In The Court Of The Crimson King is the first fully formed prog album IMHO, lots of elements came before on some very good albums but this is ground zero.

Caravan, Soft Machine, The Nice, The Moody Blues, Pink Floyd and Frank Zappa(or his representatives at least)are on their way to your house and want to have a word with you. WinkLOL

I agree KC had the first "official"(or the one that first gave the scene a lot of attention) prog album but it's certainly debatable if there was any "true" prog before it or not. For example on this site you will see many albums(and bands) that predate "court" that aren't considered proto prog.

Mine probably was Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Still a great album to listen to!

I agree, unless something has changed in the definition of prog......the albums are the same.

That post is from ten years ago. People are allowed to mention it again. If newer members want to discuss it they can't because older posts tend to be closed and therefore no one can reply to them.

What was the first Album that is prog and not proto-prog.  Is their an album that invented the basic of Prog rock or was it a slow evolution and the wasn't a clear jump from Proto prog to prog. So what is the first real prog album
