Spock kills Kirk? I wonder why. That gotta be a must-see episode, even though I'm not a Star Trek fan at all.

Not only. At the end of the episode Spock SMILES!!!!

It does look like a bit like a stargate from the Stargate series.

I thought it was used for time travel somehow, I only remember it vaguely though.

I might be wrong but that looks like an old star trek episode.

I repeat myself here as this is a newer thread than the old ones....
Early prog memories:
I remember my dad coming home from a late night shift with a King Crimson vinyl tucked under his arm. It had the Red faced screamer on the cover and it scared me but he said I might like it, knowing I was into horror.... I loved parts of it such as 21st Century SM and parts I hardly played. I also remember the Black ELP cover of Works and I only liked Fanfare for the Common Man. I also had Take A Pebble on cassette but cant remember how I got it. Yes' Roundabout and Long Distance Runaround were Also on cassette somehow. I have no idea where I got them as I had no Yes albums. I also knew Jethro Tull's Bungle in the Jungle lyrics off by heart at the age of 8 but it was taped off radio!
My first purchase? It had to be in the 70s when I was a teen and got into particular artists and didn't know they were prog. I bought many Kraftwerk albums beginning with "Man Machine" so that counts and TEE.
I had "Aqualung" vinyl given to me but too young to appreciate it though i played the title track many times. I somehow got hold of "War of the Worlds" by Jeff Wayne - birthday I think and played it ad infinitum! From there i got into Moody Blues and had 2 compilation albums.
I also had JMJ "Oxygene" and played it often after seeing "Gallipoli". I had many soundtracks of movies so I was kind of into weird classical dramatic stuff.
This was in the late 70s and from there i began to get hold of all Pink Floyd starting with The Wall cos I saw the film and someone at college told me it was the best thing he had ever heard. Strangely enough I didn't get Dark Side until the 80s, but did get Animals, A NIce Pair, and The Final Cut. I didn't really like them much at first but they kept my interest up and i finally grew up and loved them. When I heard DSOTM I was addicted for life!
Compilations have a lot to answer for! I had one song by Hawkwind Silver Machine and also some Marillion, and ended up buying the vinyl of Misplaced Childhood and loving it. I don't know why I didn't buy anymore Marillion up till recently.
I had heard of Genesis but only Invisible Touch and Duke. I was at a friends place who played Yes' Owner of a Lonely Heart and the rest of 90125 and I had to have it!
My big Prog splurge happened when I discovered the term actually existed. I bought all of Rush, having discovered them in a magazine, and they became my favourite artist. Then all of Hawkwind, King Crimson box sets and individual CDs, Yes including box sets, all Atomic Rooster and all ELP and VDGG. ...and many others since....
And there is my gateway to Prog....

For me and most of my friends at the time, which was 1973. We were in high school, and one of us had just heard ELP's Brain Salad Surgery. He was the first one of our group of friends that had discovered prog and was sharing it with the rest of us. My parents gave me Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road for my birthday, played it over and over. While not prog, it was my first real exposure to recorded music. Just loved Funeral For A Friend, but wasn't sure why. This friend I mentioned was into Yes, Floyd, Genesis, Nektar, VDGG. We would gather at his place, and he would spin the vinyl from these bands that existed at that time. I remember just being blown away at the epic sound, the meat of it. Just so much content and substance to the music. It was then I was exposed to most of what is now considered to be epic, classic prog. I have preferred to listen to nothing but since that time almost 40 years ago. Long Live Prog! |
Holy crap thanks for reminding me, I totally forgot! I remember listening to Funeral For a Friend continuously and loving it when I was about 5 years old. So I guess that was the first sign.

You never know when you'll want to spin another album again, so it always great to have the hardware just waiting for ya anytime you want. And I know how you feel, AMAZON and EBAY.....man those prices are irresistable!! I would say 80% of my cd collection was bought on line. Nothing wrong with that. I say, enjoy your collection anyway you like. ;)

Holy god?!!! 500 CDs. Lol. That's a lot. Guess you got a lot of one hit wonders ;) |
Perhaps - but Iv'e been snapping up "bargains" from ebay - for about 10 years - a helluva lot of those CD's are just impulse buys (from a prog perspective - all of them are progish) - Maybe I'll catch up when I retire - and seek out the "lost" gems in my (by then) colossal CD collection.

Similar for me. Started with metal. Was introduced to Rush and Marillion by a friend, and started seeking out bands said to be like them. |
 looks like you have an appreciation for THE FUTURE SOUND OF LONDON as well. LIFEFORMS is a great album dude.

I started with Pink Floyd, then got into King Crimson and Magma. Then I kind of went backwards and decided that Coheed and Cambria was THE BEST BAND EVER. Then was some 3 and TMV, which lead to Gapacho and Beardfish.
Also Hawkwind and IQ were in there someplace.
My prog history is really weird.

I want to chime in here and state that Yes' worst album ever, in my opinion, is Talk from 1994. |
Funny as thats the only album by them featuring Rabin that I like. I also prefer it to anything else Yes recorded post Drama inc even Magnification.

My version: Brubeck "Time Out" > Blood, Sweat & Tears (self-titled) > Chicago (1 & 2) > Elton John (Goodbye Yellow Brick Road) > Kansas (Leftoverture) > Yes (Relayer - my high-school friend turned me on to this one!). From there (which was the mid-1970s), full on into Yes, ELP, Genesis, Camel, Jethro Tull. Later 70s: UK & Brand X. Then, a 'dry spell' until early 80s with Marillion...(I could bore you some more, but I won't...)
