Trully a sad day for any early Pink Floyd fan. I loved to hear his hits like Arnold Layne, Bike, and See Emily Play. Its wierd how he could do so many drugs and die of diabetes.

Damn,
even though he was Mr "Lets-Take-Acid-And-Write-Music"! the tunes Floyd made when he was on board were still pretty awesome

I stand where Andrew stands on this, I hear alotta about them but have never turned into a real fan of theirs infact to be honest the only track I identify as Pink Floyd would be Another Brick In The Wall, I've heard more of them but simply don't associate some songs with them due to my lack of listening and interest in them.

RIP.

I love all of there songs. I have every cd they made. Barret was responsible for "Piper At the Gates of Dawn" "and Early Singles"
