What's interesting to me is that Pink Floyd's best albums according to prog lovers are their "poppiest" ones.

If you haven't heard them already, Atom Heart Mother and Meddle. I also suggest Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii.

Dark Side of the Moon is largely a pop album by definition. The same is true for much of The Wall and Wish You Were Here.

Not so much in my book. Nevertheless, what's unusual to prog fans considering them PF's best albums?

Pink Floyd's sound changed a lot over the years, first very psychedelic/space rock, but starting with Dark Side they sound like "normal" prog, much more composed.You have to look around a bit to see what era you like.

Because had another band without the reputation made those very same albums, I suspect none of them would even be regarded as progressive rock at all.

No man, what's the problem with "best albums"?  Why wouldn't proggers treat DSOTM as Floyd's best if they find it (prevalently) so?
|
Are we misunderstanding each other?

Seems so.
Must PF's "best albums", according to prog lovers, be prog?

I consider almost all of Pink Floyd's work to be prog...however, what I said was, most prog lovers find their poppiest work to be their greatest.
Prog and pop are not mutually exclusive.

Ok, so it was an observation you made, not raising an issue.
Good.
PF travelled through a lot, and it is my opinion that mostly everything up to the Wall connects in some way (i.e. more or less, but mostly a lot) to prog rock.

No, not raising an issue...just an observation- one I happen to share (Animals, Dark Side of the Moon, and The Final Cut are my favorite Pink Floyd albums).
