Can anybody play Pink Floyd solos?

What do you people think of Syd Barett? I listened to Piper At the Gates of Dawn and thought he was overrated compared to later Pink Floyd with Gilmour. I sold that CD shortly after buying it.

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?

I guess I need to check out his solo stuff. The weird thing is that I got this magazine a few months ago about the 100 best guitar players of all time. It had Syd Barett in there under the "Madmen" section. It said Piper at the Gates of Dawn was his best work.
