Waters and Gilmour are both better songwriters and composers in pretty much every way, in addition to being better musicians as well.
I love Barrett era Floyd, but I think calling Barrett a genius is taking it way too far.

Of course it isnt. Astronomy Domine is one of the Floyds best tracks ever and it easier to judge a musical career over many years. Syd's contribution sonically was a year. What a year that is.
Barrett was a genius because he looked at musical forumale froma completely different view point. His stamp is still; even post-Waters, all over Pink Floyd even now.
