The late Roger ‘Syd’ Barrett, from Cambridge, was a co-founder of the 1960’s music group Pink Floyd and performed on lead guitar and vocals. He also composed many of their songs. He was responsible for inspiring an entire generation of musicians to develop their own indigenous brand of English rock music.
Syd was quintessentially English, penning idiosyncratic songs unique in style and tone. He had a hugely attractive personality and with his good looks he was difficult to ignore. He was a quick-witted clown who kept family and friends laughing at his good-natured cheekiness throughout his younger years. Always interested in experimenting with music, he played the recorder, piano, ukulele, Jew’s harp and guitar all to a good standard.

Shine on your creazy diamond...!!!
I was 15 years old, and in Leicester City centre, we went into Very Bazaar and into their record basement. Browsing,I picked up" piper" on cassette because ot struck me that the members of the band were pretty strange looking apart from Syd. Bought it and never looked back. 1985.
This proper version looks weird😅
The real Pink Floyd
as they used to be...🥹😍 happy 58th anniversary to the most psychedelic album in history❤️🍄🌿🐈🦄
Does Rick have a black eye?
Syd Barrett  made Pink Floyd  and without him they would not have done all the albums after as we know shiny new crazy diamond
Syd was a babe 🥰💕🤤
My favorite!
Syd was the soul of Pink Floyd.
Love that album. One of my top 3 favourites.
Best trip album ever
Wish you were her.
One of the best epoque of Pink Floyd!
Its awfully considerate….
The best Pink Floyd album ever
El mejor álbum de Pink Floyd
I know it was sad when ozzy died but people don’t realise Syd Barrett was the God of psychedelic music but no one cares when he died
Any reissue soon? Would love to hear a new stereo version… But I think “demix” will be necessary.
La mejor banda de Rock que ha existido !!!!
Was there a thing between Syd and Roger?
(The) Pink Floyde
Le seul vraiment très bon disque du floyd
