I guess that you're already familiar with Procol Harum? I think A Salty Dog is my favourite album of theirs in case you want a good place to start.

And my favorite early prog band Touch.
Also from 68' every song on the album shows a different direction, excellent stuff!

This is a great thread! and your timing couldn't be better, just a few days ago I finally got my Canterbury Glass album. It's an album recorded in 1968 but was never released, this is really progressive for that year. Steve Hacket joined the band just before they broke up and he's playing on one song.

I'm curious what the year 1966 put out as far as innovative rock.  

I'd like to recommend East West as an 13-minute long instruemental track released in 1966 (at same titled album) as truly innovative as well. Unbelievable Mike Bloomfield's guitar work. Nobody was recorded something like that before. It was recorded at one live studio session and even today it doesn't sound dated.

And "Smile" is another killa. Wink

And how 'bout "Anthem Of The Sun" by Grateful Dead? It's one of gems of Psych Rock.

I am of the opinion that some psychedelic rock is proto-prog rock.
I am interested in the years 1966 to 1968.  Can anyone give me
some of the bands that made the most musical strides in these years.
Obviously, the Nice, Floyd, Soft Machine, but I'm interested in something
that isn't jazz or classical done with more rock elements thrown in,
but something more harmonically innovative as well as sonic textures,
like studio effects.  

I'm curious what the year 1966 put out as far as innovative rock.
