BTW I downloaded some of the old Floyd with Syd Barrett and I was suprised by how good it was. It is a lot different than the stuff most people associate with the band. Very melodic and some pretty trippy music. Syd has a very good voice too.
The sound of the music kind of reminds me of the Doors in the way the instruments sound, but the singing and ambience is all Floyd.
Try these songs out..........

This is the ULTIMATE PF incarnation. The original lineup was when the band were at their most experimental and when they were truly on the cutting edge of rock music. Sometimes I like to think what may have come of the band have Syd remained the artistic driving force behind the band for even another 5 years or so.
Anyway, back to the question. I think DSOTM is more representative of that incarnation of the band. It was recorded when they were still a "band" rather than a backing group for Roger. The Wall is an amazing work, but it was essentially the work of Roger Waters (though what may be the signature song is a Gilmour piece in essence). All 4 members were heavily involved in the production of DSOTM and the sum of their creative energies resulted in that masterpeice.
