From all this latest polls I have found that a lot of people believe that Bjork or Steely Dan are Prog but Pink Floiyd not

I don't like The Wall, but for me this album is progrock. No question about it. I think that album is nothing special, but I think the same about DSOTM, and WYWH. Just my opinion. I love Animals, though.

Prog, without a doubt. Doesnt mean its a good album though, average at best I'd say.
Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Agreed. For me, Steely Dan is better progrock than Pink Floyd, but SD never recorded so commercial progrock as DSTOM and WYWH albums are, and of course The Wall.

They're two entirely different bands though (and both were commercially successful). Pink Floyd often crated long and drawn out spacey-rock and Steely Dan crafted (quite intricate) song based jazz pop/rock.

Of course that they are different bands. So different that I like Steely Dan much more than Pink Floyd, and I think that Steely Dan' music is better, regarding entire catalogue by both.
I disagree that Steely Dan recorded so commercial albums as DSTOM, WYWH and The Wall. Those Pink Floyd albums were sold in so much copies than ANY other progrock band, be that "spacey - rock" or "jazz pop/rock", were sold entire catalogue.

Does that mean that because of it, Pink Floyd are "less prog"?

Haha, I've created quite a mess!
Once upon a time there was some writing on the wall we all ignored, until the time that there was war and feasts of famine at our door

Of course that not means that Pink Floyd is "less prog". Pink Floyd is an iconic progrock act for so many people worldwide, even for a crowd who never heard any other progrock band.
