"Let It Be"
Try Magical Mystery Tour.
If I had one recommendation it would be to listen to "Flying" it has that slow guitar playing then turns strangely turn avant-garde I've seen it accredited as one of the first Space Rock on wiki I don't how true the connection is but the first part is slightly like Duster. If you like Duster or Pram you might like this tune.

Considering that he just recommended Rubber Soul, listen to the song 'in my life'. It's one of my favorites. There's a great little Bach inspired piano piece in the song, it sounds great.

I'd recommend The White Album. Give the song 'long, long, long' a listen. It's a pretty unique song.
Sir George Martin played harpsichord on In My Life, it was recorded at half-speed so at normal speed it sounds like his fingers are flying over the harpsichord.
