#1 Sad to read this. From what I've gathered, his appetite for coke caused problems during the "Wall" period, but I always felt his keyboards were key to the Floyd "sound" and his immense musical contributions were overshadowed by the larger-than-life personalities of Waters and Gilmore. Rest in peace, Rick.

#2 Indeed - RIP. The keyboard work on Shine On You Crazy Diamond still ranks as some of my all time favorite.

#3 I've been a fan of pre-Animals Pink Floyd since, well, long before they released Animals. Loved his work on Ummagumma, Obscured By Clouds, Meddle, Dark Side, and Wish You Were Here.
