I'd love to be in a position to hear Syd's music again for the first time.

Which titles/albums would you recommend to a noob Beirut sama?

Take care, Syd. A bad day for music.

Start at the beginning. Pink Floyd's first album; The Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

Syd's music had lots of imagination, and (what someone else described as) charm and simplicity.

I'm late yet it still needs to be said, RIP Syd.

Can't believe I missed this thread.

RIP to Sid. Thanks for the music, fella.

So long, Syd

Back in the 70s as a punk I was obliged to hate the Floyd, but one day someone played "See Emily Play" for me. Okay I was a little under the influence at the time, but apparently I loved it so much I made them play it seven times in a row. That song is so fey, still gives me the flutters.

Anyway, it got me into Floyd.
