Inclusion criteria

[edit]

To prevent this list from growing without bounds, the inclusion criteria that I adapted from the original author's are as follows:

  1. The song must be by a notable musician/band. This almost always means they will have a Wikipedia article already.
  2. There must be a reliable, third party, source for the connection with Syd Barrett, and the connection must be more than just a trivial one. Claims by the song writer of a connection are OK, but the claims must have been published by a third party as well. Gigs (talk) 14:39, 28 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Pink's Song" (Richard Wright)

[edit]

The statement that this song is "visibly" about Barrett seems to be opinion rather than fact, and contradicts a statement in an interview by Wright that the lyrics (written by his then-wife Juliette) were about a friend of theirs, coincidentally named Pink, who was at one stage a tutor to their children.
