If anything Lynne is UNDERRATED.
Peart isn't really a songwriter, just a lyricist. It's Lee and Lifeson who write the actual music most of the time.
Barrett is great but he is indeed overrated, I'm so f*cking sick of everyone bitching about how Floyd were only good with Barrett, suck my d*ck you hipster c*nts. Waters and Gilmour pwn Barrett so much as songwriters it's ridiculous that people even bother comparing.

Actually I should have just said Morrissey. The Smiths are excellent (but still overrated IMO) but what solo Morrissey I've heard was pretty terribad. So I'm giving Marr most of the credit for The Smiths' success.
