I don't want to take anythig away from the Beatles, and still consider them the best band, but I would never call them the only reason music advanced in the 60s.

Barret was good, but Floyd really took off creatively when Barret went nuts and Waters took over the band.
I just want to say that I never meant to downplay Barret. When I said the band took off when Waters took over, I didn't mean they went from bad to good, I meant they went from great to absolutely astounding. Meddle showed the potential and Dark Side showed the greatness like no ther record. Wish You Here was another masterpiece the Wall is simply incredible.

Wish You Here was another masterpiece the Wall is simply incredible.yeah, i get you. agree on everything you said about those albums. i just think if Barret had stayed they wouldīve come out with different shit, but personally i think it would have classified as absolutely astounding, too. just the way i see it
