Monster Movie by Can or Electronic Meditation by Tangerine Dream (OK, it wasn't released until 1970 but it was recorded in 1969).

Gotta go with Trout Mask Replica. The Soft Machine is close as well.

I add my voice to Phalus dei !
 
Though I  love Moonchild including the atmospheric 10 last minutes and I think ITCOTCK is a great debut it suffers sometimes from taking itself too seriously (I blame Greg Lake for that).
Can is a great band but it's debut isn't it's highest moment while Phalus dei is a peak in Amon duul II discography IMO.
 
Other honorable mentions : In search of the lost chord, The soft machine, Valentine suite and Space oddity (it is not defined as prog here but I claim different).

Another vote for Phallus Dei. Or Can's 'Monster Movie'. Not 'prog' but either Cages 'HPSCHD', A Rainbow In Curved Air, or 'Hymnen'. JC monkey balls I'm indecisive.

Without a doubt: No, not "In the Court of the Crimson King", but "Phallus Dei" by Amon Düül 2. Though of course "In the Court of the Crimson King" is a great album too. But I can't quite understand why so many people vote for it, because I know pretty well most people think 25% of that album (the last ten minutes of "Moonchild") are "crap". Though I don't share that opinion I know it is pretty common. So I am a bit amazed about that album being cited so often.

Sticking to progressive rock rather than avant garde rock blues or psychedelia
 
Touch (ignore this seminal album at your peril)
Soft Machine Volume 2 (before Volume 2: Brit soul then psychedelia/after: jazz fusion)
ITCTCK
Renaissance (the Yardbirds line-up)
Nice Ars Longa Vita Brevis

What do you mean, best musically?  Whatever you mean, surely Trout Mask Replica is just as good Tongue

I think In the Court takes this one with Days of Future Passed not too far behind.

Trout Mask Replica (TMR), Phallus Dei (PD), The Soft Machine (TSM) and Volume Two, Hot Rats (HR), Sea Shanties (SS), In the Court of the Crimson King (ItCotCK), Valentyne Suite (VS), Safe as Milk (SaM), Basket of Light (BoL).

Maybe PD for me, but TMR, TSM, HR, BoL and SS are so good.  I'll go with Amon Duul II's excellent debut, Phallus Dei, or maybe Stormy Six's debut.
