Meddle is not better than Wish, Animals, or this, but it's close. I think I prefer it to The Wall.
Echoes is too amazing.

well they distance themselves from the glaringly bad aspects of prog, and since the label has had a negative connentation post 70s people tend to want to remove it from them. i dont really give a fuck either way though

I just call them art rock, they aren't really prog in the way that bands like King Crimson, Camel, and Yes are imo

That's interesting, don't think I've ever heard someone refer to Floyd as art rock & 'not really prog'... if we're solely comparing them to those other bands then I can see what you mean (although I'm not familiar with Camel).
The (usually misinformed) mainstream consensus would be that Floyd is prog & any suggestion to the contrary would be scoffed at. I don't have the knowledge to form a confident opinion, just thought it was worth noting.

I'm pretty sure calling Floyd art rock has been pretty common among music listeners as an alternative to progressive rock, which they're most commonly called. A lot like myself feel that they're progressive and groundbreaking in numerous ways, but aren't really a prog rock band in the sense that the bands are that I mentioned.
A lot of prog bands do things that aren't really present in Floyd's music; it's hard to explain. Floyd are kind of the opposite of technical wankery and flashy instrumental soloing that lots of prog bands go into imo. They also don't genre-bend or use numerous other instruments on their albums the way prog bands have been known to do.
Floyd just stand out from the prog scene to me in a lot of ways. The biggest similarity I see are that they do some 10+ minute long songs with multiple movements, and have made concept albums with the songs flowing into each other.
From a certain point of view, Floyd have more in common with The Beatles ('65-70 era) than any prog band.

not sure how accurate it is, but ive always seen it as there being two distinct meanings to prog, either the term for the movement to bring a more artistic validity to pop rock, which was a stupid concept in retrospect but a huge part of rock's evolution, or the modern genre definition which is bands like Yes, Camel, EL & P, Gentle Giant etc. PF were part of the former but the genre now is more specific to the "look what we can do with out instruments" sound, which pf never really were imo

I don’t know about anyone else, but all the Pink Floyd i’ve Heard (73-79) just seemed like long form art pop. It seems to me that Floyd is only prog thematically.
