My first full length prog album was Moving Pictures.  I had dabbled here and there with different songs from different artists but that was my first actual album.

Pardon my ignorance but which album is ITCOTCK

In the Court of the Crimson King by King Crimson.

A Kansas live album with extended versions of songs my uncle gave me, I believe it was a bootleg.  I didn't know it was prog at the time though.  My first prog album bought knowing it was prog was Relayer.

KC's Discipline.
 
I heard various Zappa/Genesis/PF songs prior to buying Discipline, but I don't count those as they were just songs and not mine. On that note, I assume we had a copy of Dark Side Of The Moon around here somewhere before Discipline...but again, not mine thus I don't count it.

That's the one with the black prism in the cover?


Yeah, there's also this track with clocks, and coins cascading onto each other! It's pretty trippy eh, you should check it out sometime!

Wasn't that a cheap remake of this album?

No, that one's a remake of the Flaming Lips album. Wink

Oh yeah, I've heard about it, but can't find it anywhere in the record shops, I've heard they haven't remastered it yet. Well, hopefully someday they will...
