Deep Purple - Book of Taliesyn or Led Zep II at 10 yo.
I didn't really understand that the genre had a name back then. They were just rock bands.
 
The first that would be desribed as absolutely prog was In The Court of The Crimson King........that same year - 1970.
And for a moment when our world had filled the skies, Magic turned our eyes,

I do not remember my first Prog album...: Hmmm... Banco del Mutuo Soccorso S/t in MC format, I think... But if you see Prog in all forms... I think David Bowie "Space Oddity" or Led Zeppelin "The Sound Remains The Same". But also "Vintage Magnum" or T. Rex "The Collection" and Tyrannosaurus Rex "BBC Radio1Live in Concert" was between my first Prog buying.

Hmmm... I am from Friuli Venezia Giulia, North East of Italy. But this is not the bacause my first Prog album is this. It is only a case, only because I have heard a Banco's song and Banco immediately please me!

But my first Prog listen to was Alan Parsons Project "Eye In The Sky" in MC format via my brother in 1982 and Mike Oldfield in 1983. 

And I am born in 1978!!!

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells, 1974, age 14. However, at that point I didn't really compartmentalise music into genres
 
First album bought with prog specifically in mind?
Yes - Tales From Topographic Oceans, 1976, age 16. Talk about in at the deep end!!

My brothers first was probably Dark Side of the Moon, but the first album from progarchives he found was either Selling England by the Pound or Fairyport by Wigwam. Before that time we just thought Genesis was some stupid 80's Band! Well we were wrong! Smile

1989 - Dream Theater -- When Dream and Day Unite, was 17 at that time, Thanks to my  late grandmother who posted the cassette all the way from Germany to Namibia, after I read a review of the album in a magazine and asked her to purchase the album for me, as such music was not available in Namibia at that time.  Still my favourite Dream Theater album and one of my all time favourte prog albums.

I had War of the Worlds too, being an avid Sci-Fi reader at an early age.   I think that this was my first truly Prog album.

I'm a sci/fi fan too, so it certainly checked all the right boxes for me. I used to listen to it in bed late at night with the lights out, on an oversized pair of headphones...ah those were the days, if only I had the time now for such things.Cry
