I suspect I may be the oldest regular poster on here (61), but of course I stand to be corrected.
 
I started listening to prog in the mid/late 60s when bands like Traffic, Procul Harum and the Moodies were all the rage in my public school, to be followed later by BJH, King Crimson, Colosseum, Strawbs and ELP, amongst others.

That's actually the exact same for me. But I wasn't exposed to too much prog before around 2008, mainly just jazz and funk.

I'm from '66 and during the early 70's my home soundtrack was already full of prog played by my older brother and sisters so I grew up with Tarkus, Nursery Crime, Yes Album, DSOTM, Tommy, Renaissance etc (along with other classic rock of the period, Beatles, Stones, Lou Reed, Bowie, Purple etc). I started purchasing albums by myself around 1980.

 My first introduction was 2005 When I got TMV's Deloused in the Comatorium, but not seriously til 2007 when I got Rush's Moving Pictures as an impulse buy. Best decision I ever made Smile The only good things to come of high school lol

My prog journey began when I got into King Crimson and Genesis in 2000, so 2000's it is.

Through my three older brothers I got into contact with prog at an early age: the 1970's, when I was still a kid.
I was fascinated by Procol Harum, Ekseption, Focus, ELP etc.
Started being an active prog lover from the mid-1980's.

1972 (but I liked some prog before that year, my first favourite band, from the age of 10, was Ekseption).
