I won't deny that, I think the best lyric he ever wrote was for Jugband Blues, the last song he did for Pink Floyd.
"It's awfully considerate of you to think of me here
And I'm much obliged to you for making it clear
That I'm not here."
I do like Syd era Floyd a good deal, but it just dosen't have the same awe inspiring effect on me that the finest Waters era Floyd albums do, I prefer Waters to Syd as a singer, lyricist and songwriter and Gilmour to Syd as a singer and guitarist.
I know people like to vilify the band for the way they gave him the boot but c'mon, the guy just got to the point where he was impossible to work with.
