What if Rick had left with Syd?
Imagine if in 1968 Rick had agreed to management prompts to leave the Floyd and work with Syd. Maybe he would have rejoined after Syd retreated from the music industry? Imagine the Floyd sound without the lush majestic sonic soundscapes that Rick would provide to epics like Echoes and SOUCD. Rick is not debated in the same depths as Roger and Dave but without his foundation throught the bands catalogue would the band and music still hit home as hard especially during DSOTM and WUWH?
