Jupiter and Saturn, Oberon, Miranda and Titania. Neptune, Titan, Stars can frighten. Blinding signs flap, flicker flicker flicker blam, pow pow. Happy Birthday Syd Barrett (1/6/1946 - 7/7/2006) Epic single from Pink Floyds highly acclaimed debut LP, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn (1967). Barrett, a true genius & perhaps misunderstood was a master at blending elements of Pop & Psychedelia on the bands early singles with acid-induced complex lyrics. Floyds Shine On You Crazy Diamond from the LP Wish You Were Here (1975) is just one of many tributes for the tortured artist. Barrett is ranked #58 on SPIN Magazines 100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time list
