The Wall - Pink Floyd.
It was 1982 I think. I was about 12.

That's kind of what happened to me.  Prog was around in a major way the '70's and so I got exposed to some through the radio, but if I had to pick a single band responsible, it would be Genesis. I was listening to and enjoying Follow You Follow Me on the radio and then got introduced to earlier Genesis and the whole wide world of prog out there. I liked Hocus Pocus, the Wakeman albums (Journey and Arthur), ELP's Toccata, but Genesis really got me to turn my back on pop. Kind of ironic.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

 It wasn´t my album. It belonged to my sister. She had just turned 18 and had received her birthday present from Mum and Dad. A STEREO !! Luckily my sis was never home so I used to creep into her bedroom, grab a pillow and lay on her bedroom floor between her STEREO SPEAKERS.
She had a number of singles with some cool Jethro Tull, a lot of Kinks but the album that caught my attention had an amazing cover. It was Led Zeppelin Two. Can you imagine the impression an album of this calibre left on young people. The Stereo tracking for Whole Lotta Love was a revolution for modern music in those days.
Still today some forty years later I remember what this album did for my understanding of music in general.
It doesn´t have to be classical, traditional, bound by musical rules or everyones taste.
This was my first prog album and I am proud to have been born in time to have witnessed LED ZEPPELIN in full flight. Some people say THE WHO or DEEP PURPLE were the best rock band in town. Beleive me I have seen them all and LED ZEPPELIN were the boys to see.

Don't laugh... I bought this when it was new ("...back in '82"). And yes, I was a 13 year old virgin...
