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.

Again you're confusing influence with talent.

I agree 100%

"piper at the gates of dawn" and "saucerful of secrets" are both great albums but not even close some of the other psychedelic rock albums of that era, like "sgt. pepper's lonely hearts club band" or "surrealistic pillow"

U have a Piper username and quote Surrealistic Pillow BETTER than Piper?

Piper is even better SGT. PEPPERS. Just becauses it's not as popular dosen't mean anything.

EDIT by boo boo: Oops, sorry jack, I tried to quote you and accidently edited your post.

I don't really like comparing Syd Barrett to Roger Waters. I've just never found them very comparable musically. To me it's always been like saying "Well Husker Du is better than Yes" it's like uh okay. Of course Syd vs. Roger is a bit less radical but you get the idea.

Yes, I do believe that surrealistic pillow is better than piper, and piper is not even close to sgt.pepper's. Syd Barret was great, but his music has nowhere near the depth or complexity that lennon/mccartney's does.

I think you're underrating how good Piper at the Gates of Dawn is and how much of an impact it had. Besides Syd Barrett's music has more depth to it than half the Beatles stuff.
