Wow, this one really got out of hand.  And now for something completely different:

Well, he first claimed that there's nothing accessible in prog and when Sumdeus said Floyd, Rush, JT get played on the radio he said that has nothing to do with accessibility.  Maybe, but the point is they are accessible.  If ABITW is not accessible, I don't really know what is.   Sounds like denying a statement just to maintain position in an argument.

I'm not denying anything all I said was who cares if something is played on the radio You did deny, mister.  You denied that prog can be accessible.  It seems you wanted to say Book of Saturday is accessible but seem to have edited it out.   Whatever....make up your mind what you want to say.   I repeat, this is just a discussion group, not a battleground for keyboard warriors.

Low Sparks used some electronic device on the sax which made a big synth like sound---think Traffic was a precursor to prog---like other 60's groups--whatever that category is---

You slapped two clauses together that are for some reason in the same sentence. What are you trying to say in the sentence? That according to this site Traffic are eclectic prog? Yes, they are. That according to my logic the Crims aren't prog? I never said that. Where did you get that? If you really think that for a band to be proggy they must have jazz elements, then you are wrong. Ever heard of Popol Vuh? They could do without jazz. As Mr. twosteves has just pointed out, there were a number of proggy bands that predated prog. Really prog took time to take a shape, though last time I checked In the Court was the first album ever to feature an elaborate mix of classical, jazz, and psychedelia with a dash of experimental music, as well as an interesting instrumentation featuring Mellotron, saxophone, and flute. Traffic were a jazz-rock band, at least. This style had a name - "jazz rock". And it was jazz rock at best. People didn't know at the time what prog was. When In the Court came up, they didn't know name this style had. They came up with one - "progressive rock".

I always got it. What's your main point?

It's just simply impossible to pinpoint one specific record that started any movement as big as progressive rock. There was so much musical evolution happening at such a fast rate and in so many places.. I think there was just a lot of energy at that time and everyone was kind of searching for a similar thing so they were able to improve upon each other really quickly. I mean 1967 saw the release of Sgt. Pepper, Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, and Are You Experienced? which I've always seen as the foundation of the psychedelic rock genre and after that it grew so much, quickly molding into what would become the prog sound.
