    Here's where you put your feelings about Syd Barrett, the founder of Pink Floyd and general prog great, who died last week. He will live in our memories forever.

Syd may have only been with Floyd for one album (technically), but without Syd Barrett, it's arguable there would have been no Pink Floyd, and that is unthinkable.

Personally, I was not too keen on his later solo material, but the man has my undying thanks for bringing together Waters, Wright & Mason... and letting Gilmour, his roadie, take over when it became necessary. He may not have left a large canon of music, but his legacy was and is the very existence of Pink Floyd.

I'll not dwell on his descent into illness, but 60 years old is too young - Rest In Peace, Syd; may the madcap continue to laugh!
