The Original Pink

The reclusive founder of Pink Floyd somehow made it to the age of 60, before he recently passed away from undisclosed causes. Syd joins the ranks of Keith Richards for those who defy the odds of living into their adult years based on their healthy lifestyles. While Syd did not last too long with Pink Floyd, he was instrumental in creating one of the British powerhouses, so I will pay my respects. Pink Floyd has always scared me, and Syd's influence may have something to do with it. Despite the chills I get just thinking about The Wall, Pink Floyd remains high on my best bands list, and I must give props to their founder.
