they increased the scope of the role when they met me, gave me a job and salary that fit, and we went on from there.

the big issue is I disagree with my job grade, other people with my level of responsibility are a grade higher. So it's not much comfort when they tell me I am at the high end of my pay scale for my job grade.

I've never gotten why people don't like discussing pay within the workplace. It's really important and would help businesses be more accountable.
