  • We all miss him :`¬(

    R.I.P Legend....

  • In a Norman Rockwell sort of way. Rockwell was an astounding represationalist and illustrator and a sentimentalist and I can appreciate his work and effort. But his work lacks soul.

  • wont you miss me

  • Seemed like that to me. I did listen to Floyd to the point of Atom Heart Mother. I thought Dark Side was a sell out. I could not get past that. But I can stomach it somewhat now -- unless I compare the crap to Syd. God, all of it it is clangling commercialism.

  • David Gilmour is an excellent guitarist and Roger Waters was somewhat of a visionary but it was always all about Syd. Waters could not have produced as he did without the inspiration of Syd. As an old person, I have appreciation for Floyd but I still consider them to be sell outs. I prefer listening to Syd solo. I think that the four have a lot of guilt about Syd. I think they should. I think Nick Mason acknowledges this more than the others.

  • I agree, Syd was definitely in it for the art. And for that I admire him deeply. I thought the later Floyd was still doing art, but it was rather censored, perfectionist and just not as raw or vulnerably human as Syd's songs. I still love Floyd though, before and after.

  • I have a feeling it got to that point. but it never really seemed like that. of course albums like the Final Cut and such had much more emotion.

  • I have a sixteen year old son-guitarist who thinks it was a masterpiece. I thought it was a sell out. Generation gap. For the life of me -- and I have tried -- I can see no connection to commercialism with art. I am a nurse and I have a big problem with the commercialism of medicine.

  • I appreciate your remark. I am not about to argue with you. I can say with some certainty that Syd was in it for art. The others were in it for making it big. I am fifty four years old. I was twenty-one when Dark Side came out. Such a disappointment.

  • Though Pink Floyd is very commercial... it is art.
