Okay, then I’ll change it: Barrett, being a drug addict like all musicians, including Lennon, wrote only one album that caused a hell of a stir. If he hadn’t exaggerated and become completely idiotic, who knows what kind of mess he would have made. Lennon, as a drug addict, wrote a lot of beautiful things; he never became an idiot and even had time to do whatever he wanted, but he never reached the mental avant-garde level that Syd had, and Lennon got high just as much as Syd did before and during Piper. So, in a comparison of drug addicts, I choose Barrett. But excuse me, in the sixties who made music and didn’t do drugs? NO ONE, but Syd did it with Piper, and the others did not. Did he have a special pusher with a special drug? No, he used everyone else's drugs; however, he had extra talent.

Pure LSD is awesome, don't worry, even today's youth can find the good stuff. Anyway, and I’ll repeat it for the third time for clarity: I mean someone who can tie their shoes, who doesn't piss themselves, who speaks in coherent sentences. I used the wrong term because it can be misleading, but yes, he was getting high long before that, and he was getting really high, but he was healthy at first, then he went overboard and it took him down, said by someone who was with him back then, not something I read in Rolling Stones: Roger says it. If his best friend says it, I believe it, but of course, I wasn’t there and can’t guarantee it :)

Oh, but really take a look at it, I’m not saying it like “nyah nyah I have it and you don’t,” just look at it, it’s awesome: they analyze the music of the sixties from A to Z, too bad it’s only in English but they don’t use any fancy terms, it’s really understandable. Then there are lots of nice anecdotes like “during that live performance he even forgot the lyrics of Bike because he was in such bad shape those days.” It’s white, there’s Syd on the cover, and it’s called something like Another Side Of The Moon or something like that.

<<<< If he had really been in his right mind SIN FROM PIPER, without acids and drugs>>>> SORRY WHO EVER TALKED ABOUT ACIDS AND DRUGS? NOT ME. Did you watch the DVD? No, because otherwise you wouldn't be talking like this. By healthy I mean: someone who can tie his shoes. After Piper... he couldn't tie his shoes. He really couldn't, I'm not exaggerating. And why couldn't he? Because with the money from Piper he ate the impossible. And how do I know this? Because I watched the DVD, and his friends Floyd say it, not just assumptions. Watch the DVD, they tell you straight out: HE EXAGERATED AND LOST HIS MIND. He was a junkie like EVERYONE, then he became mentally ill.

Then: Barrett did the first things while he was healthy, success went to his head. Watch the DVD of his story before spouting nonsense like you usually do. It's obvious you don't even know what you're talking about because of one thing: you've misspelled his name four times. You don't even know who Barrett is, but you enjoy going against me, and it's fine because I have fun, but avoid bullshit like "if you change the arrangement"... am I? EMI?
Voto:
Ah well, if you change the arrangement who cares. What I wanted to point out is exactly what you confirm: the Beatles focused on melody, Barrett focused on sound, Barrett looked ahead, something that others hadn't done yet, except for a few super experimental Germans, but they missed Barrett's melodies. It's precisely because of the arrangement that I vote for Barrett; when I play Interstellar Overdrive, the arrangement is '67, not reworked.

Damn, I need to investigate, I thought I had everything... instead Demetrio messed it up for me... :D

<<<There's no impact>>> Since when does electronic ambient music need impact? And then, the first of the first, it definitely does have impact. Anyway, if you expect an album called "The Fragile" to have "Impact," you have logical connection issues. <<<<there's no compelling melody>>>> Since when does industrial need melody? Besides, it's so full of melody that even Radiohead fans can enjoy it. <<<There's no expression of melancholy>>> Huh? Am I talking to myself, but myself is slipping away - the day the world went away - Where is everyone? - The Fragile - ... and there's no melancholy here? An intro of 40 seconds of solo piano played at 10 bpm and there's no melancholy? Hearing problems, brothers, guaranteed.

Lennon disappears in comparison to Barrett. Lennon is a god, but Barrett created psychedelia, electronics, Barrett saw BEYOND, while Lennon thought about his present. You play Interstellar Overdrive to someone who doesn't know it, you tell them it's from 2004 (I did it) and people believe you. You play the Beatles and people tell you: SIXTIES. Barrett went mad after the first album; if he had kept his mind together, who knows what the hell he would have invented, considering that WITH A SINGLE ALBUM (with all his mental faculties, he made only one) he created an incredible mess. Lennon never dared to look further than his years, how many albums? nine? ten? So, in front of Syd's galactic insights, he has to step aside. Sure, we are talking about two TITANS, but I think Syd is slightly more of a titan. In fact, let's drop the slightly.

Demtrio you heard it with "I Ribelli": the hits were "Pugni Chiusi" and "Chi Mi Aiuterà".
