R.I.P. Syd Barrett

I don't know if there are any Pink Floyd fans here, but apparently Syd Barrett died on the 7th of this month. He wasn't with them for long, but I think the band did some of its best work during his era, and they certainly wouldn't exist without him.

Here's his BBC obituary.

Though IIRC Nick Mason was the only guy to stick it out, I've always been lead to believe Syd was Mr Pink Floyd.

I got The Wall a few months ago. Didn't really like it, not even sure if it was Syd barrett era, but I always take a while to warm-up to stuff. Had the Ramones' Anthology for about 6 months before I really started to like it.

Pink Floyd and The Piper at the Gates of Dawn are Syd Barrets stuff(albums), everything post barret is hit and miss :D

Ho, ho, ho, to the bottle I go
to heal my heart and drown my woe!
Rain may fall and wind may blow,
and many miles be still to go,
but under a tall tree I will lie!
