In regards to Syd Barrett its hard to say he is over appreciated (for lack of a better word). I think Pink Floyd did the right thing with the addition of Gilmore, but See Emily Play, and Astronomy Domine are certainly worthy of mention. I think Syd's best work is his solo stuff and would definitely not judge him based on Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Would you judge Waters from that album? I didn't hink so. If you have the time check out some Barrett MP3's from Morpheus (music city), I think you'll like them if your a Floyd fan. I think Syd's drug induced creativity is something lacking in modern day music, I can't say fro sure if that's good.

How about Layne Staley? Who thinks he's one of the best vocalist of all time beside me?
