Syd Barret - RIP


Syd Barret, the Crazy Diamond, passed away las Sunday at the age of 60 from problems derivated from diabetes.

I've always thought that The Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the work of a genius and Syd really was one also shown on his two solo albums.

Big Floyd fan here. Got a question. In your opinions, how different would the band's music be if Syd had remained with the band?
Nothing we know today as Floyd would exist if Sid had remained. As much as I loved his impact, there has been a huge influence from Gilmour and I think Waters would also be playing second fiddle. There would be no DSOTM, no WYWH, no MLOR, no Animals, no Division Bell, etc. But, god only knows what we might have had instead.

RIP, SYD!
