  2. "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" is a nine-part composition by the English rock band #PinkFloyd for their 1975 album #WishYouWereHere. It was written by #DavidGilmour, #RogerWaters, and #RichardWright, and first performed on Pink Floyd's #1974FrenchTour. The song is written about the Pink Floyd founder member #SydBarrett, who left in 1968 following mental health problems.

  3. Imagine a timeline where the 1968 fracture of #PinkFloyd never happened. Instead of pushing him out, the band stabilized around #SydBarrett, with the group acting as a strategic shield for his erratic genius. By rejecting the pivot to stadium-friendly rock, they remained a sharp, analytical art-lab anchored in the London underground. In this thread, I’m reconstructing their definitive discography from 1968–1972 as if they had stayed collective and dangerous. 1/7 tidal.com/playlist/7f28b901-99

  4. Syd Barrett’s influence on alternative rock music is profound and far-reaching. His innovative songwriting, experimental soundscapes, and unique persona have left an indelible mark on the genre.

  6. "I don't think I'm easy to talk about. I've got a very irregular head. And I'm not anything that you think I am anyway."

  9. Not sure this belongs with my prog stuff really, but will keep it there. A great compilation/tribute to Syd from The Shamen, TVPs and Soup Dragons among others. They all do a great job. #vinyl #SydBarrett #xp

  10. PINK FLOYD
    The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
    1972 Canada reissue
    [fourth issue]

    Having a #psychedelic Saturday night.

    Nothing left in the world to say about this great album.

    Still the best to ever don the Pink Floyd name, regardless of personnel. That is a FACT and cannot be disputed.

  11. I just needed to look up this video. It seems a shame not to share it with all of you too as it's just fantastic! #PinkFloyd #SydBarrett youtu.be/8pBQ0AeZoXQ?si=LKGPh0

  13. Fun letter to the Guardian re Jugband Blues:
    “Petridis describes a Salvation Army band erupting into ‘free-form mayhem’ as a counterpoint to Syd Barrett’s ‘dead-eyed voice.’ My father, George Whittingham, and his lifelong friend, Maurice Cooper, were part of the ensemble responsible for that sonic mayhem. Not bad for someone who recently celebrated his 99th birthday, and for Maurice, who is 96. Perhaps it’s time for them to get the band back together?” #sydbarrett #pinkfloyd

  14. #OnThisDay in 1967, #PinkFloyd releases their first album "The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn", their only record made under the leadership of #SydBarrett.
