Although I had the Dark side of the moon (just cause you have to have it) and I liked it, it wasnt until I heard King Crimson that I got stuck with prog

???You got albums by all 7 bands at the same time and simultaneously got into prog by listening to them all at the same time?
commitment issues.......?

I was thinking about buying Hamburger Concerto today online, but I bought Relayer by Yes instead. But Focus is definitely next.

Alright, fair enough.

I would protest, but I am guilty as charged. That said, I get a kick out of some of your fanboyisms as well, so I don't feel too bad 
| While its possible I suppose, its just not very likely |
I would say the poll results reflect that... of 101 votes, Magma has garnered all of 1.

Well, your question wasn't about preference, it was about who got you into prog, which would:
a) explain why it took this long and
b) make your use of the :rolleyes somewhat odd... presumably MS did get into prog via Magma, and presumably, he would've voted other if you hadn't included them.
Also, do you have a vendetta against Magma? Just curious...
I love Magma (as I'm sure you well know; you've called me out on it several times), but I wouldn't pick them for this poll because it would be a downright lie. |

I just wanted to see who would say, yeah, I got into prog via Magma. While its possible I suppose, its just not very likely, given their relative obscurity as an avante garde French band (in comparison to the Big 5) and due to the complexity of their music. Its not likely that someone would initially get into prog via Magma, but discover Magma after getting into prog via other groups.

I'm glad we agree 
Also keep in mind that my post is light-hearted and curious, not attacking you (the one you quoted).

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I've been listening to Tull and Rush since birth I think. I found the Moody Blues because of the Beatles, and I've always loved Floyd. But I always thought of them as more psychedelic rock than prog rock. Yes made me aware of the genre, so I voted Yes.

It was Pink Floyd's "Wish you were here". At that time (1976) it was the opening music for a disco club I used to go. I liked very much, I buy the record and then "Dark side of the moon", and then Genesis's "Wind & Wuthering"...
Recently I'm working as a DJ in a disco club when they organize some "retro party", and I always start the session with some Pink Floyd song...just as a reminder of those glorious times   (mixed emotions). |
