Lets say that in 1969 The Beatles are working on Get Back, however, EMI is not satisfied with the results and its put on the shelf indefinintley. Not wanting to give up ANY Beatlese material, being the money-grubbing corporation they are, they bring in an up and coming Syd Barrett, recently severed from his former group, feeling that The Beatles are ageing. EMI bring Barrett in to prevent The Beatles from becoming a dinosaur act. Through doing this The Beatles are given a sort of defacto George Martin, albeit one less organized, to enhance their sound and also do what George did by making decisions that would otherwise start fights. Thus, Barrett unknowingly prevents The Beatles break-up and in turn his confidence is brought up and he goes into the studio to become an enormously successful artist, leaving his former band in obscurity. In 1972 Bassist Roger Waters hands over six songs and an album title which was intended to be made by his band but they disbanded, realizing they couldn't make it without their former leader. The songs are titled Breathe, Time, Money, Us And Them, Brain Damage, and Eclipse. Barrett sees the complexities his former friend intended and hands them over to The Beatles, whom name the album along with some songs cooked up by other members, If You Wanna Sing The Blues, Imagine, Band On The Run, Beware The Dark, How Do You Sleep? (a song directed at Barrett's former bandmates), and three songs penned by Syd, Effervescing Elephant, Bob Dylan Blues, and Terrapin. As for Waters' lyrics, they choose different members to sing them.

Breathe is song by all 4 of them in harmony
Time verses 1 and 3 by Paul and 2 and 4 by John
Money by Paul
Us And Them by John
Brain Damage verses 1 and 3 by George and 2 and 4 by Ringo
Eclipse by all four in harmony

Pretty wicked, huh?

No. Just no. I absolutely love the Beatles, but it kills EVERYTHING.

You have a very interesting mind, AndersonCouncil. How do you come up with this stuff??

My, you have a comprehensive history of music, as well as an inventive mind for possible events. I must say, if this ONLY could have happened...

Hmm, that would've been nice, but it too would've killed the Pink Floyd that we love. For instance, Wish You Were here wouldn't have came out, and all the other emotions and thoughts regarding insanity would've been shelved. Or never would've existed...

Would Lennon and McCartney really listent to Syd? And would they really accept songs from another writer later in their career? Plus, I don't get the stuff about George Martin. And what about the Yoko factor? Okay, I know it's a what if, but still.

I don't know if they would lsten to Syd, but the Beatles and the Pink Floyd were, if at the very least, well aquainted. I mean, they did record their albums about two studios down from the Beatles. I mean, the Beatles even said that the Piper album sounded incredible.
