And that's why I'm loving it...

Dark Side Of The Moon is a brilliant album, though whether it's a prog masterpiece is open to debate.
The Wall is Roger Waters whining about how awful it is being a rich, famous rock star. The only good tune was written by Dave Gilmour, who inexplicably decided to play exactly the same solo on every track on the album. If The Wall had been released by any band other than Floyd it would be seen as the plodding, meretricious, sub Andrew Lloyd Webber drivel that it truly is and would be as popular as radioactive dog's eggs.

DSOTM, by far. The Wall has never meant anything special for me.. Pink Floyd made at least five better albums than The Wall.

DSOTM is a stronger, more concise album. The Wall has great moments, mostly musically, like Gilmour's classic "Comfortably Numb" and "Hey You", and other small parts.
Still I prefer Animals, Meddle, A Saucerful... and the last two over all the rest.

Darkside.
I never really cared for the Wall. Besides all the hits/singles off of it, I never really like the rest.

And what it comes to WYWH, there is Shine on You Crazy Diamond, then there is Welcome to the Machine and that's all about it. |
Surely that's about 60% of the album anyway?

Uh..?
First bear in mind that Shine takes up something close to half the album! (edit: as has been pointed out already, I really should read the rest of the posts sometimes!) And you seem to be forgetting the title track

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.
