Pink Floyd (band): Is Syd Barrett overhyped? If yes, why?
That's an interesting perspective. Do you think Barrett's influence on the band's early sound is still noticeable in their later work?
While the band took a different direction after Barrett's departure, I think his influence is still present in some of their later albums. For example, the song "Wish You Were Here" was written as a tribute to Barrett and bears similarities to some of his earlier work. Additionally, the use of experimental and unconventional sounds in Pink Floyd's later albums can be traced back to Barrett's influence.
