In my first years of music interests I was too young and poor to buy albums. (9 yrs old, 1967) But when I did start buying LP's it might have looked like this. The Archies - The Archies 1968 ELP - S/T 1970 Grand Funk - Live 1970 Gas Mask - Their First Album 1970 Paul McCartney - Ram 1971 Deep Purple - Fireball 1971 And the rest, as they say, is history. ------------- Thank you for supporting independently produced music |

I had some Elvis Presley records and Sha Na Na records when I was younger. In 1982, I got a two record K-Tel Hit List of current pop hits. My first two "proper" records were Christmas of 83 when I received Def Leppard's Pyromania and Quiet Riot's Metal Health. I still have nostalgia when I hear those two albums. The first record I ever bought with my own money was Judas Priest's British Steel, which again is still a favorite. I didn't get into Prog until years later and that door was opened by Rush. -------------

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.

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.. |

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.

| 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. |

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.

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.

That was certainly the case for me as well in the beginning of my Prog worshipping - and for many years from then. ------------- quality over quantity, and all kind of PopcoRn almost beyond |

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.
