To be blunt, he sucked. He was a mentally ill weirdo that wrote terrible music.

I always wondered how Jim Morrisons LSD regimen compared to his. Jim spent a fair amount of time surviving off canned beans and LSD, living on someone's roof.

Keith "Syd" Barrett founded the band, gave it its name, and wrote most of the early songs that led Pink Floyd in the direction of psychadelic rock and gave them their early success. When he was left behind, the band struggled to reinvent themselves until they dove into the madness that took Syd which heavily influenced DSotM and WYWH. If they hadn't chosen that direction, the band likely would have imploded into just another footnote in history. Sounds easily quantifiable to me especially since PF wouldn't have had the subject material to create DSotM and WYWH without Syd. |

Anyone with schizophrenia in their family needs to be REAL careful with hallucinogenic stuff. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Spaceboy: To be blunt, he sucked. He was a mentally ill weirdo that wrote terrible music. He taught David Gilmour how to play guitar and founded one of the greatest rock bands in history. His solo music is a mess, he even forgets lyrics and just starts humming on some songs, but it’s not all bad. The first song my kids memorized as little kids was Effervescing Elephant.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Spaceboy: To be blunt, he sucked. He was a mentally ill weirdo that wrote terrible music. I agree. I don't get the allure of the early Floyd stuff with Barret. It sucked. The only purpose it served was to give the band something to write awesome music about later. |
