"Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey"

Just completed reading "Saucerful of Secrets: The Pink Floyd Odyssey" by the late-Nicholas Schaffner.  A very informative book on the foremost band to expound on its psychedelic foundation and still dominate the musical line-up of classic rock radio around the world.  There are a couple of drawback that tend to bog down the reader.  Schaffner gives an obsessive amount of pages to the rise and fall of Syd Barrett with unrelenting details on his eventual slip from the realities of this world.  The other is the often childish row between Roger Waters and the rest of the world.  Fortunately, there is a wealth of information and insight into the evolution of the band's creativity and thinking.  The behind the scenes perspective of the world's most iconic bands is well worth the read.
