Reading most of the answers make me feel old. The first one I bought was "This is Moody blues". At the same time more or less a friend introduced me to Kansas's "Leftoverture". That was on 1978 when I was 14.

Kansas - Leftoverture was my first. Kansas is still my favorite band, and they introduced me to prog very well.

Rush - Moving Pictures for me. I was 11 years old, and "Limelight"
pretty much ripped my brain out of my skull and tossed it around. I'd
never heard anything so damn HEAVY or COOL sounding!

Dream Theater - Scenes From a Memory. I was a budding metallhead at the
time and a friend of mine lent me the album. My love of prog grew from
there.

Fragile, heard "your Move" on the radio and had to have it. when i heard what else was on that album my world changed. no one else in my upstate NY rural high school could comprehend what i was on about "Yes, Genesis, King Crimson, Mike Oldfield, Jethro Tull" nobody wanted to hear about it except one kid who liked ELP. we didn't get along

My purchase of Yessongs was about 18 months ago and it is indeed a masterpiece!!! The Mars Volta, Coheed & Cambria are just two of the top current acts
