Syd Barrett Dies

[filkertom]

Sadness. Syd Barrett, vocalist and songwriter for Pink Floyd, has passed away at the age of 60.

What's your favorite Pink Floyd track or album? Barrett Era or not. Besides every second of The Wall, I have an incredible love for "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict", not merely because it was one of my first exposures to sound and music intended to set a scene, but because I'd never imagined a title like that.

My favorite song is without a doubt "Learning to Fly". I have no idea where that falls in the band's chronology - I'm honestly not familiar with their history. But listening to the song makes me feel like flying, and can bring tears to my eyes when I'm in the right mood.

I'll second that.
