Maybe See Me Feel Me Touch Me by the Who, when I was 4 years old or something like that. I remember liking that at a very early age, but the chance is big that my memory is playing tricks on me.

When I was about 10 I definitely heard Bungle In the Jungle by Tull and loved that. Someone gave me vinyl Aqualung and I didnt understand it. I heard on radio heaps of Queen and Bowie. Ziggy Stardust spiders From Mars album was heard. Some Pink Floyd was heard but again misunderstood. I heard some early Yes from the 70s, and Genesis. I had Tubular Bells and War of the Worlds on vinyl, as well as Court of Crimson King album...
Amongst that lot was my first prog song but memory fails me as to the specific song.

Van Der Graaf Generator's "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers", I've discovered it on SIRIUS 16 The VAULT way back in April 2007 and it totally blew me away, I've heard it on the Progressions show, it's still ranked among my Top 10 favorite prog rock tunes.

I remember. It was the summer of my sophomore year and my brother and I were staying in Walnut Creek, California and frequenting Rasputin's (a local record store). We bought a copy of Blue Oyster Cult's Fire Of Unknown Origin. After enjoying it very much we went back and asked the clerk there what else he might reccomend and he handed me my first (of many) copy of Rush' 2112. Unfortunately for the next 8 years of my life I was a Rush fan and had no idea that there was a wider world of Prog Rock until I myself started working at record stores, and many years still after that, landed a job at a record store with a Prog enthusiast who showed me the real Genesis. The rest is prog history.

I was in intermediate school when Asia's debut album came out. I don't know that I'd call that prog, but it was my gateway drug: it led to Yes's 90125, which led to everything else.

First that I knew of? YYZ and Carry on Wayward Son on Guitar Hero II. Pull Me Under by DT from a later version was what actually got me into prog though.
Growing up I would hear Owner of a Lonely Heart, as well as later Genesis songs on the radio. I don't think that was quite the same though.

Floyd - "Money". It all started for me with the radio, so ... . If asking for "real" prog, then "The Court of the Crimson King", I think.

ProMetaller  I honestly can't say or remember which was first, the reason is that I had no idea it was prog, only later I found out that what I tend to like/listen is considered/named prog

Back when they played great music on the radio: 'Roundabout' got me into Yes; 'Aqualung' got me into Jethro Tull - both in 1971 when I was 12...

Red Barchetta By Rush, My parents taped their wedding song over it and gave it to the DJ to play at the reception. I found it years later in my Dad's old apartment that he hung on to for years. Even though it cut in midway through the song I listened to it for years. For the record, this was the Exit Stage...Left Version and I was about 4-5 years old.

Since first 3 Floyd albums are pure psychedelia, I'll say Atom Heart Mother, the song.
