I love Floyd all their stuff and I have to say Barrett was a key factor to Floyd. He inspired waters to right wish you were here, shine on you crazy diamond and a few other classic Floyd tracks. Also, think about the song Interstellar Overdrive off their first album when Syd was the one leading there direction. Don’t you think interstellar overdrive lead floyd in the direction of making songs such as echoes, careful with that axe Eugene, and one of these days and many others.

Also Syds so called none sense hippy lyrics songs are great for example Astronomy Domine, apples and oranges, Lucifer Sam. See Emily play a song written by Syd Barrett, is included in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll list. It takes genius to even be considered to be on that list let alone make it on

And for those who say he had no guitar talent let’s see you create a song like interstellar overdrive on guitar. Yes I agree Gilmore is the better guitar player but I still think Syds experimental work deserves respect. So to all you making Syd sound like he’s no big deal your wrong.
-life is a short warm moment death is a long cold rest- RIP Syd Barret

Im wondering how the top comments are not anything to do with the fact that whoever made this video is retarded but obviously has good taste in music otherwise wouldn't know who these guys are....

Pink Floyd without Gilmour is like PF without Rogers - top of the worldclass but not that unique.
But you are wrong with one point: It was David who taught Syd playing guitar and they actually were best friends. It was hard for him to replace Syd. At first he wasn't replacing him but supporting him.
Still we have to thank Syd for what he led to in every aspect. Waters & Gilmour are 2 pioneers, who knows if we knew them today if the story took an other way.

@OhNonottheNWO I love Floyd pre and post Syd. I like a lot of their movie soundtracks and such, and Syd's solo work. I disagree that they "sound like every other 60's (hippie) band." Maybe they have the same sound, but a different heart and that sets Syd and Floyd apart from the rest.

It took Bob Close's leaving to transform them from a garage band to the pink floyd sound, and it took the sacking of Syd for them to achieve real success as Pink Floyd (no more "the" or "sound"). If Syd were to not have been ousted from the band, we'd never have heard the likes of Meddle, DSotM, WYWH, The Wall, and heck, even the final cut (even though it's often considered a Waters solo work, a great underrated but whiny album). Pink Floyd would have been but a flash in the pan had Syd stayed.
@roballen2 Try listening to "Chilhood's End" from Obscured by Clouds. Gilmour REPLACED Barratt, so he didn't have the strong feelings about what happened to him, like the other band members. Floyd with Syd sounds just like every other 60's hippy band, spouting nonsense verse as if the only thing that matters is that it rymes, whereas post Barrett IS floyd, the floyd everyone knows and loves (apart from trolls and musical retards)

Syd and David got on really well, infact it was David and Richard that co-produced his 2 solo albums, I don;t think Syd held that much against him. He was basically his own worst enemy, and Syd knew it too.
