 Topic: Your first Prog album?Posted: December 19 2010 at 07:54 |
|
Please remember: What´s your first touch of Prog Rock and when had it happened approximately?
Regarding me, it was Mike Oldfield´s Tubular Bells about 1986, thus in my 17.
EDIT: Dark Side Of The Moon I had listened much earlier, about in my 11. Edited by Gandalff - December 19 2010 at 08:06 |

Thick as a Brick when I was a freshman in high school back in 1973. Friend handed it to me and said you need to listen to this in one sitting. I did and it blew me away. from there got into most of the classic prog bands.

If Iron Maiden albums don't count, it was Arena's Contagion. I was fifteen at the time.

Days of Future Passed in 1967. That album changed the way I listened to music for ever.

Tons of crossover growing up - first official would have been Close To The Edge when I was about 13.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.

I dabbled, had Yes' greatest hits, 80's Genesis, Some Rush and Floyd, Iron Maiden, worshipped Queensryche and Peter Gabriel (though I found tracks like Family and the Fishing Net and Moribund very strange and difficult.)
I had read that Gabriel had been in Genesis before and thought that sound would probably be pretty cool.
So finally I found Selling England by the Pound at a record store and got it. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight absolutely blew me away from the first notes all the way through until the end. And It still does - probably about 1992 when my ear first heard it.
And that's when I knew I was different than most other music fans. I joined a band of Dream Theater fanatics soon after the rest is history.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

after school in my friends home radio was open and I heard something totally new for me: South Side Of The Sky.
So, my first one was Yes: Fragile, followed by Yes: Close To The Edge and King Crimson: Lark Tongues In Aspic ... |

'The Wall' Pink Floyd, in 1982. I was 13.
Although I did have 'War of the Worlds' in 1980 aged 11, if that counts. |

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!
