    What are your 5 favorite Syd songs while he was with Floyd?

    What are your 5 favorite solo Syd songs?

    Do you have a least favorite Syd song?


    Out of PatGoD, Madcap Laughs, Barrett, and Opel, which is your favorite?

    Do you like post-Syd Floyd better than when he was with them?

    If you answered "yes" to the previous question, do you think you need psychological help? :p

    Do you think Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the greatest psychedelic rock album of all-time?
    Do you think the lyrics to "Candy and a Currant Bun" should've been changed?

    Have you heard "Julia Dream"?

    If you haven't, you really should!

    Thanks for wasting your time with my pointless thread!

    Pipers great, love the whole album. Definelty a highlight of that era.

    I think its hard to argue syd-floyd vs post syd-floyd. They are almost two different bands, both incarnations are great.

    Madclaps laughs was a great album, while barret is a bit lacking comparitevly.

    All the random bits are fun to collect and listen to ocasionaly,

    I've made almost an entire movie using piper as the soundtrack, someday ill finish it. Best part is anstronomy domine and the gnome....

    Piper will always have a magic to it.

    Do you like post-Syd Floyd better than when he was with them?
    Yes

    If you answered "yes" to the previous question, do you think you need psychological help? :p
    I think Syd was a brilliant genious when it came to music, but he, and almost no one else I think can write lyrics like Roger.

    Do you think Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the greatest psychedelic rock album of all-time?
    ummmmm.......Yes!

    Do you think the lyrics to "Candy and a Currant Bun" should've been changed?
    Eh, Syd still managed to sneak a fuck in there

    Have you heard "Julia Dream"?
    Yes, great early song, though ironicaly it was the 1st song the band recorded without any input at all from Syd

    If you haven't, you really should!

    Not at all.


    Here's a little Pink Floyd tip:

    Try to listen to: 'Point Me At The Sky' -by The Pink Floyd 1968.

    There's a middle 8 verse in it that goes:

    "...........& If you survive till 2005 I hope you'll be exceedingly thin...................for If you are stout, then you'll have to breathe out.............while the people around you breathe in."

    -Roger Waters.1968.

    I used to have this song on a 'Columbia' 45rpm vinyl single but I gave it away to a fellow Floydie!.:(

    Astronomy Domine
    Apples and Oranges
    Candy and a Current Bun
    Matilda Mother
    See Emily Play

    What are your 5 favorite solo Syd songs?
    Dark Globe
    Baby Lemonade
    Effervescing Elephant
    Dominoes
    No Good Trying

    Do you have a least favorite Syd song?
    Probably, but nothing comes to mind

    Out of PatGoD, Madcap Laughs, Barrett, and Opel, which is your favorite?
    Piper At The Gates Of Dawn. A great blend of original songs, especially considering it was their (and Syd's) first album.

    Do you like post-Syd Floyd better than when he was with them?
    Probably post-Syd due to the sheer amount of amazing albums they have made. As far as quality goes I'm sitting on the fence :) But I do prefer post-Syd ever so slightly.


    If you answered "yes" to the previous question, do you think you need psychological help? [​IMG]
    Well I didn't say which was best but I need psychological help regardless .
    Do you think Piper at the Gates of Dawn is the greatest psychedelic rock album of all-time?
    Oh yes!


    Do you think the lyrics to "Candy and a Currant Bun" should've been changed?
    No, but then again I'm biased.


    Have you heard "Julia Dream"?
    Yep, I thought it was a Rick Wright song until this survey. Its an Ok song, nothing special.


    Thanks for wasting your time with my pointless thread!
    Time writing about Syd is not time wasted!

    Don't forget the other question:

    "How many of you think Syd Barrett's solo material is ridiculously overrated?"

    How is he overrated... most of these so-called "Floyd Fans" have never even heard his music, let alone heard of him. The ones that live by me, anyway... they're all like "The Wall iz teh greatest album eva, its soooooooo hippy lolz!!"
    Nobody who I asked even knew who Wish You Were Here was dedicated to. [​IMG]
