WELCOME

Thanks for visiting this wiki of the official Syd Barrett Website. One of the most influential musicians in British pop history, he was as appreciated as much for his iconoclastic approach to the electric guitar as for his adventurous and imaginative songwriting.


A co-founder of Pink Floyd, he was also quintessentially English, penning idiosyncratic and unique songs, while, along with Ray Davies, was probably responsible for a whole generation of musicians feeling that it was acceptable not to be American and to develop their own indigenous band of rock music.

Please take some time to explore his songs on the first two Pink Floyd albums or his solo recordings, or enjoy some of his paintings, by clicking on the 'Art' heading below. You are also welcome to comment every page in this webstite by clicking on the 'discussion' link above, or read what others have written on our old Guest Book.


Syd died in July 2006 from complications arising from diabetes, but he is not forgotten.
