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.

The Delicate Sound of Thunder version of 'One of These Days' has the Who theme in there /VERY/ plainly heard. It's one of the reasons I plan on spinning it this Friday during my webcast after I play a couple of Syd's good Floyd songs... so it's not /technically/ dementia radio... eh, it's my show. :)
