Foxtrot is #2, not getting a result for #1

Do you mean Foxtrot by Genesis? That is 1972, right? I wonder what is the earliest Prog album listed on PA. That should be the one.

Well technically the first one listed is Miles Davis - First Miles in 1945 but we can discount that as Miles is here for his fusion albums and they start much later.

The first appearance of something not jazz is Frank Zappa - Freak Out in 1966.

1967 is the first year with multiple entries

Pink Floyd - Piper At The Gates Of Dawn
The Moody Blues - Days Of Future Passed
Procol Haram - A Whiter Shade Of Pale
Traffic - Mr Fantasy

I'm discounting entries with very few ratings

keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

^Can't recall that it actually rocks, but in that case it's the first ever rock-album too. Well done, Varèse!
