I heard so much about Syd's legend, I never actually heard his muzak until about 6 weeks ago! ...and what a MINDBLAST his stuff is. Awesome, awesome, eccentric-pop as a poite word, but serious, undisputed English songwriting genius full-stop, yadda-yadda.
It immediately hit me, how 'Beatleseque' Syd's songwriting was, though they were of the same vintage, that tag may fit. So in the sceme of things who gets the UK heavyweight songwriting nob for sheer great songs, great sounds, great lyrics, work improves over time AND influential on the course of modern pop (and of course, 'genius')..
Syd..or John?
