Syd Barret/Pink Floyd

anyone think if Barret didnt lose his marbles and stayed in the band that Pink Floyd still would of made an album to the quality of Dark Side of the moon?

im currently listening to "Piper at the gates of dawn"

I think they would've made a couple more albums but they would've been long forgotten by now as a "psycedelic" band from the 60s. Roger would never have written more stuff because he wouldn't have to, and Gilmour would never have joined the band.

Its a bit like asking whether Fleetwood Mac would have ever made an album as good as Rumours if Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks hadny joined the band.

The answer is, probably no.

they still use Syd's name trying to flog of Floyd albums in my local record bargain bin. "these prices are crazier than Syd!"
