Magma's debut is the only prog debut that I prefer over the rest of a band's discography.

Agree with the above! I will have to dust off Oldfield and Arena as it has been too long...

My bad, I read "Best Prog" and nothing else ha.
'In The Court of the Crimson King' it has to be then.

I could count live albums but if I did there would be more than three since they had other live albums.

In The Court of the Crimson King looks like the runaway winner.
I think most prog bands needed some time to develop so their debut
album wasn't their best work but a stepping stone for what was to come.

Besides the obvious King Crimson album:
Alphataurus by Alphataurus (am I the only one who mentioned it?)
Back in the world of adventures by The Flower Kings
Camel by Camel
Depois Do Fim by Bacamarte
Haikara by Haikara
Paint a picture by Fantasy
Script for a jester's tear by Marillion
The Sentinel by Pallas
Note that I don't take into account studio albums by one-shot
groups such as Khan. also Pink Floyd's debut is very remarkable although psychedelic
not prog.

But that's not a prog rock album, it's a folk rock album. They became prog rock at the time of Lizard....

Classical music isn't dead, it's more alive than it's ever been. It's just not on MTV.

So I guess Trespass by Genesis isn't a prog rock album either. That's even more folkish than ITCOTCK.

They became prog rock when they released In the Court of the
Crimson King. A few folk rock touches could be said to be present only in one
song, Epitaph.

I'd say either The Mars Volta's "Deloused in the Cromatorium," Pain of Salvation's "Entropia," or maybe The Dear Hunter's "Act I."

one that hasn't been mentioned before Supertramp
BTW: I'm not counting one shots or bands that made only two or three albums in a short career. In some cases, their debut album is the best they made (IMHO), or still one of the best they've made In The Court of the Crimson King Phallus Dei Kobaia Camel Santana Inner Mounting Flame Caravan Spectrum ELP Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack Script For A Jester's Tear Hybris Vemod Pampered Menial Marburg Arbeit Macht Frei In Spite of Harry's Toe-nail Hatfield and the North Kansas Gentle Giant Electronic Meditation Monster Movie Queen Weather Report Leg End Atomic RoOoster Fish Rising Wishbone Ash Storia De Un Minuto

Progressive Music: In the Court Piper at the Gates (could be classified as mainly psychedelic, but whatever) Yes (self titled debut) Gentle Giant (self titled)
Non Prog: Are you experienced - Hendrix Blue Oyster cult (self titled) Led Zep 1 Black Snake Diamond Role - Robyn Hitchcock (obscure but amazing)
