I'm sure he said Roger Waters.. 😆

Well I enjoyed exploring ALL their early stuff before Dark Side as a youngster. While I found Syd totally fascinating and played Piper AND Madcap Laughs endlessly throughout 10th grade, I gave just as much love and attention to everything else between '68 and '72.

The eternal question- ‘Oh by the way, which one’s Pink’? The eternal answer- Syd Barrett. He came up with their name, he got them known, and his spirit cast a shadow over them for the entirety of their existence.

Very honest revelations from Mason. Syd was the seed of the plant that grew into a beautiful tree. He will always be a part of Pink Floyd. Syd was a true (underground) artist. He didn't care about success and hit parades. He wanted to create a unique artistic universe. And was bored and irritated with touring, play back performance and media hypes. The other members wanted success and stardom and the whole sharade. Syd became a burden, a menace who exposed strange behaviour and neglect. He was unhappy and the drugs drove him further in the dark. When I hear his songs now they make me happy and sometimes I even cry. They are so unique and strange. So mesmerizing and elegant. His sensitive and artistic geniuses were overwhelming maybe in those days. And you can still hear this in his songs today.

Love both Pink Floyds, but Barretts solos are my favourites

Syd was the lead writer on Piper at the Gates of Dawn, and the album hit #6 in the UK charts. 'Bike' was all Syd, and when the band appeared on Dick Clark's show, Syd said he wrote all the material. Waters made some inane comment about American hamburgers.

Actually just tracking the stories coming out of this new documentary is such a lesson in how the Internet works, the innumerable websites and outlets, and the insatiable demand for content. The little bit of news and the few quotes from the movie is rewritten and published over and over and over again, and usually with an attention grabbing headline that makes you think there may actually be something new.

Syd was and always will be the leader 💎 ✨

Chips and beans

My kids are named after Syd. Son is Barrett and daughter is Syd. ❣️

So Nick said that Syd was the genius and after he left Waters started writing for real, yet Syd's spirit was there in the later recordings as well. The article also mentions how Gilmour said he probably did as much as he could've for Syd, yet in the same sentence states that he never even went to visit him. Don't bother, nothing new...

Clickbait

Syd’s Floyd was the BEST Floyd! Prove me wrong.

It's Nick of course! Last man standing. What is it about drummers being the only original members left usually?

There is a lot of crap mixed with a few decent tracks on ASOS.

For me after Syd left they did some good stuff but reversed the stylings back to blues. I can't stand Money, Wish You Were Here and Comfortably Numb. It's like they hired Clapton or something zzz
