I used to think the first Yes album was pretty forgettable but it's grown on me a lot over the years, nowadays I'd rank it above Time and a Word which is good but the use of orchestration feels clumsy and forced, Magnification was a much better execution of the same idea.

The first Yes Album was just so behind. The Nice 'Ars Longa Vita Brevis' was another one from earlir in 1968 that was well in front being probably the first Prog album, seen as Prog was a British invention

In my opinion Days of Future Passed is the first progressive rock album but I think most people can agree that it was In the Court of the Crimson King that truly kickstarted prog as as a movement.

Is Days of Future Passed really a progressive rock album though? If, so, you have to consider Sgt. Pepper as a progressive album and maybe even Zappa's Freak Out before that.
Probably agree that Crimson jump started the genre though, though you could also argue the Nice and the Soft Machine. |

'67 seems to be where it's at. Freak Out, Piper, Days of Future Passed, Sgt Peppers all contenders, but for my money the winner is Procol Harum. The first album I heard from this year that I could call a real proper prog album.

No not real proper prog what ever that means LOL.
All the above you mentioned aren not Prog albums. LOL. Just because say Sgt peppers was full of experimentation does not make it progressive, you are just assuming it fits the bill However they are more related to Psychedia than anything, Only the years from then to near the back end of the 60's thru Proto prog bands into Crossover prog did major labels create offshoots such as EMI Harvest & Swirl Vertigo. Styles in music are very short before they morph into other things as were the longevity of Swirl Vertigo & RCA Neon. The Pink Floyd & Soft Machine were doing things in 1967 that were not disimular to What Tangerine Dream were doing at the Zodiac club (TD were not a synth band originally) , Berlin around the same time, No way on earth is it Progressive Rock.

I've long been an avid defender of that album so while I disagree with this take I respect your chutzpah.
