Searching for the "first" prog album will be as fruitless as searching for the evolutionary missing link-it doesnt exist.
Mind you Peter, I cannot for the life of me understand why you get your pampered knickers in a twist everytime someone misses your clumsy attempt at whimsy!

My "knickers" were untwisted, until NOW, Head Fluffer! 
The anger was feigned -- yet more clumsy whimsy.

It's the oldest album listed in the Archives. It's the first album by the genius Frank Zappa. It's the first album to combine rock with avant-garde. The songs may not all be progressive, but the record as a whole IS.
Case closed! 
(hey, I'm serious)   |
I have to agree with that.

I would agree, Frank was probably first! I have
some old tapes from early early 60s recorded in
bars on the west coast and frank was already doing
it before the summer of love was ever invisioned.
Got my respect, which aint much

Heh! I'm glad this is a popular discussion area, with a good mix of sensible suggestions, silly arguments and protracted discussions at odd tangents...
Business as normal, then

Well, I know there were albums released before this that can be considered progressive, and I also know that many don't consider this to be prog, but I'd have to say Zeppelin 1.

also pink floyd were one of the first rock bands to start playing extended psychadelic pieces. get live 66 ep (it is the same as tonite lets all make love in london i think) and it has a 16 minute version of interstellar overdrive before piper was released.
also maybe prog originally derived from classical music eg beethoven etc?
