There's an article on the Pop Matters website today entitled "1967 and the Prog-Rock Progenitors." The albums in my poll are those mentioned in the article as being key pre-prog releases from 1967. (A strange coincidence, since I just mentioned Love's "Forever Changes" in another recent poll here at PA. I wonder if the author of the piece is here in PA ;-) My favorite is a 3-way tie between Love's Forever Changes, VU & Nico, and Floyd's Piper.

The article, if you want to read it: http://www.popmatters.com/pm/column/168824-1967-and-the-prog-rock-progenitors/

Went with the Airplane. Of course, there are lots of great ones on this list, but Surrealistic Pillow is one of my favorite hippie albums and although not as much proto-prog as say After Bathing At Baxter's, it's the album of all those I enjoy the most.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Yes, I messed up. I think both those albums are from 1967, I should've went with Baxter's instead of Pillow.

Buffalo Springfield Again: I love that one!
Love's Forever Changes is also good.
Traffic's debut is charming and versatile, but the really good albums were yet to come IMHO.

Forever Changes.  Few albums from that era have bowled me over like that one.

His music is truly something special. Very emotional for electronic music, I love it. Perfect on a dark night in the city.

I went with Mr. Fantasy.

The Moodys, then Hendrix, The Doors, Love, Beefheart, and how come The Mother's Absolutely Free isn't on the list?

Fair enough, but it's still strange that Zappa's output during this period was not mentioned in that article.

Back on topic... it's hard to choose. Seriously, it's stuff from 1967, arguably the finest year for rock 'n roll. If I had to choose, I guess, for the moment, It would be Are You Experienced?.

From what I've read in Ed Macan's ELP bio, Endless Enigma, The Thoughts Of Emerlist Davjack actually came out in March 1968. I'm not sure why it's listed as December 1967.

^ I'm reading the notes in the 2004 reissue, and I quote;"..their debut album The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack appeared in December '67".  

Further, the Immediate copyright states 'Original Immediate Recordings ⓟ 1967'.   Maybe the March '68 date was the worldwide release.
