Syd Barrett was a genius and his songs make the rest of Pink Floyd's works sound like a moose screaming out of pain. Prove me wrong. You can't

All of that 60s psych stuff sounds very dated today.
You have a point but it changes absolutely nothing in terms of musical quality or artistic expression
Syd's solo albums are what Pink Floyd would've sounded like if he didn't leave the band.
Also, pick posted is what Pink Floyd would've sounded like if Syd had not only stayed with the band, but tried to jump on the punk band wagon in 77.
OP is right, Syd basically invented real psychedelic music. Also his songs were surprisingly very melodic and poppy, he had some hidden genius that he couldn't develop.

RIP SYD YOU PIPER
Syd's solo albums were made while his mind was melting. His drug abuse (by the way heavily encouraged by Waters) combined with his mental illness destroyed his ability to make quality music such as the ones featured in Piper. But you may search descriptions made by people who lived with Syd which said "his music, while he was sane, was pure magic". Also, Pink Floyd's "greatest albums" such as wish you were here or dark side of the moon were made from Syd's ideas.
Yea sadly his mind couldn't afford both illness and drug abuse. We lost what could have been one of the greatest musicians of history too early
>moose screaming out of pain
sounds patrician
What do you mean those albums were made with Syd's ideas?
I really do wish we lived in a timeline where the band followed Syd down the rabbit hole with 'Scream Thy Last Scream' and 'Vegetable Man'. Syd was a total legend, and I wish more people appreciated his work and stopped diagnosing him.

technically speaking, gilmour's pink floyd was light years ahead of syd's children's tunes
