PF influenced by the Beatles?
I think that it is very hard to miss the Beatles influence in the Syd Barrett era PF. I like the early PF a lot, but my question is how much influence did the Beatles have on the early Floyd and do you think it left when Syd left?

I honestly don't hear a Beatles influence in their music. Maybe the influence was in the production of the music and the experimentation in the studio. Most of those groups at the time were heavily influenced by American blues artists in some way. I wonder if The Beatles were influenced at all by The Pink Floyd; weren't they in the studio together during the recording of Sgt Pepper/Piper?.

Careful!!!MikeWaters wrote:HA! Lennon's song writing was going downwards at an alarming pace, i dont think he couod make anything like animals or any other PF album. Havent you heard Beef Jerky?
Lennon was an increadible song writer/lyrisist. The fact that you didn't like his later stuff doesn't change the fact that his musical ability changed an entire generation. I agree with Pugs' comment. I would have to say that in my own opinion PATGOD has a serious resembelence to the current Beatles stuff at the time. But I also think that they didn't stick around that sound very long. I think that it was mostly a Syd thing. The more that I listen to PATGOD and SOS.... and Works for that matter... the more I have to say that Floyd quickly evolved into a completely different music style and form. The only thing that is the same is the expirimental feel of the music. (With a few exeptions on the before mentioned albums.)

i remember reading something about that Roger had said he wanted Dark Side to be more "dry" like Sgt. Pepper..... and my hero Dave said he wanted it to be more "colourful." Hmm who was right on that one?
its straight from memory, so the exact words (and even the album) might be off, but it shows that they DEFINITELY were influenced to some degree by the beatles.
