    ^^^What is your favorite, solo, Syd Barrett song? I am quite partial to "Lets Roll Another One" and "Whined and Dined".

    'Here I Am' and 'Dark Globe'. I love 'Octopus' and 'Opel', too. Syd was a genius. R.I.P.

    Wow, I wish I'd'a caught that one. Too bad I'm in The States. Octupus is a great song.

    Wawing my arms in the air is maybe my favourite song. It's a very beautiful lyric.

    I love the solo Syd's Song, Terrapin, Love song, Octopus, Feel, Birdie hop and more.

    Syd were a genius, my best musician

    "No Good Trying" is one of my favorites, but there are many other good ones too.

    Yeah tis a great song, but its not solo it was recorded with Pink Floyd but it was decided afterwards it was too odd of a song for them to release.

    Right now my favorite is "Octopus", but I probably haven't heard all of his solo stuff. So it might change :)
