I believe it was either Yes - Fragile or Close to the Edge.  I can't remember which one.

Depending on your definition of prog it was either Queen and Queen II (bought simultaneously) or King Crimson's debut.

The Yes Album was my first "prog" album, by what this forum defines as prog. But, really, my roots in progressive rock began with Deep Purple's The Book of Taliesyn. But, my favorite band has been Genesis, ever since.
 
Genesis' music is like a pleasant middle-area, amidst all of the contrasting sides (forms) of prog rock.

The first prog album I heard was probably The Wall or Aqualung, but it was Relayer that really got me interested in the genre.

Too complex question:

  1. First Prog album I heard: Look at yourself (Didn't knew it was Prog and didn't even knew that Prog existed, but loved it)
  2. First Prog album I liked after knowing it was Prog: Yessongs
  3. First Prog album that hooked me: Six Wives of Henry the VIII
  4. First album that made me a proghead: Selling England by the Pound
