Barrett write some nice wee tunes but the driving force in the band has always been Waters,there was a lot of crap on the early albums under the guise of being progressive..sid was a 3/4 minute pop song writer..Roger Waters was the genius until his ego took over..

Yea, I agree with you. Sid had genius that hadn't bloomed yet. But, it's rediculous when someone says they're a pre-Dark-Side fan, as if they are true connossiors of progressive rock. I've fallen asleep listening to Echoes more than once.
