Excellent - reminded me of some albums I had forgotten about for that watershed year in rock.  Because of that, my vote goes to Cream, Disraeli Gears.  Such a classic work and (as a drummer) I love Ginger Baker's contribution on that album...

Sgt Pepper, for the impact it had on the music world (and the world as a whole) at the time.

YOU FORGOT JEFFERSON AIRPLANE's TWO SUPERB ALBUMS:
 
Surrealistic Pillow
 
After Bathing At Baxter's
let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

Strange Days by The Doors was released in 67 too, was it not ?
 
If so, it gets my vote.  If not, The Doors does.

United States of America's only album released this year is great too. 
Over land and under ashes
In the sunlight, see - it flashes
Find a fly and eat his eye
But don't believe in me
Don't believe in me
Don't believe in me

I voted for Piper at the Gates of Dawn but I'm a big fan of Forever Changes by Love and The Velvet Underground and Nico.

I agree the Beatles work before Pepper's was crucial, but by 1967 the impact on Prog was presumably already there, Pepper's influence being more on standard rock and pop more than Prog itself. Emerson, Fripp, Pink Floyd, all had already begun sewing their prog/psych oats before or during 1967. Just a thought.

S F Sorrow was released the following year, but still pre-dates Tommy
Grocer Jack (an Excerpt from a Teenage Opera) was relesed in1967 - which could have been the first rock-opera if hadn't taken 29 years to finish.
 
 Kites by Simon Dupree and the Big Sound was also release in1967...

Pepper!
 
1967 was the year popular music took whole new directions paved by the albums listed and others. But had The Beatles not participated in the musical experiments, fewer bands would have followed that path.
 
BTW, Lumpy Gravy was '68.
