Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band - Trout Mask Replica
King Crimson - In The Court of The Crimson King
Frank Zappa - Hot Rats
Miles Davis - In A Silent Way

That's pretty much where I tap out/start for prog TBH.

Undoubtedly, the two biggest musical events of 1969 were the huge Woodstock festival in August and the Altamont Speedway concert in December of that year, although Altamont is remembered now for all the wrong reasons, as The Rolling Stones asked the Hells Angels to provide "security" at the event, with disastrous consequences. Ouch

Here's my Top 10 prog favourites for that memorable year:-

Andromeda - Andromeda
Andwella's Dream - Love and Poetry
Arcadium - Breathe Awhile
Arzachel - Arzachel
Gandalf - Gandalf
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
The Moody Blues - To Our Children's Children's Children
The Music Emporium - The Music Emporium
Rare Bird - Rare Bird
Spooky Tooth - Spooky Two

Three other worthy contenders:-

Jethro Tull - Stand Up
Santana - Santana
It's a Beautiful Day - It's a Beautiful Day
