Thats just it. If Syd Barrett had still been around, there would be no 'Animals', 'The Wall', or maybe even no 'Dark Side of the Moon'. Instead, we would be listening to albums consiting of fairy-tales and nursery rhymes. Now I like Syd and all, but nothing he wrote was as complex or as deep as the stuff that Waters was spitting out. I wish Syd could have stuck around, but not as the main lyricyst--But who knows, just as Pink Floyd evolved throughout the seventies and became better, maybe Barrett could have done the same.
