ITCOTCK and every time i hear that album i get a feeling, i've never experienced or felt before! It was 8 or 9 months ago, just before I went skiing, and on the ski trip I listened to prog all the time. Now I consider myself a prog'er!

KC's Discipline.
I heard various Zappa/Genesis/PF songs prior to buying Discipline, but I don't count those as they were just songs and not mine. On that note, I assume we had a copy of Dark Side Of The Moon around here somewhere before Discipline...but again, not mine thus I don't count it.

Tool's Lateralus was my first, I didn't know what prog was until several years after that.

A Kansas live album with extended versions of songs my uncle gave me, I believe it was a bootleg. I didn't know it was prog at the time though. My first prog album bought knowing it was prog was Relayer.

ELP's Tarkus & Trilogy and Yessongs were the first prog albums I listened to, but the first I bought myself was this one:

My first full length prog album was Moving Pictures. I had dabbled here and there with different songs from different artists but that was my first actual album.

My first full blown prog album where I realised I was onto something different from the psychedelic rock I'm used to was ELP-S/T. I was hanging out with a friend, and I'd just gotten in that elevated mindset for one of my first times ever. His brother comes in and blasts ELP....I remember it hitting me harder than a train into a small child. I was going crazy, thoughts like "what is this" kept going through my mind, then in Barbarian when it suddenly goes from heavy to soft piano I realised how beautiful this music was. After this I was lost for ten minutes during Take a Pebble...some of the most beautiful music I'd ever heard.
Unfortunately I could never get into ELP as much as many here have, but their first album, Pictures, and the A side of Tarkus are absolutely phenomenal material that will always be with me.

The first rock album I heard (first time in listening ROCK!) was Aphostrophe by Frank Zappa, on the same day I listened Overnite Sensation!

Given that we can't even agree on what was the first prog album, and I was there for all of 'em, I have no idea.
I do know that I stopped listening to Jimmy Dean, Johnny Tillotson, and Terry Stafford (look 'em up on Wikipedia) and the other crap on the radio in rural New Mexico once I heard my first Beatles' single, which would be I Wanna Hold Your Hand. I realize this is not an entirely satisfactory answer, but after The Beatles it all just flowed together. Beatles, Yardbirds, Animals, Zombies. What do I know, I was wha? 11-12 years old? And then the floodgates opened...Cream, Hendrix, Nice and all the rest. A guy grows up listening to this stuff. What the hell's so unusual about Crimson or Yes?

Looking back it actually seems like I may have had Dark Side of the Moon before Relayer... Maybe I didn't, I don't remember  (I don't recall, I got no memory, Of anything... Anything at all)
