Probably an Elvis Presley album, maybe Moody Blues, or Beatles, I don't really remember.
I do remember playing Relics from Pink Floyd when I was 9 or 10, a white album with a black and white drawing of some hellish music instrument (Organ). Great songs there (See Emily Play was my favourite along with Arnold Lane and Astronomy Domine)

Along with a tape of Elton John that's the earliest I remember

Regarding Prog Rock, "Dark Side of the Moon"... but I think my very first album was "News of the World" by Queen followed up by "Mr. Tambourine Man" by The Birds.

No I idea what the first one I listened to was, but the first two I bought (at
the same time) were Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Hendrix's Are
You Experienced.

I think the first record I ever heard may have been one of the Pink Floyd albums my dad had (possibly 'A Momentary Lapse Of Reason') , but the first one I ever personally bought was 'Real Love' by The Beatles. Purists don't like that record, but I really do- it's a very nice tune. They were probably the first band I ever loved, and occasionally went off them in my youth, but I have grown to love them again now.

For my 10th birthday, my dad bought me a cd player and three cds:

-Best of Alan Parsons Project
-Electric Light Orchestra: Burning Bright (A compilation)
-Steely Dan Gold (yet another compilation)

This set the stage for my infiltration into prog and fusion by way of symphonic pop and jazz pop (both styles I still love)

The first record I remember listening to was Carmina Burana. My father used to listen to it and I gratificated the record sleeve with some nice multicoulored drawings, which my father didn't appreciated too much. The first one I bought myself was Led Zep IV.

My mother also played piano though, and I received lessons at a very early age.

strange you don't have a hippie look at all...more in cubism, dadaism and futurism maybe (avant garde in one word)

The first album I listened to would have been one of my dad's big band or jazz albums.  The first one I bought would have been a Beach Boys or Beatles.  I forget which.

The 1st albums I listened to, as a kid, must have been albums from one of my older brothers, who was into Genesis, Yes, Kayak and Boudewijn de Groot (Dutch folk singer). He probably had records by PFM, Pink Floyd, and certainly a triple live album by Angelo Branduardi (Italian prog folk artist) as well.

My oldest brother was into ELP and ELO. My youngest brother was into Procol Harum. From school parties I remember Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd.

So it's no wonder that the 1st album I bought, age 16, was a prog record: Merlin by Kayak. Then I bought albums by Steve Winwood and Deep Purple, but when I got some Genesis records at my 17th birthday, I became a Genesis fan and rediscovered the albums my older brothers listened to, and discovered 'new' bands like Traffic, King Crimson, U.K. etc. etc.
