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.

I remember falling in love with it during my stay in Toronto, where once every month a local independent theatre would do "Dark Side of Oz"... Man, you could get high just standing in the lobby on those nights!
