Ok, so there's Wright, Mason and Waters, but who tf is that other guy? Is that supposed to be Barrett? It sure ain't Gilmour. Not even a very good Barrett.

The original black and white photo appears on the inner cover to Meddle:
They've superimposed Barrett's head on Gilmour's body from this photo:

Thank you for explanation, really funny art compilation :-)))
But somebody like it - see here ...
Maybe it looks better in vinyl format and quality of sleeve for somebody with special psychedelic feeling.

You don't get irony and sarcasm do you? 
"I have the quadraphonic version, of course." - there was no quadraphonic version... it's a joke.
"The original release came with a strobe light, a liquid light projector and dry ice." - now, think about it... it's a joke.
"Storm's greatest album cover ever!" - it wasn't by Storm it was by Herman Baas... it's a joke.
"It's so mysterious and cool to look at." - no it isn't... it's a joke;
"This is pink floyd's second greatest album after Collection Of Great Dance Songs." - Collection of Great Dance Songs is their worse compilation... it's a joke
"All songs written by Roger Waters except for tracks 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 &10 which were written by either Syd Barrett or Rick Wright." - there are only ten tracks, Waters wrote only one of them, track 9... it's a joke
"5 Stars!"... it's a joke.
...actually it is an okay compilation because of the inclusion of Candy And A Current Bun, Apples and Oranges and It Would Be So Nice which weren't available on LP at that time.

^ no I didn't, because that's the format in which I own it, and I can assure you it's much, much, worse when it's 12" square.

Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement.

Back on topic: I want to say The Wall or The Final Cut is my least favorite cover, but both say so much about the music inside the album. I also want to say Momentary Lapse or Division Bell, but I know that it's the music on both that I find lacking.....in fact, the cover may be the best thing about Momentary (though I have been softening on both albums over the years). You see - these are my four least favorite Floyd albums, and I've been throwing out the baby with the bathwater....dismissing the covers 'cause I don't dig the music. When being more objective, I find that the Ummagumma cover - though I like both the studio and live sides - leaves a lot to be desired. And it's the only one besides Piper that features the band members on the cover. The more the members of the band got out of the way of the music, the better both music and cover became. Having said that, my fave cover: Animals.....also my favorite Floyd music. See - it's tough to separate the cover from the sounds.

I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there.....

My favorite Pink Floyd album cover is probably either Wish You Were Here or Momentary Lapse of Reason.
Least favorite is easily Final Cut.
