gonna be the last one for tonight, will have to finish the rest tomorrow. if i have to choose just one, i usually go with wish you were here as my favorite floyd album. it is the band at their musical peak.
here is a famous photo of syd barrett in 1975, when he showed up at the recording studio unannounced. the story is the band hadn’t seen him in years and didn’t recognize him at all.
Whenever I listen to this I always wonder why I don't listen to it more often. He'd be my favourite George Harrison clone (if George had put a mega load of reverb across everything). Banger!
