Personnaly  I think that VdGG's debut is the first progalbum - it's not psychedelic rock neither jazz-fusion etc. +++++++ It was released earlier (in September, 1969) than ITCOTCK that can be considered the first Prog Masterpiece .

Sorry if I've missed smth  important

Even thought I do not believe in any such thing, I voted Pet Sounds, which was so remarkable, the Beatles tried to emulate it and ended up with Sgt. Pepper's.  Pet Sounds has actually aged better.

Close run thing between Ars Longa Vita Brevis and Shine On Brightly which were both released in the same month of 1968. I voted for ALVB as I think it had more influence on other prog bands than Procal Harum's release.

I voted for The Clouds Scrapbook because it is the bridge that links pop and prog; but my instincts still tell me that the first true Prog album was In the Court of the Crimson King. It's just that without 1-2-3 this album couldn't have happened.

I think Sgt Pepper because the Beatles did what every one is doing now in prog but they didnt realise it was prog and they didnt realise it was creating a genre of music.... if you listen though the album has all the prog elements, and it was before 1969. Then King Crimson's debut was the definitive article....

Shine On Brightly definitely beats Court. Sgt. Pepper is iffy, but I'll bite. It certainly had a bigger hand in 'progress'. Days of Future Passed as well.

I don't think so. Musicians infuence each other and early KC must have had its sources for inspiration. I don't know if there is any link between 1-2-3/Clouds and King Crimson, but it is possible at least. Anyway, In the Court of the Crimson King was the first sign of maturity for Prog (the two albums I mentioned earlier are Proto-Prog).

Of course. I'm not saying musicians don't influence each other, it's just the whole "without this album, that band could not have created anything similar" gets on my nerves. As if everything was set in stone.   
New album!

King Crimson's was the only one that is all prog. Shine on Brightly: only the second side is prog. Sgt Pepper: only the last song. Most of the rest are just normal albums with some eccentric sounds or extended jamming.
