Early Pink Floyd was different yes, in the sense that they were one of the first English Psychedelic rock acts. Jefferson Airplane and other US bands were already doing Barretts kinda thing a few years earlier.

Barretts discography is very small. And while theres some excellent songs in there like See Emily Play and Astronomy Domine and Octopus. Theres nothing in there that suggests to me this man was a genius, and certainly not a bigger talent than Waters, Gilmour or even Wright.

Post Syd Floyd had a lot of songs I think overall were more brilliant than anything Barrett has done, like Echoes, Dogs and Shine On You Crazy Diamond.

Sgt. Peppers dosen't sound anything like Pink Floyd, maybe they inspired it somewhat. But I think Sgt Peppers owes more to Pet Sounds and Freak Out than anything else.
