I started with The Wall. I loved that the album was a story, not just a bunch of songs. Every time I listened to it I would pick up something new. Then came more Floyd, then all the other '70's prog bands, the rest is history.

Erm, well the first prog I heard was my brother's Pink Floyd CDs,
DSOTM, The Wall, Echoes, and P.U.L.S.E. (plus others). As well as
Tubular Bells (1 and 2), plus some Queensryche albums.
But before that and during that same time, I saw the Moody Blues twice
(this would be the 1980s sometime) with my parents. Plus my
parents used to play a lot their albums. My mother likes Barclay
James Harvest, especially Glasnost.
One of my first CD purchases was Moody Blues "Caught Live + 5".
If you don't include proto-prog, then my first real prog CDs were strangely Van der Graaf Generator!
From memory, I think I heard King Crimson - ITCOTCK after I purcharsed my first VdGG albums.
So it's a bit odd how I got into VdGG before most other prog.
James.

The first rock album I bought was 'Sheer Heart Attack' by Queen in the autumn of '84, and that contains several proggy passages (notably the long guitar solo in 'Brighton Rock'). My first real prog album was 'Misplaced Childhood', which I got for Christmas in '85.

That was a lot of years ago, but I'm pretty sure it was Thick As A Brick. I still love that album.

The first that I heard was Trick of the Tail by Genesis. My dad was the one who originally got me into prog rock in general.
The first that I bought was Trespass. I've loved prog ever since.

My first prog album was A Farewell To Kings by Rush. It was my dad's album.
But the first prog album I bought was In The Court Of The Crimson King.

Now I got to remember quite a bit back when I didn't know what prog
was. I think it was either Aqualung or Thick as a Brick...either that
or one of Tangerine Dream's soundtracks probably the excellent Thief
soundtrack.

In The Wake Of Poseidon bought while still in school when it was released way back in 1970! Not a bad start!

Pink Floyd, The Wall was my first entry, about 4 or 5 years ago (Before
that I was listening Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Queen, Radiohead, etc)
Out of PF it was In the Court of the Crimson King and then Close to the Edge that really open my mind to prog rock.

My first prog album was Mike Oldfield's "Crises" - I heard it when I was about 10 years old, maybe even younger, I don't recall it that well. I bought it because of Moonlight Shadow of course, but thought the 20-minute title track was really great stuff, although obviously I didn't know it was something called progressive music then.  Still have that CD, it's somewhat battered and bruised now.  But it still plays ok tho.
Then for years I listened to pop and metal mainly, and some Oldfield of course, and then suddenly I found out about Dream Theater, then worked my way slowly to Genesis, Yes, Floyd and all that, and after that there was no turning back.
That's the power of prog! As Gatot said in a review, prog rules the world.
