A Saucerful of Secrets. The first album I ever bought, more than 50 years ago. Then The Beatles White album, my second purchase.

Incredible year for Rock.   Some obvious choices for me, proggy or not:

The Kinks Are The Village Green Society (the best Kinks album, albeit narrowly)

Astral Weeks - Van Morrison  (ditto)

Both those albums are snugly in my my greatest albums of all time list.

Another ignored classic - Donovan in Concert - one of the great live albums of the 60's.

Believe me Pope Paul, my toes are clean

Somewhat ridiculously I'm the first to vote for Procol Harum. Nothing much floats my boat on that list. I might have gone for Ars Long Vita Brevis if that was on there. My fave from the year is easily Love - Forever Changes but it's not usually regarded as even being a proto-prog album. Shame.

Great choice! I think it's one of their most underappreciated albums.

More, which is one of my favorites, is even more (underappreciated). Smile

Ahh, More is damn good!

^ I've been listening to More Pink Floyd albums over the last three days than I normally listen to in a whole year, and you're absolutely right: the More soundtrack is an underappreciated classic! Thumbs Up

Zappa.
'WOIIFTM' is a stellar album.
Levitating downwards,
atomic feedback scream.

1968 was a great year, and there are several high points to found on this list. The top is In Search of the Lost Chord, where the Moody Blues redefine themselves for the second time in as many years by becoming their own orchestra. Electric Ladyland comes in second, with Cream third.
The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty"
