Oh there's a lot of people here who say stuff like "Syd Barrett was a musical genius, Floyd went to crap after he left."
And of course they're the wrongest people on the planet. |

Well the second Floyd album he appeared on, Saucerful, it was only for 3 songs, only one of which he sang and wrote.
I like Barrett, but I don't think he's this musical genius people make him out to be, he just had some inspired ideas because he did a sh*tload of acid. But a lot of people did acid back then, and a lot of them made much better music than Barrett did, plain and simple. I think his music is just full of more weirdness than any actual ideas. LSD was his creative spark, and I think he depended on it a great deal, but it also meant he couldn't play worth the sh*t 95% of the time whenever he did a live show. Not what I'd define as a genius. |

I don't think Syd Barrett was a musical genius, I just prefer his stuff over some of the dreary snoozefests put out by Gilmour or Waters.

I know some rednecks who have some pretty ghastly taste in music. But I have yet to run into a surviving tribe of juggalos.
