I think the Byrds were one of the best bands from the 1960s and really love that album, but again I wouldn't put it in the influential prog category. Yes it's regarded as one of the first ever psychedelic album, because with the race to get a man on the moon, there was certainly a race between bands like the Beatles, Beach Boys and the Byrds to get the first true psychedelic album out.
I've noticed that you kind of question it as being a true psychedelic album, I think it's like a lot of music in its early days as a genre, that in hindsight it doesn't always sound like how you think it should but it was certainly psychedelic for its time.
