The reason it sounds prog-y is because it influenced so much of the nascent proto-progressive scene. Is Sgt. Pepper prog proper? No, but the stylistic choices made on the record became standards in early prog production, like the use of the mellotron, the influence of world music, unusual song structures, etc.

No. It's The Beatles on acid.

Come on Ivan, the album has been out since 1967...more than enough time to pick a side.

It's not. It's music for a Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus......
