Kingston Wall's debut & Jethro Tull's Aqualung. I got them at the same time (borrowed from a friend). This was in 2002 or 2003, I think.

Mine was Dark Side of the Moon. Nicked it off my dad when I was 14 and listened to it a few (many) times.

Mine was one of the following - Dream Theater-Awake or Rush-2112. Both were heard the same day but can't remember which was first! But thanks to both Rush and DT, my eyes are open and I have seen "the light"

The Human Equation by Ayreon or Terria by Devin Townsend. I'm not sure which came first, I think it was Devy, though

"Echoes" from Meddle (recorded on tape by a friend) and RELAYER. Boy, what an initiation!

Same for me. Well, when I got that album in 2003, that marked the beginning of my true love of prog. That's why I derived my user name from its opening lyrics, which to me are symbolic of me entering the world of prog. Corny, I know. In the 90's, I was into Dark Side of the Moon & Selling England by the Pound, but there really wasn't any cherry-breaking then because I wasn't into other prog, and I didn't even know what prog was at that point!

Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me. And do I take you by the hand and lead you through the land and help me understand the best I can

Well, I grew up liking Rush but my first album as in conciously exploring the genre would probably be King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King. But I think I had heard Camel's Lady Fantasy and Genesis' The Knife before that, and of coursem Yes - Roundabout on the radio.

Ew. The internet comes up with some of the grossest metaphors.
DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, and Meddle.

It was Meddle, closely followed by Close to the Edge.

In the Court of the Crimson King and Dark Side of the Moon were my first two
It's interesting that Castlevania's Uncle Meat popped his cherry - gross

1967 Days of Future Passed Moody Blues
Not that progressive, but certainly the first; at that time, their music was called "Classical Rock" by DJ's and print media. At about the same time, I also heard/bought Iron Butterfly, Fever Tree, The Mothers, Deep Purple, Spirit, Vanilla Fudge, Procol Harum and other genre-bending artists.
