When I was a little kid, I liked The Beatles a lot as well as Threshold Of A Dream by The Moody Blues. In 8th Grade, in 2002-2003, when I was thirteen, I really got into King Crimson for some reason and listened to ITCotCK about five times a day, with maybe a play of Lizard somewhere in there. Then I learned to like LTiA and SaBB just as much, and I built a Crimson Shrine in my locker(no joke) and then, after losing interest in Crimson for a while, it was rekindled like crazy and I started learning about ELP, as well as Yes, and Genesis, and Jethro Tull, and of course Pink Floyd.
Three of A Perfect Pair by King Crimson was my first "official" prog album.

First prog song that struck me to the innermost of mine heart was Dream Theater - Pull Me Under.
Then, my first prog album was "Images And Words".

My first was Tool - Aenima. This also was my first entry into music whatsoever. Brought it in my first year of high school off a recommedation from a friend and have never turned back since.

Mine was actually THREE FRIENDS by Gentle Giant. I listened to it at the CD store because of the funky looking giant on the cover and because it was cheep.
I nearly jumped out of my seat. Been hooked ever since.

I can't remember that far back.
It was over 30 years ago, best guess would be The Yes Album, or Rush - All The World's A Stage

Pink Floyd - Animals - I will always hold this album dear.
Though I first heard Jethro Tull's Aqualung when I was a toddler.

I'm new here, but I can identify with this one...I borrowed Fragile from my dad and have been hooked on Yes ever since. That was actually the first rock album I ever listened to.

I started out as a Beatle freak (and still am), so I was exposed to their prog elements. The first true prog album I ever bought was "Dark Side of the Moon." But, the one that created my passion for the genre was "Foxtrot."

Pink Floyd's LP "Meddle" some 30+ years ago...at the time I even hadn't a turntable to listen to. But I knew it to the last note. I remember my friend's brother used to say every time the "Echoes" ended, he was going to commit suicide. What a song! The best epic from Floyd...

ITCOTKC and ELP's debut album.
My parents were children/teens of the 60s/early 70s, and they weaned me on prog. I am of course grateful, but then again they had no choice due to the tripe that the 80s and early 90s produced on mainstream radio and MTV.
Bought these 2 albums when movin out on my own........and haven't looked back since!
