Actually, an unstated goal of this thread is to make some kind of attempt at disproving the "Big Bang" theory.
Or confirming it.
Or at least attaining oblivion - whichever comes first...
So keep the agreements, arguments and alternatives coming

 Wrong wrong WRONG Breezy!
Prog sprang fully-formed, from the head of Zeus/Fripp, with ITCOTCK!
Prior to that, all was formless darkness.

I totally disagree. Prog Progressed through quite a few related events that culminated with ITCOTCK and others of that year and the next.

Stop arguing before I come over there and STRAIGHTEN YOU OUT, kilt boy!
 "Procul-Freekin-Harum" indeed! Ha! 
Where's a symbol for "infinity" (as in, how long this debate will go on) when I need one?

I didn't make this a poll, as someone is bound to think of something that I didn't put on the list - and anyway, the purpose of this thread is to try to collect some data surrounding the birth of prog (Oooh! a thread on a mission!) - specifically, the first prog album.
I'm going to go with the obvious choice, because I can't think of anything earlier which I would consider a bona fide prog album (but then I've been flat on my back with a mad dose of the flu for the past 3 days or so, hence the old braincell isn't clicking away as it normally does);
