Well here's one that's not in the trash.

I wasn't a huge fan of the Syd-era albums, but I can definitely appreciate the influence he had on the band's early sound and how that morphed into the albums I enjoyed later.

I'm kind of relieved he's passed, though - remember those threads we had a couple years ago with pictures of him?  He looked absolutely horrible in those.

Yeah, sorry, but it was turning into a "Syd sucks" thread, and IMHO wasn't appropriate.

:dunno:

There goes the greatest pop musician of the 60's.  Sadly missed.
