Most people argue about whether Roger Waters or David Gilmour are the heart of Pink Floyd. And arguably both were at one point or another, But so was Syd Barrett. In fact he was the heart of the start. And so this pick highlights my favorites of the Barrett era Floyd and some of his solo work right after. He had some great songs and I love this era of the band. It started my love of psychedelic music. Just listen to the songs on here. Amazing! You can hear the beginnings of what will later be called classic Floyd in several of these tracks. Before anyone says anything about my comments about the heart of the band. I have to clarify. It really isn't any of these three guys. It was the two other guys (Rick and Nick) and you will be getting those picks coming soon. Although there is a case to be made that all of them had to go through what they did to be able to leave what is really three legacies. All of them good.
