The topic of Syd Barrett's songs and songs about him are commonly considered to be about reclusion, since it is easy to find his name among the most famous recluses. Such reclusions often coincide with speculative diagnoses of mental illness and being controversial, leading to consider it as a topic also about drugs, which played a role both in his personal life as well as in the psychedelic music style. Some of which his works are considered milestones, like the Pink Floyd instrumental "Interstellar Overdrive". Until now, Syd Barrett owes his notoriety to the famed and long-lasting band Pink Floyd, in spite of the fact that he left the band not even a year after the launch of their first single "Arnold Layne". This left them only the first album of their discography and being able to release under serious difficulties only part of his repertoire in a couple of solo albums which failed to chart, though their artistic value is still under discussion (see the Syd Barrett discography). However, the comparison fails looking for songs about the other members of the band. In 1975 the Pink Floyd album ''Wish You Were Here'' became one of the most popular screeds against music business, and the theme of the loss of Syd Barrett, which permeate the whole album, is not just a collection of songs about a colleague. In more recent times, with the decline of the record industry, and the changes about the music business, such a topic has become somehow current. The following list testifies that the Syd Barrett topic is often not about alienation, reclusion, or just about some contempt for conformism, nor just about his specific experiences with the music business, but more often it hides the topic of the admiration for the unpretentious majesty of an old music emerging from the dust, that is destined to be considered his main legacy for the future. ==Table of the songs== This is a table of songs by notable musicians, where a reliable source has confirmed the connection with Syd Barrett. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of songs about or referencing Syd Barrett」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
