Pink Floyd melts my brain, I listen to them hours each day.
The syd barret years are really trippy psychedelic music while the later stuff is a little more calm, I fucking love it.
Wish you were here is the perfect album.

It's hard not to like Floyd. Anyone who says so has probably not really listened to them, or has some strange bias.

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......

Personally I like the later days more then the early days and David more then Syd, but really that's like saying I rate one a 10 and the other a 9.5.

yeah the early stuff never got to its "psychedelic prime". But had Syd stayed with the group no one would ever even know who Gilmore was. Syd got them started and he deserves all the credit...Actually he's dead now so I guess I'ma credit waters, the numbuh 2 man!
