The late Roger ‘Syd’ Barrett, from Cambridge, was a co-founder of the 1960’s music group Pink Floyd and performed on lead guitar and vocals. He also composed many of their songs. He was responsible for inspiring an entire generation of musicians to develop their own indigenous brand of English rock music.
Syd was quintessentially English, penning idiosyncratic songs unique in style and tone. He had a hugely attractive personality and with his good looks he was difficult to ignore. He was a quick-witted clown who kept family and friends laughing at his good-natured cheekiness throughout his younger years. Always interested in experimenting with music, he played the recorder, piano, ukulele, Jew’s harp and guitar all to a good standard.

I wish the Crazy Diamond box was readily available still. It has Syd's solo takes of his material prior to the overdubbing of other instruments and I preferred several of those to the final versions. Someone should issue those for streaming purposes and possibly vinyl.

I know my comment could start a war but Syd had the best voice among the members of Pink Floyd.
Love the animations. Keeping Syd's music 🎶 going.
Love the guy, been fascinated with him since 1982 ! Even went on a trip with him with mad clap laughs .. 1988 man.. I was born in January 1967 and absolutely love psychedelic music, there is shit psychedelic out there, but the top of the list is pink floyd, piper at the gates of dawn,The Beatles sgt peppers lonely hearts club band . Lennon and Barrett had the minds to slot right into the stream and think “ ive been waiting for this moment since i was a child “ afterwards when everything died down and moved on, they felt like a boat out of water,especially syd …Dream # 9 was the last psycho record of any real authenticity. Imagine that!
All a bit Monty Python!
I like too much when Syd sang only with his guitar on the demos
Excelente canción, solo el genio de Syd pudo concebirla!!!!
Long. Life. A. Cid.
