No, and with good reason. Hendrix wasn't around, and the stones had hardly any prog relation, especially at that time.

very simple that - no Zoot Suit, no I'm The Face 1964 - NO QUADROPHENIA 1973.

(BTW, also found some nice previously unreleased tracks from the original Quadrophenia album sessions on the soundtrack.)

Not a big early (or late) Stones fan myself, so I borrowed "Out of your Heads" and understand why you mention it.
 
Beautiful song enhanced by the harpsichord.
 
"Yesterday's Papers" (recorded Nov '66, released Jan '67) also uses harpsichord.

What about Ringo's mambo drumming on I Feel Fine from 1964?
Or I Call Your Name from 1964 with a rim shot and change of signature and a middle 8 guitar melody not related, derivative or variation of the main melody?

Some of the early Yardbirds is about as proto as it gets.

Agreed; a lot of stuff off of Having a Rave Up or Roger the Engineer would qualify. If nothing, play "Still I'm Sad," and be amazed that that thing was produced in 1965. 

The Beach Boys are a treasure trove of course. Pet Sounds is chock full of wonderful crap, but going back to "California Girls," and, BOOM! The very first rock song with an overture. 

 
Roger the Engineer  was recorded in the spring and summer of 1966. Many people forget that most of Pet Sounds was recorded in 1966 and was finished when the Beatles started recording Revolver. The only songs on Pet Sounds that were recorded and finished in 1965 were "Sloop John B" and "Pet Sounds. Tracks like "God Only Knows" were recorded in March and April of 1966.
 
The Zombies-  "She's Not There" August 1964
The Moody Blues-  "Go Now"  November 1964
The Yardbirds- Shapes of Things recorded in late 1965 and released in Feb 1966
 
 
Some Beatle tracks
 
"Ticket To Ride" noted for it's massive chiming and droning bass guitar sound. The raga-rock drum pattern would be followed the next year on "Tomorrow Never Knows". The track uses varispeeding
 
"You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" a very folksy song two-bridge pop song that is in 3/4 time signature in Mixolydian Mode. The fade out with flutes has a baroque styled ending
 
"Think For Yourself" is a tour de force in altered scales with lyrics that is political in nature. The song is well known for its use of a double bass style one lead fuzz bass and the other regular tone.
 
This has a nice musical timeline of 1962-1966 Beatles if anyone is interested.

Thumbs Up Beautiful, Rank1 ! Much appreciated.
 
I was about to list The Animals myself. And I had completely forgotten "The Ox".
 
Thanks.
 
BTW, there's also Seventh Sons - an excerpt would fit the playlist.
