    War Babies - Hall & Oates. From 1974, loving it to bits, although Atlantic hated it so much, they chucked them off the label!

    Produced and engineered by Todd Rundgren, who handles backing vocals and plays guitar throughout. Two members of his band Utopia are also on it, so Rundgren's influence is all over it. Which is probably why I like it so much. Because Todd is Godd.

    Just heard the programme The Twilight World of Syd Barrett on Radio 4 (sadly not available in iPlayer).  That's set me up for a bit of a Floyd Fest today.
    The program is available on the BBC site  http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b011plrs

    Great programme to a man that was an inspiration to many, and a one of!.
    He could dabble in the pop world and stride the progressive rock scene like few others......
    I went to Camberwell art school in 66/67 when Syd was there,( well for a couple of hours) but I was a sixth former doing art at the Saturday morning art class, to  do still life drawing classes, but in all honesty I think i went there to
    chat up the woman!......
    Great character  from the time!, and so  so sad!

    Very sad Ken, all the more so since his light only shone for a brief spell.
    One album of psychedelic magnificence and beautiful and touching evocations of childhood; not forgetting his gift for a great melody.
    Anybody who doesn't have a tear in their eye after listening to Matilda Mother didn't have a childhood.

    I know there are Syd freaks who rave about the songs on Madcap and Barrett, but although there are flashes, to me they are basically demos by a man who had lost his vitality and spark and the focus to work them into a polished gem.
    "Inside me I feel, alone and unreal". Hear it and weep

    And, See Emily Play is one of the top 5 records ever.

    Totally agree six.
    'Emily' is a brillant pop record, Syd could turn his hand to most things I always felt.
    If you look at the UFO club video it was at the other dimension.
    Looking back, as I often do these days........ he was essentially the essence of Floyd.
    I saw Floyd several times,( Hyde park/Earls court) and there music really was part of the soundtrack of my youth.
    Although I was a blues/guitar fanactic there were so many casualties that got swept aside during those late 60s/70s, or simply burnt too brightly.
    Good to see Syd remembered though.

    I personally prefer his dad. Heck, I even like his Starsailor album, which could scare small children.
