Your first prog album

I can't clearly remember wich was the first prog cd that I bought, but I'm sure that I first listened The young person's guide to King Crimson, thanks to my father's vinyl collection, that introduced me to prog and 70's music ( one of the best things that happened to me )

I think that I was fourteen when I first payed that album and heard Epitaph. Now, 14 years later, they're still my favourite band. 

Then came Tarkus, Fragile, Close to the edge, Yes Album, Foxtrot........

My first prog album was Mike Oldfield's "Crises" - I heard it when I was about 10 years old, maybe even younger, I don't recall it that well. I bought it because of Moonlight Shadow of course, but thought the 20-minute title track was really great stuff, although obviously I didn't know it was something called progressive music then.  Still have that CD, it's somewhat battered and bruised now.  But it still plays ok tho.

Then for years I listened to pop and metal mainly, and some Oldfield of course, and then suddenly I found out about Dream Theater, then worked my way slowly to Genesis, Yes, Floyd and all that, and after that there was no turning back.

That's the power of prog! As Gatot said in a review, prog rules the world.
