Finally a thread about Floyd, ok David Gilmore HATED Syd Barrett. At least thats what I think. Syd was so much more creative and talented than David, and the band only picked up Gilmore because Syd got lost in his own head. If you notice all their best songs from the later years ARE about Syd (wish you were here, Time, Shine on you crazy diamond) And after Barrett left Waters lost his motivation. They could have been THE BEST BAND OF ALL TIME but Syd just couldn't go all the way.....what could have been......
