Oh they have always had progressive elements, for sure, but they didnt really gain a reputation as a progressive rock band until the 70s.
And a lot of pyschedlic bands had progressive elements...The Doors and Jefferson Airplane included...But this dosent make them prog, of course.
Piper At The Gates Of Dawn is a psychedlic rock album when you get down to it, though there are still a handful of progressive elements, so it could fall into the "prog" category as well...Though Saucerful Of Secrets had some progressive elements that Piper didnt.
