I still think that Dark Side and Wish You Were Here were both overwhelmingly psychedelic despite having elements that you might subscribe to a prog band, and
I guess you could say those are their most progishest albums. However, I've always thought that Animals was one of the more inappropriately deemed prog album because I just don't think that concept albums and lengthy tracks belong only to prog.
I say that Pink Floyd is to prog as Alice in Chains is to grunge. Both are very widely regarded as such, but both seem to miss very key elements of the genre that they're supposedly a part of.

I really needed that.

Bottom line is, you can disbelieve it all you want, but prog wouldn't be prog without the real pioneers of prog and its customs, customs which Pink Floyd did better than most bands during the 70's.

Ignore my point about how you can influence a genre without being a part of it again, please. I really love it when you do things like that.
