The music Sid made was not for everyone, but his contribution to humanity was hardly a waste. He is considered a pioneer in his art.

In fact, there's a story in there about how a bald fat man, kind of homeless-looking, sat in the studio for part of the recording of "Wish You Were Here" which was of course about Syd. The band didn't realize until after the man left that it actually WAS the once stereotypical "sexy frontman" Syd Barrett. He had declined that much in just about 6 years.

Schizophrenia. And that disease has other precursor diseases, like bipolar disorder etc.

This set of diseases are most often aggravated when psychotropic drugs such as LSD are introduced, but anything can trigger episodes at any point in a person's life. For example, poor nourishment can trigger these diseases and often does;

"BIPOLAR DISORDER



Individuals with bipolar or manic-depressive disorder often have an underlying imbalance of slow oxidation and often copper imbalance. In addition, they often have a four highs pattern on a hair test or others indicating extreme stress. The combination of these two traits leads to the common pattern of days of high energy followed by a period of very low energy and depression. This can be corrected in most cases with nutritional balancing science in a relatively short time of months, usually, and with relatively little difficulty if one is willing to follow the program carefully.



SCHIZOPHRENIA



Copper imbalance, mercury toxicity, manganese toxicity, cadmium toxicity and other imbalances are associated with schizophrenias. Most respond beautifully to balancing the body chemistry. Results can be fast, but may take longer if a person is far out of balance.



Copper and Schizophrenia. Joan, age 18, was a patient in Scottsdale Camelback Hospital with a diagnosis of schizophrenia. She responded poorly to medication and psychotherapy. Tissue mineral testing revealed a copper level of 40 mg%, about 15 times normal. Joan was placed on a diet and nutritional supplements to reduce tissue copper.

Her condition improved so radically she was released from all psychiatric care within six months, and returned to high school the following September. Excess tissue copper stimulates the biogenic amines, neurotransmitters associated with depression, anxiety, mood swings and schizophrenia. Copper imbalance is quite common but goes undiagnosed because the tissue mineral test is not often done. "

We know Alan Parsons was a huge contributor to Dark Side of the Moon. I believe he was credited as "engineer" but from what I've read he was doing alot of the producing due to the new and innovative "sounds" that he brought to the table. He carried that skill on to his own band. Always a front-runner.

He produced/co-produced Abbey Road and Let It Be for The Beatles too.

Rush is my prog rock go to band, burnt out of Floyd. Don't get me wrong, they are an amazing band and are responsible for some of the greatest music ever I just can't hear it anymore.

Love Queensryche, saw them last year (or what's left of the band) live here in Nashville.

I'm not clicking on that link because I think it'd piss me off even more than a lot of the posts in this thread have.

Pink Floyd is my favorite of the three prog bands in the thread title, fwiw.

Absolutely. In more ways than one.

Rush was my first concert (my sophomore year in HS). It was the Permanent Waves tour and I really liked that album (and still do). I wasn't a huge Rush fan though and only owned PW and 2112. I didn't like Tom Sawyer when it came out and fell away from listening to them after that.

My 18 year old son has really gotten into classic rock and I bought him 2112 and Rush's latest greatest hits CD to give him a taste of what they are like. I like hearing the songs again but I still probably wouldn't seek them out.

Pink Floyd's The Wall came out my soph year and I loved that album and about wore out my record. I still love that album though Wish You Were Here is my favorite PF album. I call myself a Pink Floyd fan but in reality I basically just like Meddle, Animals, Wish, The Wall and Dark Side. The Final Cut sucked, the post Waters stuff is okay but not great and I'm not enough of a prog fan to get into their early stuff (though I know most of the songs).

I didn't like Queensryche when they came out and haven't heard anything to change my mind.

I am not a big prog rock fan (never liked Yes or ELP) but I still have some records of some of the bands on that top 100 list like Uriah Heap and Eloy. Eloy is okay but I mostly bought the record because I liked the album art (the artist did a lot of metal album cover art in the 80's) and it was clear vinyl. :D

Alan Parsons was a staff engineer at Abbey Road Studios and worked on the Beatles' albums before DSOTM. He was already an accomplished pro and he brought plenty of skills to that PF album. The work was done at AR Studios.

There is some good video footage documenting that whole session. From the "crazy guy" vocal capture of the staff RM to the woman that, without tabs or any real musical guidance, nailed the maternal yet haunting female vocal during "the great gig in the sky". More here;

The early Floyd stuff isn't prog, it's psychedelia.
