pink floyd is one of my favorite groups of all time, and barrett was the creative guy behind it. when he fried his brains on LSD, roger waters took over the reins.
the album 'wish you were here' is a terrific tribute to syd.
the awesome dirge 'shine on you crazy diamond', in particular the new orleans delta-blues-heavy part IX, with its spectacular saxophone riffs, has always been one of my favorite tracks ever.
