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"....
Oh yes, I move FAST!

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........

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.
