About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Pink Floyd followed the commercial breakthrough of Dark Side of the Moon with Wish You Were Here, a loose concept album about and dedicated to their founding member Syd Barrett. The record unfolds gradually, as the jazzy textures of "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" reveal its melodic motif, and in its leisurely pace, the album shows itself to be a warmer record than its predecessor. Musically, it's arguably even more impressive, showcasing the group's interplay and David Gilmour's solos in particular. And while it's short on actual songs, the long, winding soundscapes are constantly enthralling. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

The band's most personal albumby Anonymous

August 17, 2007: This album came about as a tribute to the fallen Syd Barrett, the founding member of Pink Floyd. In June 1975, as they were mixing the album, Syd paid a visit to Abbey Road studios, shocking and saddening those who came across him. He had changed his appearance so drastically, he was barely recognizable. This is what makes Wish You Were Here a more poignant record. Shine on You Crazy Diamond could almost be biographic for Syd. Wish You Were Here reminisces about him. Add in the caving pressure of the record company (Welcome to the Machine, Have a Cigar), you have a brilliant concoction. The whole album is a document of the band's rise to fame and their fallen pilot's plight.
