Hold on ... let me find a similar thread ... no, wait ...

... there are two threads like that, if I remember correctly.

Those are kind of similar:

My first musical love was the mid 90s punk rock and some metal classics. Perhaps on one end it was some bits from Metallica and Maiden that opened my mind for lengthier track structures, and the Finnish quirky progpoprock band Absoluuttinen Nollapiste opened my mind for general weirdness. This led to hearing and liking Dream Theater and Tool, and the stage was set for King Crimson, Rush, Camel and others to walk in.

It's on PA!

Interested to hear how people got into progressive music in the first place and what was the first prog they heard that led them along the path.

My gateway was heavy rock. Went from being a NWOBHM fan in my early teens, digging Rush and the neo-prog revival stuff like Marillion then moving on to Genesis, King Crimson, Camel and Floyd and by then I was hooked for life.

First prog song I heard and liked - The Trees by Rush

I think that many people move from heavy music to prog but maybe there are some that got stuck in straight away, came from a classical background or even went from listening to pop music to loving prog. Interested to hear.

They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
