I believe I purchased my first records in 1983 or 1984 and was for a few years a member of Columbia House (where you bought something like 8 or 10 records for a penny, and then had to buy so many in the first year at regular price). I was about 14 years old and had never heard the term "prog" before. It was all called classic rock back then in my neck of the woods. My memory isn't what it used to be, so these are guesses...
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Yes - Classic Yes Yes - 90125 Genesis - Genesis (shapes album) The Clash - Combat Rock Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age of Wireless Electric Light Orchestra - Secret Messages Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain Deep Purple - Machine Head David Bowie - Let's Dance

I know, for sure, the first three, as I ordered them from the now defunct "Record Club of America" =
King Crimson, "In the Wake of Poseidon" CSNY, "Deja Vu" Led Zeppelin, "III" Subsequent albums would likely have included: Alice Cooper, "School's Out" Yes, "The Yes Album" Captain Beyond, "Captain Beyond" Flash and "In The Can" |

That's a long time ago!
I can remember buying two albums by Waldo De Los Rios, the guy who recorded classical music with a beat. Symphonies for the Seventies and Mozart in the Seventies. I also bought two T Rex albums in 1972, a compilation called Bolan Boogie, and The Slider. My fifth purchase I think was Argus by Wishbone Ash (on cassette). I can't remember what order I bought albums in after that.

That was my first album purchase too - I can't remember what I bought after that or in what order - after all my memory is not so good 50 years later!

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells After that I honestly don't remember (and it's not even been 10 years since I started collecting; gee...)

Well, counting the cassettes that I had from an early age, the very first was: 1. Men at Work, Cargo (that I nearly wore out on my Walkman ate age 12-13, because It was all I had). 2 and 3: Rush, Moving Pictures and 2112 (introduced to me on each side of one cassette) From there I don't completely remember the order, but something like: 4. Rush, Grace Under Pressure (cassette) 5. Yes, 90125 6. Rush, Power Windows 7. U2, Joshua Tree 8. Paul Simon, Graceland 9. Yes, Big Generator 10. Yes, Classic Yes |

Some of these I was given or were bought for me, other ones I bought.
1. The Beatles - 1962-1966 2. The Beatles - 1967-1970 3. The Rolling Stones - Hot Rocks 1964-1971 4. Queen - Greatest Hits 5. Daft Punk - Tron: Legacy 6. Daft Punk - Tron: Legacy Reconfigured (those ones were all given to me digitally by a friend from their iTunes in 8th grade) 7. Queen - Queen 8. Queen - Queen II 9. Rush - 2112 10. Rush - Clockwork Angels (these ones were all purchased by me on iTunes the summer before I started high school) Ah, but if we go just by the first albums I myself bought it's a slightly different story: 1. Queen - Queen 2. Queen - Queen II 3. Rush - 2112 4. Rush - Clockwork Angels 5. Queen - Sheer Heart Attack 6. Muse - The Resistance 7. Queen - A Day At The Races 8. Muse - The 2nd Law 9. Rush - Permanent Waves 10. Muse - Origin Of Symmetry I was going in order with Rush and Queen, and I had A Farewell To Kings, Hemispheres, and A Night At The Opera given to me by my parents after asking for them. |

Porg for short. My love of music doesn't end with prog! Feel free to discuss all sorts of music with me. Odds are I'll give it a chance if I haven't already! :)

The first vinyl that I bought is easy to remember: MARILLION - Fugazi. A lot of Marillion followed.
These are more or less among the early ones (certainly I don't remember them all; probably most of them I don't have anymore): TALK TALK - The Colour of Spring KATE BUSH - The Whole Story PETER GABRIEL - Plays Live DIRE STRAITS - Alchemy U2 - Under a Blood Red Sky THE CURE - Standing on a Beach YES - Yesshows TWELFTH NIGHT - Live and Let Live Funny how many live albums I bought at the early days (c. 1985-7), because later on I have very rarely bought them. The first 70's album I ordered was GENESIS - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, in the spring of 1987. After that, most of my vinyls were from the 70's.

Owned by daddy (+/- 69 @ age 6) but annexed by yours truly Stand Up Haïr (Musical Tribes) - OST Bought as a gift by mommy (+/- 72): Aqualung (she was horrified at Eyeing little girls with bad intent, snot running down his nose, and My god). Bought with my own money (summer 74 & onwards and more or less in that order @age 11 Harmonium's début (then Fifth Season, as soon as it came out) Crime of The Century Dark Side of The Moon (then Meddle & AHM, then WYWH once it came out) Thick As A Brick Grey & Pink In The Court Selling England In Rock Argus Abbey Road Hot Rocks BTW, I can never thank enough Mississauga's Records On Wheel's manager (he looked like Savoy Brown or Foghat's Roger Earle), who once I completely blew my nmind on Crime OTC, he directed me to the next albums when I asked him if there was more of that stuff. .
