Wow, can't look at that for too long.
Anyway, the definition of proto-prog is "Rock Bands in existence prior to 1969 that influenced the development of progressive rock." so The Beatles definitely fit into that category.
Let me quote David Jackson of Van der Graaf Generator -

"I remember vividly Sgt Pepper coming out - there was this incredible buzz of sheer disbelief.Suddenly with this astonishing music, anything seemed possible".

Revolver and Sgt Pepper definitely opened the way for prog rock.

Well, at least their album Revolver served as an inspiration for a swedish prog band about 30 years later.

Oh right, we need a reason. Hrmm, well other than the obvious, it seems that if we're going to have a bunch of bands who paved the way for the psychedelic and progressive nature, we should put the Beatles in there since they were doing a lot of avant garde stuff in the latter half of the 60s. I'd suggest putting "Tomorrow", Steve Howe's band in there too.

Just something to think about.
