That's not it at all. Read the piece. What I said was that without Syd, that song would never have been written (likely) and quite possibly Floyd would have been a different band, if they had got together at all (don't forget Syd was a founder of the band). So I just referenced "Shine On" to illustrate that, and to justify - if it needed justification - the inclusion of an album which, while not in any real way proggy, is by one of the most important godfathers of prog, or at least of the band that could lay claim to that title.
Later on,
Islands will not be included, though
Radio KAOS et al will be, cos the former is not prog and the latter is. Are. Whatever.
