I'm kind of a Beatles obsessed fan myself, but still I'd never give them credit for things they never did. I think their overall influence is often overrated.

Do you need a poll to figure 1966 comes before 1967?

 Paul McCartney regarded Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band as The Beatles' Freak Out![32] However, Zappa criticized the Beatles, as he felt they were "only in it for the money".[33]

I guess you mean 'first prog concept album' (because otherwise others like the musicals West Side Story or Hair were earlier concept albums, not to mention classical themed albums as Holst's The Planets or all the Operas).
And Days Of Future Past is not a prog-rock album in my book (a couple of orchestrations and recurrent themes do not make prog-rock, otherwise the aformentioned musicals would be prog-rock albums as they had also both). So you have my answer.

Like everyone else, I go with Days.  McCartney wanted Sgt. Peppers to be a concept, but the band quickly abandoned the project and we got a mix of an unfulfilled project with various songs.  Could this be one of the first signs of the tensions that eventually broke them up?  The Beatles were always about the songs anyway, and a whole concept album was something they had a very difficult time with.  The concept of Days may be a simple one, the passing of the times of day, but they pursued it successfully.  Both are classic five-star albums.
I like this post in particular. I always felt that SPLHCB was at least the start of Lennon's disinterest in the group and also felt  that tensions actually surfaced after the debacle with the Maharishi in India, as was widely reported. Deep thinking as usual, Mr. Progosopher.
