The whole album is based on Syd Barret going crazy due to psychedelics overuse....

Still think there are more obvious choices in their catalog. "Nobody Home" springs to mind.

Syd inspired them, sure, but DSOTM is pretty universal - I think Roger said the concept was "pressures of modern life" and that's how they started putting ideas together.

That was the wall and it was the pressures of fame and being a rock star.

DSOTM was a slow slide into mental illness
