Love - Forever Changes (1968)
More on the acoustic/melodic side of music and not very prog but the songs are beautifulll and its an immaculate recording.

The Crazy World of Arthur Brown in 1968. To quote PA: ARTHUR BROWN was one of the prime movers behind the Progressive
underground in late 1960s England, famous for his outlandish stage act
which included psychedelic robes and a helmet of fire!

Abbey Road of The Beatles has nobody mentioned (except Anthony H., who mentioned all their albums).

I don't know what to choose, but I'd say close to half of my frequently listened to music is before ITCOTCK.

Because jazz and prog are closely knit, I'll include them, here:
- The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady, Charles Mingus (1963) - A Love Supreme, John Coltrane (1965) - Blonde on Blonde, Bob Dylan (1966) ("Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" is eleven minutes long) - Pet Sounds, The Beach Boys (1966) - Arthur, The Kinks (1969) (you know, it's a concept album)
I'd say those are some of the best.

I will also vote for all of The Beatles' stuff, along with some stuff from other British bands like The Who, The Stones, and The Kinks. I'll also mention The Beach Boys, and now I'm finally discovering a vast back-catalogue of jazz that I'm listening to more frequently. And then, if you really want to get technical, there's most classical music.

Beatles, Zappa, the usual suspects. But two albums stand out, as really pointing the way to progressive rock:
Crazy World of Arthur Brown (especially Side 1)
Procol Harum's first
Those two albums laid a foundation that would be revisited time and time again. Sometimes the house was knocked off its foundations, but the foundations remained.
The 'Fire' suite that is Side 1 of CWOAB is one of the first side-long excursions into repetitive themes, almost cyclical. And then Procolly-speaking, there's that Bach solo in Repent Walpurgis. Mix it all up, give it a couple of years to ferment, and next thing ya know there's some prog around.
