King Crimson was the first real prog band. Yust like black sabbath was the first real heavy metal band. You can argue all you want but we all know its the truth.

The Who, Miles Davis and The Nice would be my suggestions.
King Crimson is the first real prog band in any case.

You all have it wrong, Steven Wilson invented a time machine which he used to go back to the late sixties to invent a new style to take root back then because music was so sh*tty in his time, he went under the guise of "Robert Fripp", and then invented a robot which took his place after he went back to the future. This style became prog which then progressed as it did, and then everyone thought that PT and SW was the natural evolution of it but in reality he invented it.

It would be impossible to identify anyone who invented prog. From the list presented Pink Floyd were playing consistently progressive rock earliest.

While I agree that the advent of prog was more of a confluence of ideas that occurred simultaneously among various artists (Zappa, Beatles, KC, etc...) I'd like to put another name out there... The Beach Boys (waits for the laughter to stop) Pet Sounds from 1966 was really far ahead of its time in elevating pop music by increased complexity in arrangements, both vocal and instrumental, as well as introducing a level of engineering that was leaps and bounds over most of its contemporaries. McCartney has said that this record was a direct influence on the direction that Sgt. Pepper would take. Something to think on...(just not too hard, please  )

I'm not laughing - I think it's a valid point. There wasn't much around as refined as that in 1966

Brian Wilson was undoubtedly a major player in progressing rock, a secret American prog weapon masked in sugary pop.. genius!

It all started with the German Bonds and their "Sonata Facile", influenced by Mozart (1966)

No one person invented prog. A lot of groups assembled and refined elements of prog, from the early '60's onward.
On the other hand, if you want to know who released the first prog album, it was The Moody Blues.
