The album that got me into prog was "Aquiring The Taste" by Gentle Giant, that album is awesome.
The first I bought was "Free Hand" by the same band...

The first prog albums I purchased ('cause I already dug Genesis by my older brother's influence) were Rush Subdivisions, Asia (first) and Genesis Abacab (you can tell the year, 1982, by the choice, that order also included Toto IV, btw their new album is great too). Greetings Mogens

Liquid Tension Experiment 2. An amazing record! "When the water breaks" is sheer brilliance.

Caress of Steel by Rush was the first album with proper prog songs I
heard. The Fountain of Lamneth enchanted me. Now I'm stuck.

Okay, I'm seriously going to date myself, but...
Piper at the Gates of Dawn and In the Court of the Crimson King. I had already heard such proto-prog as Vanilla Fudge and Sgt. Pepper. Thus, I was there at the very beginning, youngsters, when the word "prog" had barely been coined...
Peace.

I bought Nursery Cryme on cassette when I was thirteen and I was definitely converted to prog! Some months later I bought my first prog album, it was Oldfield's double lp Airborn - I'm still waiting for a cd edition just for the live lp (taken from the Exposed tour but from different concerts)

Some Ozric Tentacles album. Can't remember which. This one guy once started playing Ozric Tentacles at English class (the teacher asked if anyone had music we could play) and I liked it so much I just had to buy some album by them :)

That album gives me a headache. I'm not sure why; it's really not that heavy, and I turn the volume down to around 5 to compensate for the deafening mixing volume.

If Pink Floyd aren't prog, what is? Wish You Were Here is a lot more prog than Aqualung...

I don't think Uriah Heep Very 'eavy Very 'umble counts as prog, why not...
... but my first real prog album was Genesis Trespass and I still, after listening it hundreds of times and about 500 other prog albums in 36 years time, I still consider it to be the all time best prog album!
