As you no doubt already know, Syd Barrett is dead. Syd was a founding member of Pink Floyd. With them, he recorded about one and a half brilliant albums followed by two of the most harrowing solo albums you'll ever hear, after which he went into a 30-odd year period of seclusion.
In the meantime, Pink Floyd recorded a series of ever more nerve-deadening albums (with such truth-in-advertising titles as "The Delicate Sound of Thunder"-yaaaawn) and performed concerts that were about as much fun as watching the numbers turn at the DMV.
Oh, by the way: Syd was the crazy one.
yipee you can't see me but I can you.
Pink Floyd "Metal" is an excellent album. Nothing like piper but alot more like early King Crimson.
Len/Chet- I assume you mean "Meddle". I still think Atom Heart Mother and Meddle represent Floyd's transition from psychedelic to pseudo-psychedelic. One of these days I'm going to cut you into little pieces.
