Roger Waters is very talented but the more lax direction Pink Floyd took after his departure led to some underrated gems of albums imo.
i think if they hadn’t ganged up on Syd Barret then he wouldnt have become sz and may have taken the band further but we’ll never know, they made a lot of money off of the back of him
That’d be an interesting topic to explore in, say, a documentary or something.
Poor Syd had a hard life.
he ended his days fighting with his family and setting fire to his artwork out of his mums back garden
they probably done one already
Very possible. I’ll have to do some research because I’d love to watch one.
he changed his name too, he didnt go by Syd, he went by another name but i cant remember what it was
Pink Floyd’s "Careful with that wax Darlene’ was a good song 
Quite often i listen to Floyd. Not so keen on roger waters solo albums - but i do like David Gilmours stuff. Syd was an unmedicated Sz - that mashed his mind on drugs - i often wonder that if he had the correct Psych intervention, he would still be alive.
“High hopes” is one of my favourites when im having a pity party! lol.
I think you mean “Careful with that axe Eugene” !?? Or is there a cover im not aware of?
I was being silly 
Oh right - Sorry , ive just got up so im slow this morning lol.
I’ve only been up just over 30 mins.
I really like Syd Barret
In my opinion “Dark Side of the Moon” cemented Pink Floyd’s fame. “The Wall” added some bricks.
I never got into Pink Floyd .‘Dark side of the Moon’ was very popular at school . I think PF would have gone in a completely different direction if he had not had his psych problems , and had stayed as the driving force behind the group.
I used to self-harm to PF’s the “The final cut” . It was like i was declaring to the world that i was in pain, whilst blaring it out. I havent cut for nearly 9 years now - thank god. All my scars are covered with tattoos now. I think thats where they got the initial diagnosis of Borderline PD from. Even listening to that album now on spotify can be triggering. 
I’ve still got marks from when I cut myself in 1975, although they’ve faded a little over time.
