I believe my first prog albums were the Rush Chronicles. After I was blown away by that compilation, I listened to all of my dad's old Rush records and I became an instant Rush fan. Of course, I always thought Rush was just a hard rock band. It wasn't until I bought the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway that I found out about this wonderful thing called prog. That's why to this day, Rush and Genesis are my two favorite prog bands.

And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

Pink Floyd's "Animals" is the frist progressive rock album I really
fell in love with. After that was probably Rush's "Moving Pictures".
This was all back when I was a freshman in High School.

Dream Theater - Images and
Words, about a year ago now. not only was it my first Prog CD, it was
also one of my first CDs (I bought it and Billy Talent at the same
time, so technically, they're both my first CDs). up until then I'd
just been listening to mp3s. the first prog album I ever heard was DT's
Scenes From A Memory, which started it all for me.

I welcomed prog in my world with two albums that I got on the same day, September 24 2003: Hemispheres (Rush) and To My Children's Children's Children (The Moody Blues) After listening to Hemis for a week or so, I made the decision to follow the more rocking path laid down by Rush...and that path has by now led me quite deep inside the prog jungle.

for me it was either Court of the Crimson King, the First ELP
album, or The Yes Album.. Jethro Tull was right in
there as well with Thick as a Brick.

Nursery Cryme
I bought it strictly because of the cover. I just knew I was about to walk into something totally different that would alter how I would view music forever....
....just because of that freaky artwork.

It was actualy very weird, it was rick wakeman's journey to the centre of the earth, and i had no idea of wath progressive rock was.
I think mr wakeman really deserves an  for that one,
if you count Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band as a prog, then that would be it

That would be Genesis - We Can't Dance. If that ain't prog enough, then
Peter Gabriel's 'Us'. After that I started to work my way through older
Genesis (Tresspass, Nursery Crime...) This was in 1992-1993.

On vinyl - Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, not long after it was released.
On cassette -Pictures at an Exhibition or Tarkus by ELP.
Neitherwas the first album I ever bought, that was either Brain Capers by Mott the Hoople or Wishbone Ash's first album.

Pink Floyd - The Wall. And at the time I had no idea what Prog even
was. Listening to that album back then probably blew a fuse in my
brain, because I never realized that an album could tell on ongoing
story (concept album) or generally be so adventurous. Of course, that
album seldom impresses me today. ;)
