The first Pink Floyd record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, is a psychedelic classic
Syd made two incredible solo albums, The Madcap Laughs and Barrett. Both Roger Waters and Dave Gilmour took turns producing him solo, and Richard Wright played on Barrett.
One of the best loved Floyd albums is basically a tribute to Barrett. Wish You Were Here featured "Have A Cigar," which detailed the band's first meeting with EMI back in '67, and "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," a heartfelt tribute to Barrett.
Influenced by Syd: This Mortal Coil, Marc Bolan, David Bowie, The Jesus And Mary Chain, The Cure, Johnny Marr , My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields, Primal Scream, The Libertines, The Beta Band, Julian Cope, Robyn Hitchcock, The Flaming Lips, R.E.M., Mercury Rev, Blur
