Pink Floyd could count as one of the first prog bands since they debuted in 66, though their early material was more on psychedelic rock than prog, it wasnt until Gilmour joined that they became more of a prog band.

Psychedelic is goooood. Pink Floyd would have been one of the groups to put a spring in that genres step too, Grateful Dead were tampering with psychedelica in the mid 60's and it was around the late 60's that psychedelic was the new form of popular rock for bands. I haven't heard much of Floyds earliest stuff, it still would have to have been fairly progressive though wouldn't it?
