Definately not, since both albums were basically based around his leaving. But he defined their sound, allowing them to do something different.

Wow, just wow. I actually think this is about the only celebrity death that upsets me a little. Syd(Roger) Barret has been such a huge influence in music. His cutting edge style is what gave Pink Floyd enough creativeness to become extremely successfull. He will be missed.

Left Nut City said: I can only hope that as a result of this Waters/Gilmour put aside their petty bitching and reunite for a Farewell to Syd tour.
That thought crossed my mind too.

I was going to upload Madcap Laughs but my computer has gone wacko on me.It is the most poetic album ever. there is nothing else like it out there.His ability to make you experience what he was feeling and show you his world was truly rare.
Someone in OTD uploaded one song from it though http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5846608#Post5846608

Sad day indeed, His music being such an intricate part of my life. I'm part of the generation that grew up with his music less than 5 years after he made it. His music always exuded a child-like inspiration that grounded me when adult life took it's emotional toll on me.
I just want to say that no other musician, short of a few beatle songs, influenced my life as much as he did. I feel truly blessed that he touched my life in the way that he did.

Id rather have met him than any other 60s legend, save possibly Bob Dylan. And tried to work out wat th fck was going on in his head.
