I'm sorry to hear about his death - but was he really a "genius"?

According to the Chairman of the Board (Frank Sinatra), the only "genius" in the pop music industry was Ray Charles.

Listen to Piper at the Gates of Dawn and tell me he wasn't a genius.

Ah shit man, he was one of my favorites...

I bet he'll become more infamous now than ever, bringing a whole new wave of fans maybe.

its hard for a lot of people to grasp that sort of music. I for one agree with you.

Goodbye Syd

He was probably one of my favourite artists, with Piper at the Gates of Dawn being one of my favourite albums. (get the lyrics to the songs on that album, no one else wrote like that) Truly an unfortunate event
