filkertomSadness. 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.

Date: 2006-07-11 03:09 pm (UTC)I have a folder on my I Tunes called Pink Syd ... it's all the singles and the Piper album ... Pick any song from that ... I need to add Jugband Blues to it ...
That band after Syd left ... well ... Animals as a whole is probably my favorite post-Syd record.
SSOSFAGTIACAGWAP is a blast ... I need to get Ummagumma on CD ... I really do ... that needs to be the wake up music on Radio Capricon
Syd is a major hero of mine ... I'm pretty torn up about this
