But curiously enough, when I heard Sgt. Pepper's in the first years of my Prog phase (in 1976), as an introduction in my music class by our teacher, I found it poppish of course but also weird - which supprised me.

That was certainly the case for me as well in the beginning of my Prog worshipping - and for many years from then.

First phase: The Beatles blue album (1967-1970 sampler). This must've been around 1975/76. Second phase: Manfred Mann's Earth Band - Nightingales and Bombers. Discovered 1979. Discovered in 80/81: Tangerine Dream - Ricochet, Eloy - Live I think I also got KC's Discipline and Holger Czukay's Movies already in 1981, which are favourites to this day, but took some time to reach the top spots. I still absolutely love Nightingales and Bombers, whereas Ricochet and Eloy Live lost some ground; these days I prefer other albums of these bands (I'm not that crazy about Eloy anymore who were my number one band for some years, but I still appreciate some of their material). There was a time when I wouldn't want to listen to the Beatles, my first musical love, anymore, maybe because of distancing myself from me as a child; they only came back in my thirties. I also loved Abba in the "first phase" aged under 10, they took until my late fourties to come back.

My first favourite albums that are still favourites will have to be most Beatles albums from Rubber Soul and onwards. When I was 8-9, my favourite album was probably Roxette - Joyride, but nowadays I have a more distanced relationship with it. From a pure pop perspective it very well crafted, without a doubt, but it is not exactly great art. I still enjoy it though. Before that (5-8), it had been the soundtrack from the film version of the musical Hair.

I remember my first two - Alice Cooper's Billion Dollar Babies and Genesis Live. After that, no idea but probably included some Yes and Led Zeppelin. Possibly an Alice Cooper album called School Days which was a compilation of his first two albums.

Yes, I get the gist, Jared, and your working backwards was surely a good thing to do. A couple of years after the beginning of my worshipping music, and in the years 1975-77, I was almost only into Prog and albums like: Oldfield - the first three Mahavishnu - Birds of Fire Return To Forever - Where Have I Known You Secret Oyster - Sea Sun Jean-Luc Ponty - Upon the Wings of Music Stomu Yamashta - Raindog Wakeman - Six Wifes, Myths, No Earthly Floyd - Wish You Were Focus - Hamburger Concerto Genesis - Trespass, Selling PFM - Photos of Ghosts Jarre - Oxygene Tangerine Dream - Stratosfear - mostly instrumental music and much Jazz-Rock.

Genesis: Duke... then worked backwards
Yes: Drama... then worked backwards Rush: Signals/ GUP... then worked backwards Black Sabbath: Heaven & Hell... then worked backwards Barclay James Harvest: Ring Of Changes... then worked backwards Alan Parsons Project: Eye In The Sky... then worked backwards Marillion: Script... then worked forwards Deep Purple: In Rock, Led Zep IV and so on... I think you get the gist for someone born in 1968.. Edited by Jared - May 03 2022 at 05:06 |

Another album, I became very fond of those years, was Jesus Christ Superstar, introduced to my class by our music teacher.

Don't really remember. In the late 60's, The Carpenters, The Beatles, The Monkees, and The Partridge Family come to mind. I remember watching The Monkees and Partridge Family on TV on the weekends. Still love The Carpenters... think I had a Greatest Hits album.
The first two albums I bought were Thick as a Brick and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Tull remains a favorite. Others, if memory serves, Robin Trower Bridge of Sighs, Alice Cooper Love it to Death, Killer, Schools Out and Billion Dollar Babies, and Frank Zappa Apostrophe.

When I was 4-5 years old (1973-75), I was pretty focused on these albums ( my dad graciously let me play them on my own )
