Ah yeah, nothing like the raunching guitar riffs and the non-progressive leanings of a short and concise tune like Child in Time ;-)
That would be Progressive, but it isn't Proto - proto would be tracks like April, Anthem, The Shield and Mandrake Root.
 
for those in doubt listen to April from 1969:
What?

The Nice are a Symphonic bands, their similarities with
  1. ELP
  2. Refugee

Are so big, that i would be absurd to have them in Proto Prog...While most of the bands were doing mostly an elaborate form of Psyche (90% or more PP bamnds have an obvious Psyche connection), The Nice was doing complex and elaborate re-works on classical music.

Those are good choices. i was listening to some Procol Harum last night and they are definitely worth a mention esp Salty Dog and First Album and Shine on Brightly. Classic proto prog.
 
The Nice are worth a mention too!

1. Beatles, Pepper
2. H.P. Lovecraft, II
3. Touch, Touch
4. Vanilla Fudge, Renaissance
5. Procol Harum, Shine on Brightly

  1. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown (Arthur Brown)
  2. Procol Harum (Procol Harum)
  3. Sweetwater (Sweetwater]
  4. Abbey Road (The Beatles)
  5. The Doors (The Doors)

IMO Tommy is far better than most of this albums, but I don't believe The Who are Proto Prog).

Iron Butterfly's Ball is an interesting choice.  Don't think I'd put in any top 5 list, but In the Time of Our Lives is a pretty good song, as is Soul Experience.  I no longer have the album, but I have a greatest hits that has those two songs and they are above par for the course.  Strange band, that Iron Butterfly.

Really do not like this label but .....
1- Arthur Brown's Kingdom Come - Journey
2- Beatles- White Album (personal reasons)
3- Procol Harum- Exotic Birds & Fruit
4- Deep Purple- Machinehead
5- Beatles- Abbey Road
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Not being particularly well-fed with music of this category, I can't limit myself to the luxury of only listing pre-70s albums. But here they are:

1. The Who - Who's Next
2. The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper/Magical Mystery Tour
3. Deep Purple - In Rock
4. Deep Purple - Fireball
5. The Who - Quadrophenia

...sticking to pre-1970 Proto Prog albums
 
1. Beatles ~ Magical Mystery Tour EP
2. Kaleidoscope ~ A Tangerine Dream
3. Deep Purple ~ Book Of Taliesyn
4. The Who ~ Tommy
5. It's A Beautiful Day ~ It's A Beautiful Day
 
However... since many Prog bands started out as Proto, my proto Prog albums from all genres would be:
 
1. Pink Floyd ~ A Saucerful of Secrets
2. Renaissance ~ Renaissance
3. Tangerine Dream ~ Electronic Meditation
4. Soft Machine ~ The Soft Machine
5. The Moody Blues ~ In Search Of The Lost Chord
 
What?
