Yeah, Pink Floyd is a bit of an acquired taste. I've listened to them all my life, but if I were just discovering them now, I probably wouldn't like them, either. My tastes(Prog Rock excepted) are quite simple musically. I like Blues, Punk Rock/Hardcore, and a handful of Prog bands such as King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator. I like variety in simplicity!! As for Floyd, I like David Gilmour's singing and guitar playing best.(until he started bashing Jagger/Richards, that is!!) I contend that if Syd hadn't tripped himself into a lunatic, he would not have had the legacy that he did, although Floyd were at their best overall when he was in the group. Gilmour was his replacement, but it took him a long time to fill Barrett's shoes. Oh, well. At least Syd did not die in the Ted Williams Tunnel!!!!!
