He died way too young. His voice was awesome and fit their music so well.
Meddle is one of my favorite Floyd albums.

Love Meddle. “Fearless” is one of my favorites. “Echoes” too of course. I love that album. When I’m writing code and need to get in the zone, I frequently go to Meddle.
I think Seamus is one of the few songs I never really liked much.
This has become one of my favorite PF songs. I thought David wrote it, as he has performed it on his solo tours, but Roger wrote it.
Wot’s....Uh The Deal?

Probably the most talented frontman there was. And no slouch on guitar. Could do any style of music and kill it.
Another great Floyd album.
“And the wind cried Mary!”

Mine too. Then I listen to Animals and change my mind. Then I listen to Dark Side and change my mind. So it goes for The Wall, Wish You Were Here, and even The Final Cut. Heck, sometimes Division Bell is my favorite (except Keep Talking).
And there was a lot of hints that Marriott and Frampton were going to do something together, if not resurrect Humble Pie, before Marriott’s death.
Obscured By Clouds…

Echoes is an incredible piece of music. I have been listening to it since I first bought the album back in 19700000something.
So glad that Gilmour and Richard got to perform Echoes that one last time before Richard passed. Their two voices blended so well on those early PF albums.
This is a great Richard Wright song, from the early days.

Great album. The live version of Astronomy Domine on this one is my favorite and I think was actually sang by Syd Barrett although he had been out of the band for over a year when Ummagumma was released.
For any Roger Waters fans check out Music From the Body. It was a sound track he did with Ron Geesin in 1970. Very innovative and obscure.
