Syd Barrett: 1946 - 2006


On July 7, we lost one of the pioneers of psychedelic rock, Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd. Music was changed indelibly by his brief career. Piper at the Gates of Dawn and The Madcapper Laughs will remain as some of the most influential albums in history, and Barrett will endure as a legend. Wish you were here, Syd.

See The New York Times article for a wonderful homage to the late musician
