I love those records so much.
Been a fan a long time. I'm glad I didn't have to work with him at that time, though! Sounds like the sessions were super difficult. |

Yeah, he is awsome, I've got a best-of called Wouldn't You Miss Me, and it's great. Effervescing Elephant, Golden Hair and Octopus are songs that pop up rigth now.

Yeah, I've read that he would forget a song just as he came up with it, so they always had to record them rigth away, or Syd would just forget them,. Wonder what he's up to now? |

Yeah basically everytime he would do a take of a song it would be completely different. And I think hes one of the most influencive muscians of all time. Folk, Pyschedelic, Noise. And his nonsensical lyrics definetly were a new idea at the time.... |

syd barrett is a genius.
that's a fact. his solo albums are extremely good, and also they provide an insight into a man in the process of a breakdown, which is pretty scary. Apparently after each recording session Barrett would turn left if he was going to come back the next day, and right if he wouldn't. The last session he ever did, he turned right and that was the last the studio ever saw of him. I think this story sums up the unpredictability of working with him, but his songs come straight from his heart, and I like the way he was obviously at the lowest possible point in himself but his songs are so sweet and joyful. he is a hero |

Those records are glorious.....been a huge fan since I was in middle school.
Oh where are you now pussy willow that smiled on this leaf? When I was alone you promised the stone from your heart my head kissed the ground I was half the way down, treading the sand please, please, lift a hand I'm only a person whose arm bands beats on his hands, hang tall won't you miss me? Wouldn't you miss me at all?

As my screen name suggests, I love the man and his music.
Truly original, listen to the Piper's guitar playing, no one was playing like that in 67'. And the lyrics, oh the lyrics..! Out Sargent Peppered the beatles in my opinion. I love his solo stuff as well. It just hits you smack dab in the right place. I don't know, like the heart or something. |

I love Syd. Pink Floyd has never interested me as much without him.

I like Pink Floyd up to The Wall...and yeah I like Barrett's solo stuff. They need to stop re-releasing it every few years in a new form, though.

I love Syd Barrett's work and think he is a real unique kind of genius. His solo records are good, but uneven.Piper at the Gates of dawn is probably one of the best pyschedelic records ever made! There's a PF video from 67 showing him improvising a take of intersetllar overdrive that goes on for seventeen minutes thats simply amazing.
Some of my favorite solo songs by him are Octopus,dark globe,late night, baby lemonade,milky way, bob dylan blues, gigolo aunt, silas lee. It's a shame he wont release anymore material but i think its really uncool that people still chase him and stalk him. Let him live his life !

Barret was a true musical genius. Pnik Floyd just wasn't the same without him. I don't like the Gilmour years all that much. Too mellow. It reminds me of that worthless burn out who still works at the local record store and you look at him and realize he probably spent an accumulated total of 6 months tripping out and thinking that Dark SIde of the Moon meant something.

I often wonder what he thinks about the wall and dark side of the moon and how HIS band became so popular after he left.
I know a lot of people who like pink floyd, but have no idea who Syd is.
