I don't think music would be part of my life if I didn't get that album. I think abstractly so I think that is why Zappa made sense to me immediately

i am 23, here is my music history
pre 16- nothing, i actually never listened to music, i honestly didnt own an album before then
16-18 - punk rock, early 80s mostly, like Adolescents, Circle Jerks, TS, also a huge fan of The Offspring
18-22 - Metal, I picked up Manowar's Battle Hymns LP at a garage sale for 50 cents as a joke, changed my life, quite possibly the most important moment of life
22-23 (now, look like only one year, but really has been two, just about) - Prog, I am in love with this music, ever since I picked up the Yes Relayer album, just looking at the artwork, I later bought Fragile (didnt buy Relayer, the picture just got me interested) I still listen to quite a bit of metal, but i cant stand, let me repeat, I cant f**king stand punk rock

I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive

33 now, got into Floyd at age 16. Began discovering most of the rest of the prog pantheon at around 19-20. Just recently have been really getting into some bands for the first time (since joining this site  ). First and foremost of these has been Gentle Giant.

Nineteen. About six years ago with Pink Floyd's DSotM (like many others I assume) and I've never looked back.

...never realized so many of us were so young! I'm 20 myself, been into prog since I was 14...
Since we can't reply to that one, how about we put our ages here, and when we got into prog?
...and yes, I'm 99% sure that this has been done before, just statistically speaking...
