I think more than Sgt. Pepper's, songs on Magical Mystery Tour
Tour, like "I Am the Walrus", "Strawberry Fields Forever", and
"All You Need is Love", with their complex orchestration and
structures gave the impetus to the artists who were soon to
branch out into progressive. And the epic side 2 of Abbey Road
really paved the way for longer, conceptual compositions in
Rock (not counting the ones like "Inna Gada da Vida" from Iron
Butterfly, that were just repetetive and too long).

Any opnions on him?

As for the Beatles then yes i think they should be proto-prog but just for st pepper

The White Album is also quite nice ...

exactly. I was only joking about adding them though ... Mindfields is a very nice AOR album, not more.

 Michael bolton is Prog.....

 Keep wondering around and in a few months you´ll find The Beatles in this site as "Proto-pop-metal-hardcore-rap-soul-R&B-electronic-PROG band". Vocabulary can be extended as much as it is convenient.

 This way, We can add Ashley Simpson as "Proto-pop-crap-prog-artist"

Ringo Starr once posed beside Klaatu the robot from The Day The Earth Stood Still (classic sci fi movie)- must be proto prog for that alone

 I think every single band in history is prog. All but "The ramones".

 May I then suggest "Los angeles azules" as "Progressive cumbia" ?     (A latin tropical band. Think of cha cha cha, although it´s not exactly that)
