Hi,
 
I never looked at any music as "prog" or "progressive" and it actually confused me when I first saw that designation in the 1990's in the Fido boards and such. In many cases, it was not even an apt description at all.
 
At 63, I still don't listen to anything because it is something or other!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Back in my formative years, Close to the Edge, Fragile, The Yes Album, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Pictures at an Exhibition, Tarkus, and in the Court of the Crimson King were the essence of my being.

Come to think of it, they remain so today!

I agree. I think hearing "In The Court of the Crimson King" for the first time, more so than "21st Century Schizoid Man", was one of my earliest prog moments. I say one, because I believe I got the same general feeling hearing the "Are You Sitting Comfortably/The Dream/Have You Heard/The Voyage" suite from The Moody Blues' On the Threshold of a Dream album, and also listening to Tull's Thick as a Brick for the first time.

Difficult to remember exactly, because I really got into the "prog sound" (a term which I never used or heard until years later) when I was 11 or 12 in 1971-72. There was a sensory overload of great albums at that time. You just turned on the radio and heard one great song after another.

"Watcher of the Skies." I even talk about this in my collab bio. A friend of mine played it and had me listen intently. It blew me away. Of course then I had to hear the rest of the album which led to "Supper's Ready." But it was the initial track that opened my eyes.

In a Glass House (the track).  The first time I heard it I don't think I really understood much of what was going on.

Not my introduction to Prog, which actually came from the radio, but probably the first truly Prog album I bought. Yeah, any and all. I listen to too much Prog to list all the songs that scream it to me.

Cool. Probably because of that wailing TRON at the beginning. So epic. :)

Ok. Cool thread.

From the classic era. Genesis's The Musical Box. Lots of transitions and the song is very theatrical. Everything that Prog rock typically embodies only done extremely well. :)

From a more modern era (21st century) I gotta go with Dream Theater's The Glass Prison. This song is insane and screams Prog at me every time I hear it. The time sigs are nuts and the song constantly changes is tone, tempo and overall mood by being heavy, melodic and downright fantastic. I've always felt that The Glass Prison is a wonderful representation of Prog music in general. It has just about anything you want in a song. I was truly blown away when I first heard it. I was like 'what the f-- ck is this??'

Gimmie my headphones now!!! 🎧🤣
