I'm not a true aficionado of those priod. But various album of those period are very good.
 
In my opinion those period it was indeed fecund, with optimal ideas. Nearly like those of the period 1970/ 1976! Clearly without the magic of 1970/ 1976 period.

Wel, two of my favourite albums ever were made in this period...but I'm not sure you could call them prog:

Pink Floyd - Ummagumma
Miles Davis - Bitches Brew


Mostly tho' it's the 1970 - 1975 era that does it for me.

Which are your favourite albums from that period?
 
Which groups from before 1967 would you say were fundamental in laying down the basics for what we now call Prog?
The important thing is not to stop questioning.

I love that era of Psyche and Proto Prog, an era that's sadkly underrated here and placed in the same level of Prog Related, withhout the music of 67 to 70, there would not be Prog today, most of the development happened there and we seem not to notice it.
 
  1. The Crazy World of Arthur Brown - Arthur Brown (1968)
  2. Etcetera - Laghonia (1971, but all the music is from 1966 to 1970, not released before becausde lack of money).
  3. Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera - Elmer Gantry's Velvet Opera (1967)
  4. Their Satanic Majesties Request - Rolling Stones (1967)
  5. Sweetwater - Sweetwater (1968)
  6. The Thoughts of Emerlist Davjack - The Nice (1967)
  7. Santana - Santana  (1968)
  8. Procol Harum - Procol Harum (1967)
  9. The Strawbs - The Strawbs (1969)
  10. Virgin - Traffic Sound (1969)
Just to mention 10.

Interesting choices there guys. It does I suppose resurrect the old debate as to whether ITCOTCK was the first prog album.

I haven't listened to it for years but I think The 12 Dreams of Doctor Sardonicus by Spirit might fall in this pre-Prog style if my memory serves me correctly.
 
Oh yes and how about Ogden's Nut Gone Flake by The Small Faces.

As much as I hate to say it the Beatles were the first to come up with the art / rock formula on the SGT Pepper album. Many artists will attest to this from Bob Fripp to Larry Coryell. One often overlooked band from this period is Ekseption from the Netherlands who played almost not for note rockier versions of Bach Beethoven et al.

With a 1970 release date, 12 Dreams is late psychedelia,  coming before the split into Randy California's band and Jo Jo Gunne

Amon Düül 2 - Phallus Dei from 1969.
I don't name the very first Kraut album ever, Psychedelic Underground by Amon Düül, because, although it was very important for the development of Kraut ("after this album no band needed to have an inferiority complex", as journalist Ingeborg Schober put it in her book about Amon Düül), it has very little to do with prog

Amon Duul were more of a political hippie band along with Floh de Cologne and all the early Kratrock bands. Some of these bands even had conections with the Baader- Meinhoff Gans. I `ve heard it refered to as Kosmische Musik many times. Prog ? Not prog even though it`s here on PA.

The album that really springs to mind is "Freak Out!", bet then of course theirs "Piper at The Gates of Dawn". Also I like Johnny and His Cellar Rockers a lot, but that's not prog.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

Just a 1967 list of albums from bands/ artists that are included as Prog.  How many of these might be considered true Prog (at least according to the Prog umbrella we utilise now, which is rather revisionist)?

In my opinion the Proto prog of The Nice or Procol Harum or Ekseption or Nirvana (for pure examples) hasn't nothing to that to see with Psychedelic Rock.
 
For me the cited type of Proto Prog is the true Pre Prog and it would have to be dealt like a true Prog genre in PA.

I really don't think that that needs to be revisited.  While I personally am of the opinion that Days of Future Passed was the first prog album, I understand that there are strong reasons for considering ITCOTCK as well
 
The really interesting thing here is the time period the original poster gave.  While I wouldn't say that everything prior to 1971 was proto prog, the genre didn't really gel until then.
