i remember that song, i first heard on GH4, which i played to song on, and that basically (with other Guitar Hero and Rock Band games) made me become a classic rock and later on (now) a progressive rock fan as well

If you don't count the normal Floyd, Kansas, and Rush stuff that even most mainstream music lovers have heard, I would say the first prog song I heard was "Pull Me Under" from DT. It's still a great song, but I don't really have any interest in DT anymore.

First prog song is a toughie - first prog albums would be Abbey Road (by the Beatles, a popular but underrated British music combo in the sixties) or Brain Salad Surgery (ELP).

My first was Pink Floyd's "Time," which my Dad played for me back in eighth grade (about 5-6 years ago). My Dad was a major source of of prog and rock in general for me early on and introduced me to a ton of bands, and is probably the reason why I have my current preferences for prog, metal, and classic/pop rock.

The first I can remember is Rush's R30 Medley (when my Dad got the R30 DVD). But my first song was way too early in my life for me to remember.

I probably heard a bunch of Pink Floyd or ELP's Lucky Man at some point on the radio, but the first song I deliberately listened to, knowing that it was progressive rock, was In the Court of the Crimson King, coming across it while reading about the groups various Asia members came from. It certainly hooked me on the genre right away.

Hmmm...not counting Beatles or Moody Blues songs, it was probably "Aqualung" when I was 11.

Possibly "The Runaway" from Gentle Giant when I first discovered FM radio. I'll always remember the sound of the glass smashing. Didn't rediscover the song until a few years ago when I picked up the album.

Heard Yes-Roundabout when it first debuted on FM radio in 1971 (I was in junior high-school). That got me to buy Yes-Fragile, which got me into other English and European progressive bands of the early 1970s...

I guess OK Computer, but Radiohead isn't generally a progressive band in the traditional sesne so Dream Theater with Images I suppose, if you're even more accepting on borderlines of prog then SOAD was one of my first too.

My first prog song was 'Repent Walpurgis' by Procol Harum. I believe it was in 1968 and my drum teacher had me play along with it. He lived next door and I was 8 years old. He had this huge console stereo that was so loud it was unreal. He would have me play along to records, after teaching me the parts.
Fond memories, for sure. And I'd never heard anything so powerful as Procol. I was a bit intimidated, to say the least.
