   First prog album I've heard in my life: either ELP's "Trilogy" or PF's "Wish You Were Here", back in 1975. Don't know which album I bought first, but I think it was "Yesshows" - nice start, don't you think?

	Mine was probably Kansas Monolith. I remember asking for that, Steve Walsh's Schemer Dreamer, and Styx's Cornerstone for my birthday back when I was around 11 or 12. E

	The first prog band I listened to was Pink Floyd. Those were the A Momentary Lapse of Reason days, and I began with The Wall and Animals: I disliked the first, but the second has immediately been one of my favourite albums ever! Then in high school I made acquaintance with Genesis' discography and I definitely fell for them! In the same period I started with Yes (90125 and Big Generator before venturing with Drama and Close to the Edge)
	A flower?

	My first was Wakeman's King Arthur though very soon after that I got Close to the Edge.

	First "prog" album was "Delicate Sound Of Thunder" by PF... It was 1988, I was 13 and that sounded like another world! The album that got me started was "Images & Words" by you know who... Before that, I only listened to ItCotCK and "Grace Under Pressure" at my friend's house, but I had other things in mind at the time so I didn't pay attention...

	If you count it in... it was "Made in Japan" by Deep Purple... then "Trilogy" by Emerson, Lake and Palmer, both had been bought by my elder brother. The first albums I HAD bought with a prog-relation were Alan Parson's "I robot", BJH's "Gone to Earth", Kate Bush's "Kick inside" and Pink Folyd's "Wish you were here"... and I still like what I used to like back then.
