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.

I'm very much a Dark Side of the Moon fan, but I was introduced to Piper at the Gates of Dawn when it was new and was immediately hooked. My favorite individual song is probably Comfortably Numb except when I'm listening to one of a half-dozen others.

I have The Madcap Laughs on vinyl someplace and should probably pull it out for another listen.
