let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

I remember buying Yes's Relayer album solely based on the album cover, with only the knowledge that I liked Long Distance Runaround, Roundabout, and Your Move/I've Seen All Good People. Best decision I'd made in a long time.

Close To The Edge just a few days after it was released. I was a sophomore in HS. That album, specifically And You And I, changed my musical tastes forever.

Music is serious business. Enjoy it!

It was Genesis - the lamb lies down on broadway, followed by all the prog albums by them. Then it was Yes with close to the edge and then everything else came...

2112 I think.
Although I did hear Pink Floyd's The Division Bell at 9 years old or something. Its still about my favourite album ever.

Technically, I think it was Kansas, but my first love of Prog came from Genesis, I do believe.

In prog the album di terra for BMS.. Absolutely brilliant (it reminds me Stravinsky's Rite of Spring)
Generally in music, Albert Ayler shake my world. I couldn't believe what i've heard. Magic genius madness

I was already pretty familiar with Rush and Yes, but it wasn't until I first purchased and heard In The Court of the Crimson King that everything clicked.

"Smogmagica" by Le Orme. I didn't like it, but it made me very curious about 1970s rock in Italy and abroad
