Syd Barrett (Solo)
After his work with Pink Floyd, he released two studio albums three if you count Opel.
Some tracks are astounding, but a few are just signs of his implosion. What does everyone think of his solo career? |

Syd solo was mediocre. His brain was fried on acid, so his solo work just never amounted to anything truly relevant.
We owe him a debt of gratitude for "Piper at the Gates...", but everything he did after that was pretty much a flash in the pan, IMHO.

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.
