I dont “hate it” but off all the pink floyd tracks there is a single one i just can’t listen to.
Its “Bike” from the Piper at the Gates of dawn.
Take in mind that every other song in this same albums are part of my absolute favorite pieces of music. I love Syd Barrett era of pink Floyd, own many ancient bootlegs, alternative recordings, Syds solo albums and the entire “have you gotten it yet” set which was not easy to find
In general syd barrett is something you need to learn to appreciate, and i do, all of it, with bike being the exception that proves the rule.
I'm pretty sure he did that on purpose just to drive you mad.
It worked, in some ways i am as mad as the piper was himself.
Also i feel honored now.
It sounds like a sarcastic cover of something the early Beatles threw away.
i just listened to that track and it is aggressively hostile to ears
