Frankly, I couldn't say: my father always listened to Pink Floyd (and also Jean-Luc Ponty and Pat Metheny), while my mother enjoyed Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin (plus a ton of funk/soul like James Brown or Aretha Franklin).
So, I guess I've been exposed to Progressive music at a very young age. |

First I bought was Echoes - Pink Floyd. Although I never really thought of Pink Floyd as prog or that much different than other Classic Rock artists back then; first I bought where I knew something was different about the music upon listening was Relayer by Yes, so I think that counts more.
Although it was Fragile that got me really into the stuff.

Genesis - And then There Were Three followed by Genesis - Selling England by the Pound. I was probably in the 8-9 year old range.

Without diving into prog-related or proto-prog, my first prog album may have been The Wall. I probably got this when I was around 18 or so, so I was pretty late in getting into prog music. I think I also got my first fusion album, Weather Report's "Heavy Weather" around the same time.

The Wall. The first one I liked was probably Fragile.

When I was a kid in Essex, my cool next door neighbours used to babysit for me, take off my sister's Osmonds singles, and put on Black Sabbath & Deep Purple
 That would have been around 1973.As for myself, my cousin introduced me to Yes GFTO in 1976. I bought it, and a lifelong love affair with prog started. I was just 11 years old. |

'The Wall' Pink Floyd, in 1982. I was 13.
Although I did have 'War of the Worlds' in 1980 aged 11, if that counts. |

after school in my friends home radio was open and I heard something totally new for me: South Side Of The Sky.
So, my first one was Yes: Fragile, followed by Yes: Close To The Edge and King Crimson: Lark Tongues In Aspic ... |

I dabbled, had Yes' greatest hits, 80's Genesis, Some Rush and Floyd, Iron Maiden, worshipped Queensryche and Peter Gabriel (though I found tracks like Family and the Fishing Net and Moribund very strange and difficult.)
I had read that Gabriel had been in Genesis before and thought that sound would probably be pretty cool.
So finally I found Selling England by the Pound at a record store and got it. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight absolutely blew me away from the first notes all the way through until the end. And It still does - probably about 1992 when my ear first heard it.
And that's when I knew I was different than most other music fans. I joined a band of Dream Theater fanatics soon after the rest is history.

You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

Tons of crossover growing up - first official would have been Close To The Edge when I was about 13.

Everyone knows rock attained perfection in 1974, it's a scientific fact.
