I got into "Court of the Crimson King" and "Thick as a Brick" my freshman year of high school. Everyone else was listening to Michael Jackson and Men at Work... I did what I could to spread the word... but most people just didn't get it.

If it's worth playing, it's worth playing loud!

Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here. It was also one of my first albums, I
bought it together with Nirvana's in Utero around 8 months ago
during a holiday in Germany.

No doubts on this one... Fragile by Yes.
Bought it in 1975, and loved it ever since!

I listened heavymetal as an angry teenager, and DEATH's "Human" might be my first prog-album, if you accept DEATH as a prog (I'm not sure if it is).
Next step in my music evolution occured as I read from a newspaper an interview of girls going to Guns'n'Roses concert. They were asked, if they liked URIAH HEEP. They thought it was something terrible old music, andmotivated by this I went straight to record shop and bought URIAH HEEP's "Magician's Birthay".
I'm gettin' closer to the consensus of prog classification, but the last step was taken as I bought YES's "Yesterdays", as it had same kind of neat covers as Uriah Heep did. Thanks Roger!

Merlin by Kayak. I loved it, especially side 1, although I bought it because of the hitsingle on side 2, Seagull.
It's not only my 1st album in prog, but also my 1st album in general, by the way.

My first prog rock album? I remember that day about 5 years ago I bought AQUALUNG... Good album, I like Jethro Tull but I'm not a big fan of this band... Second prog album was "In the Court of the Crimson King" I bought maybe one month later and I became totally addicted to prog...

Queensryche's "Promised Land". At first I didn't like... I got Dream Theater's "Images And Words" and instantly fell in love with DT. But now I listen to "Promised Land" more often and really like it.

Mmmm... maybe Mike Oldfield's Amarok. I had listened to 'Islands' before, but just for the song 'Magic Touch'. I had seen the video on TV when it came out, and to this day it's still one of my favourites. One or two years later I bought 'Earth Moving'. When 'Amarok' came out, I bought it... and got a bit astonished. I even remember what I was doing when I listened to it the first time (washing the dishes!). It took me 3 or 4 years more to know about prog as a genre (remember, almost no internet then). The first record I bought knowing what I was getting into was 'Thick as a Brick'...
...And, from this day, I'm lost for social life. I became... A GEEK. Well, at least geeker than I was.

Lurker here too, just joined about 5 minutes ago. 
Album that I first listened to, prog-wise, was my dad's 'DSOTM'.

I’d say Yes’ Fragile, followed closely by Genesis’ Nursery Cryme. This is not counting Supertramp’s Breakfast in America (my first ever full-length album, acquired as a birthday present when I turned 10), ELO’s On The Third Day or a number of Todd Rundgren albums.

Yes' Relayer. You people will probably think it's amazing I stuck with them (to eventually become the complete Yes maniac of late!) after listening to that album as an introduction to Yes music ...
... but I still adore it to bits. *hugs it*
I swear, listening to that as background whilst studying totally helped my Calculus mark.

WOW! maybe i should do that. |
Definitely. Yes is good for things like that.

I think my first prog CD was an either Pink Floyd's P-U-L-S-E that I
bought in the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris last year (for those
of you who are interested, it was the day after a section of the roof
collapsed unexpectedly) or Ummagumma (I got them around the same time).
My first prog vinyl was Leftoverture by Kansas which my friend gave me
last year because he got a bunch of vinyls for free when he bought a
tape player and didn't like them at all. Unfortunately, it had a huge
crack in it, so I never listened to it. The first prog albums I bought
(I got them all at the same time) were Song for America by Kansas, Red
by King Crimson, Breakfast in America by Supertramp, Meddle by Pink
Floyd, The Pros and Cons of Hitchhikking by Roger Waters, and Dave
Gilmour's self titled album.
