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.

Sorry but this is nonsense. I've been a prog head since 1980 or thereabouts and while a lot of what's said to be prog is not, Moody Blues (to an extent but really only with the next album), Floyd and Procol Harum are definitely prog. Fight me.

REALLY fight me now. So no Lamb, no Script, no Octane, no ABWH? Get outta here!
Edit: I also find that phrase "wouldn't be caught dead with..." hilarious. Imagine the scene.
Cop 1: "Looks like someone worked him over real good. Lot of anger there."
Cop 2: "Sick mother all right. What's that in his hand there?"
Cop 1 (hunkering down - stands up and runs to the corner making retching noises): "Jesus ****ing Christ!"
Cop 2: "What is it? What is it?"
Cop 1 (indicating behind him without turning, continuing to retch): "Look! Just ****ing LOOK at it!"
Cop 2: "Looks like... oh my god! A - I - I don't believe this! A PROG ALBUM FROM AFTER 1972! I - I think I'm gonna be sick!"
Cop 1 and 2: "Bastard got everything he deserved! Looks like, uh, suicide to me."
Cop 1: "Best thing for him. Sick ****er."
