Do it. That album rules. Like a lot.

Probably my favorite

[QUOTE=Schyma]It SHOULD be their most popular album!![/QUOTE]

I, with respect, disagree.

I know I go out on a limb when I say that but nothing has quite touched me like PATGOD. I think the songwriting is way more creative, influncial and so trippy and psychedelic than ANY of their post Syd matrial.

I can agree with him being the most psychedelic, but I think Roger took songwriting much farther than Syd ever did.

I, with respect, disagree.

So which songs should I get by Syd Barrett? I have only heard:

Long Gone
Scream Thy Last Scream
Vegtable Man

123 to what Gilmour said. PATGOD is one crazy album, and probably their most psychadelic release, but after the untimely demise of Barret from Pink Floyd, their music took on a much deeper meaning. If Syd had stayed in the band, I doubt they could have made such an impact on the music industry.

Just get the album [I]Piper of the Gates of Dawn[/I] or if you just want one song get "Intersteller Overdrive" but trust me the album is awsome.

If you want some solo go for "Octopus".

[QUOTE=Schyma]I, with respect, disagree.[/QUOTE]

So you say that Waters can never touch Syd and his influence? I say Roger has had a gigantic influence on rock. Even though he wasnt the first to make concept albums, he mastered the process of it. DSotM and The Wall are both very influential albums. Many modern artists have used those albums as inspiration for their own music. Lyrically, Animals is brilliant, and Roger's most creative. Waters takes George Orwell's story of a communist society and applies it to music.

I dont see how you can say Syd has had a bigger influence than Roger. Maybe in the 60's/70's psychedelic scene, but not today, save a few cult fans.

Cool, thanks man. Right now I am listening to the masterpiece, Dogs :cool:

BTW, I am not bashing Syd.

I completly disagree but opinions....meh (*_*)

I like PATGOD, but I think Syd is becoming somewhat overrated. He was a great songwriter, but Pink Floyd really took shape when they got Gilmour playing better guitar parts than Syd ever could. We can't do anything but speculate on what would have happened to the band had Syd stayed with them, but I think it's quite possible they would have died out along with loads of other late 60's psychedelic bands.

You are probably right.

I am glad things worked out the way they did, because the music they created is incredible.

I guess everything just works out for the best. Dave is obviously a better guitarist than Syd. Imagine Syd playing the solo to [i]Echoes[/i] or even to something like [i]Comfortably Numb[/i]. It just wouldn't be the same.

I agree but, I think had Syd been with Pink Floyd as long as Waters, then Syd would of had a bigger influence than Waters does. Syd just had a more distinct sound even though he wasn't as talented as a songwriter.

Could someone post the live version of Interstellar Overdrive? It's been ages since I've heard it last.

I can upload Syd's whole album "The Madcap Laughs" for you or anyone else.

Syd Barrett- The Madcap Laughs

enjoy

To tell you the truth, I think Pink Floyd probably would have reached their full potential if Syd stuck around. Gilmour could still play guitar, but having Waters, Barret and Gilmour all contributing to songwriting would have made their songs even better.

They may not have been as commercially successful if Barret had stuck around, because he was always just a little too crazy for mainstream music. But I think I would enjoy the band even more (maybe the majority of the world wouldn't though).

Dave is better, but I think Syd is more creative.

Lets not get into the whole "what if Syd didn't go crazy" thing. Its so hard to say what would happen, and predictions just lead us to missing Syd more or wishing it was Gilmour from the begining, and nobody comes out happy.

Good stuff!

I've been looking for this album for a while.

If you liked it you should cheak out his cd Barrett. In my opinion it is better the Madcap. Or you could just get his newly relased greatest hits titled "wouldn't you miss me." I mean its a good complitation because you can fit most of Syd's solo work on one cd, and it has a few unrealsed tracks.

/downloading Madcap Laughs.

Thanks for the upload!

I'm lovin' the song Octopus.

magicbus-Guess who has AIM? DrJakeDestructo does! If anyone want's to add me, feel free to do so.

NP: Echoes

I have never really gotten into this song. I have actually only listened to it a few times, but right now, I put it on, and man...I almost orgasmed. It's Gilmour and Wright singing, right?

[QUOTE=Livewired]I'm lovin' the song Octopus.[/QUOTE]

Yeah thats a favorite of mine too.

Octopus, No Man's Land, Here I go, and Golden Hair are my favorites off the album. Also if you liked Dark Globe you should cheak out the cd Opel. It has an alternet take of it with much better vocals.

Yessuh it is

I find it weird that on Pompeii Rick sings the higher octaves, since that is usually Dave's forte.

Yeah, I thought the exact same thing when I was watching Pompeii. They both have extremely wide ranges.
