Re: best song off of 'Piper at the gates of dawn'

The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is one hell of a good album. Tracks that stand out are Lucifer Sam, Matilda Mother, Chapter 24 and Bike (for me that is). Lucifer Sam gives me an amazing visionary of a black cat crawling over fences under the moonlight. Matilda Mother reminds me of being in a boat just cruising slowly down a river in the middle of nowhere just dreaming away. Chapter 24 is very good. I voted for it. I love the mystical, magical side to it and the lyrics are wonderful (Yes, I do know they are from I Ching) and Bike is a great track especially when at the end, one imagines themselves entering Syd's head and hearing the clockwork and all these random trippy sounds.

Syd only made one of those albums

Such a f*****g waste of talent......
