"The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles and Fripp"
Otherwise, I'd have to put up a ton of sh*te like "The Monkees"!!
The Association had some rather lovely, pre-Yes vocal harmonizations that apparently inspired Yes to some degree, I've read where Jon Anderson once recorded a nice version of "Never, My Love." I'd like to hear that.

Rubber Soul
Aftermath
Pet Sounds
Revolver
Sgt Pepper especially "with "Mr. Kite" and "A Day in the Life" both songs I class as Progressive Rock. While not the first rock concept album I think the concept of the alter-ego band and linking of songs just revolutionized the concept album in rock music and put the concept album in rock on the map.
The Who Tommy ok not the first rock-opera but it's a great album and it also help popularize the rock opera.

Once again, you're off floating in outer space.
1. Only the first album is pre-ITCOTCK

3. Usually critical praise ends at the seventh album, Borboletta.

A pitty because Moonflower is excellent, and Amigos is still enjoyable.
I agree with the other two points. |
I'll second Moonflower as well.  (although off topic)

Beatles, Zappa, the usual suspects. But two albums stand out, as really pointing the way to progressive rock:
Crazy World of Arthur Brown (especially Side 1)
Procol Harum's first
Those two albums laid a foundation that would be revisited time and time again. Sometimes the house was knocked off its foundations, but the foundations remained.
The 'Fire' suite that is Side 1 of CWOAB is one of the first side-long excursions into repetitive themes, almost cyclical. And then Procolly-speaking, there's that Bach solo in Repent Walpurgis. Mix it all up, give it a couple of years to ferment, and next thing ya know there's some prog around.

I will also vote for all of The Beatles' stuff, along with some stuff from other British bands like The Who, The Stones, and The Kinks. I'll also mention The Beach Boys, and now I'm finally discovering a vast back-catalogue of jazz that I'm listening to more frequently. And then, if you really want to get technical, there's most classical music.
