.....yet on the other hand i dislike all that is Barrett...his stuff with PF was my introduction, thus took me years to get that crap out of my head before i gave Floyd another go.....
i just cant see what the fuss is with Syd Barrett, even heard one of his solo efforts whilst in the US at Music Head's place and neither of us liked it, though i did like it a bit more than he did

Listen to CH's recco Boy and Bear - Moonfire album...upbeat, fresh, melodic songs and lots of acoustic playing !!!!!

Funny you mention TV on the Radio, Matt ! I did a review of sorts on Nine Types of Light on a MD thread awhile ago praising this group !!!! one of the best 2011 releases!!!

anyways-TV on the Radio might be what your looking for SteveO. They're most certainly not straight ahead, far from it actually, but I feel that cappture the spirit of a lot 70's rock artists like Bowie and Eno, in the sense that they're a creative art rock band who try as many exciting things as they can. And melodies, boy do they have them
