Why do you consider The Wall the most proggish?

The Wall is practically a prog opera, and features the greatest demonstration of their musicianship IMO. Their other work is less proggy in that it is repetitive and less virtuosic, and the others also don't contain as much of a story as The Wall.
The post-rock element comes out of the fact that songs like Shine On You Crazy Diamond or Echoes progress in a fashion similar to post-rock.
