How did you get into prog?

   A friend. 
Though I did like some prog bands before I even knew what prog was. Symphony X, Dream Theater, and I guess Pink Floyd. 

Also had prog tendencies, like my love for SoaD and general weird/anti mainstream/technical music. 
Just took someone to introduce me to actual world of prog and a while to put it all together.
