Yeah those hip young scene kids really dig 40 year old folk albums. I see loads of teenagers with trendy haircuts rocking out to Baby Lemonade on a regular basis.

That really wasn't called for.

Wow...You act like he deeply wounded you or something.

I'd say his solo stuff was interesting rather than good.

I think Barrett album is much better than The Madcap Laughs , probably because it's more organised & focused. Although I think most of that is due to Dave Gilmour being involved in the production which made it much more listenable than it's predecessor.

I prefer The Madcap Laughs because of its sporadic nature. The lack of flow gives it a weirdly honest sound. Songs like Octopus and If It's In You sound genuinely experimental even if they don't stray too far from typical Syd. Also, No Man's Land is just too good.

I'm sorry it comes across that way.

No problem.

I agree with boo boo. Barrett era isnt even close to as good as Gilmour and Waters era.

Bike is probably the worst song Pink Floyd have ever done.
