Pink Floyd became a typical stadium rock band after Roger Waters left. Nothing against David Gilmour, but Pink Floyd lacked the dynamic tension without Waters - though Waters didn't help matter by developing into a megalomaniac & thusly Final Cut is simply depressing.
But - regarding Syd or Dave, it's just too close to call in my view. Obviously Pink Floyd wouldn't exist without Barrett, but Pink Floyd wouldn't sound like it does without Gilmour.
