Well, the first prog album I heard (and bought) was "Concerto Grosso" by New Trolls. I was not yet a teenager, and I already was into Italian prog. Then, a few years later, I heard DSOTM, ITCOTCK and other English masterpieces.

Me too. I was mostly into heavy rock at the time but when I heard this I knew if was something different, something special, although I was pretty much unaware of the term "progressive rock" at the time.
 
I know I've been rude about Geddy's voice and Neil's lyrics on here - but I owe Rush a lot really!

Dream Theater's 'Scenes from a Memory'.
And the only thing I liked about that album was the instrumental piano part.... Thank god I played it often enough to get to love the music as a whole, and that was the beginning of an extensive music-collection, which will hopefully grow over the next couple of years.

Focus on the music... Focus!

I'm sure you can get most of them on vinyl even today. Might have to pay a pretty penny for some of them, but any of the bigger albums should be available on GEMM at reasonable prices.

Eeh.. Kinda contradicting yourself , aren't you? Anyway, you can easily find cheap (cheaper than new cds) vinyls in excellent condition on ebay. Actually I have replaced a lot of my cds with vinyls after I discovered ebay.Smile LPs rule !

DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.
 
I think this was one of the first albums I ever bought
 
(apart from KTel Hothits some other 70's glam rock unmentionables!!!)
 
Still rates as one of my all time favourites.

Also Dream Theater's Images & Words... but it was Yes with Close to the Edge and Pink Floyd with Dark Side of the Moon that got me to see more than just Progressive Metal, but also Symphonic and other kinds of Prog.
