I bought 4000 copies of Scenes From A Memory and tries to sell them to everyone in my school system to try to get them into prog. It didn't work.

I think it was Saga's "In transit", back in 1982. Haven't heard it for ages, but
I have fond memories of it.

Probably The Moody Blues' "Days of Future Passed". After that I bought "Close To The Edge"....

I can't clearly remember wich was the first prog cd that I bought, but I'm sure that I first listened The young person's guide to King Crimson, thanks to my father's vinyl collection, that introduced me to prog and 70's music ( one of the best things that happened to me )

I think that I was fourteen when I first payed that album and heard Epitaph. Now, 14 years later, they're still my favourite band. 

Then came Tarkus, Fragile, Close to the edge, Yes Album, Foxtrot........

Rush...Grace Under Pressure & Signals, when I was 15... I just thought they were superb!

The first three groups I listened to are (in strict chronological order):

  • The Beatles
  • Pink Floyd
  • Queen


So, if we don't consider The White Album or Abbey Road as prog, my first taste would have been The Wall, which I didn't like very much...then came Animals and I really got into it (I still rate it as the best Floyd album)

That was way back in 1987

Yes - Close To The Edge

 

That was way back in 1984.  Today it still moves me totally.

I first bought Animals and Dark side the sam time but i didn´t give it the time i sould. I was listening to Scorpions and similar things then (which I still like).`

After 3 years I listened to it again and I got 2112 at the same time. That´s when I realy got into prog.
