I believe I purchased my first records in 1983 or 1984 and was for a few years a member of Columbia House (where you bought something like 8 or 10 records for a penny, and then had to buy so many in the first year at regular price). I was about 14 years old and had never heard the term "prog" before. It was all called classic rock back then in my neck of the woods. My memory isn't what it used to be, so these are guesses... Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon Yes - Classic Yes Yes - 90125 Genesis - Genesis (shapes album) The Clash - Combat Rock Thomas Dolby - The Golden Age of Wireless Electric Light Orchestra - Secret Messages Billy Joel - The Nylon Curtain Deep Purple - Machine Head David Bowie - Let's Dance ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

I know, for sure, the first three, as I ordered them from the now defunct "Record Club of America" = King Crimson, "In the Wake of Poseidon" CSNY, "Deja Vu" Led Zeppelin, "III" Subsequent albums would likely have included: Alice Cooper, "School's Out" Yes, "The Yes Album" Captain Beyond, "Captain Beyond" Flash and "In The Can" ------------- I am not a Robot, I'm a FREE MAN!! |

That's a long time ago! I can remember buying two albums by Waldo De Los Rios, the guy who recorded classical music with a beat. Symphonies for the Seventies and Mozart in the Seventies. I also bought two T Rex albums in 1972, a compilation called Bolan Boogie, and The Slider. My fifth purchase I think was Argus by Wishbone Ash (on cassette). I can't remember what order I bought albums in after that.

The first vinyl that I bought is easy to remember: MARILLION - Fugazi. A lot of Marillion followed. These are more or less among the early ones (certainly I don't remember them all; probably most of them I don't have anymore): TALK TALK - The Colour of Spring KATE BUSH - The Whole Story PETER GABRIEL - Plays Live DIRE STRAITS - Alchemy U2 - Under a Blood Red Sky THE CURE - Standing on a Beach YES - Yesshows TWELFTH NIGHT - Live and Let Live Funny how many live albums I bought at the early days (c. 1985-7), because later on I have very rarely bought them. The first 70's album I ordered was GENESIS - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, in the spring of 1987. After that, most of my vinyls were from the 70's.

Owned by daddy (+/- 69 @ age 6) but annexed by yours truly Stand Up Haïr (Musical Tribes) - OST Bought as a gift by mommy (+/- 72): Aqualung (she was horrified at Eyeing little girls with bad intent, snot running down his nose, and My god). Bought with my own money (summer 74 & onwards and more or less in that order @age 11 Harmonium's début (then Fifth Season, as soon as it came out) Crime of The Century Dark Side of The Moon (then Meddle & AHM, then WYWH once it came out) Thick As A Brick Grey & Pink In The Court Selling England In Rock Argus Abbey Road Hot Rocks BTW, I can never thank enough Mississauga's Records On Wheel's manager (he looked like Savoy Brown or Foghat's Roger Earle), who once I completely blew my nmind on Crime OTC, he directed me to the next albums when I asked him if there was more of that stuff. .

Not in any order, except for the first five, the rest were among my first ones I owned in the first year that I started buying music of my own: 1. Steve Miller Band - "Fly Like an Eagle" 2. A various artists collection that I can't remember the title of but it had stuff like The Carpenters "Kind of Hush" and Atlanta Rhythm Section - "So Into You" on it. I bought it from a travelling vendor that came into the service station where I worked. 3. 10cc - "The Original Soundtrack" 4. The Eagles - "On the Border" 5. Bread - "The Best of Bread Vol. 2" 6. Chicago - "Chicago II" 7. Blue Oyster Cult - "Agents of Fortune" 8. America - "History: America's Greatest Hits" 9. King Crimson - "A Young Person's Guide to King Crimson" (The Half-Speed Master which I wish I still had on vinyl. For the longest time, it was the only KC album I owned, but I was very fascinated with) 10. The Doobie Brothers - "What Were Once Vices Are Now Habits" It was in the next year that I became friends with a guy that worked in a music store in the mall and he started introducing me to more progressive music. I didn't know what progressive meant back then, but I know I loved it. I was also introduced to Rush and U.K. through Columbia House and write-ups that they had printed about them in their catalog.

Difficult for me since there was so many but I'll give it a go anyway. I'll include only albums and cassettes(not singles). I didn't buy cds until later. Most of these were cassette tapes and were from around late 82-83 and I believe all were pretty new at the time. * = vinyl J. Geils Band- Freeze Frame * Joan Jett & The Black Hearts - I Love Rock N Roll * Journey- Escape * (almost bought the first Asia album instead) A Flock of Seagulls -same * Foreigner - 4 Def Leppard - Pyromania Rush - Signals Pink Floyd - The Final Cut* Duran Duran - Rio Styx- Kilroy Was Here A few more: Men At Work - Business As Usual Journey- Frontiers ZZ Top - Eliminator * Yes- 90125 (on cassette tape) Genesis - shapes (was a christmas present) Van Halen - Diver Down David Bowie - Let's Dance Quiet Riot - Metal Health (a christmas present from a friend at the time)* There were probably others but these are the ones I remember. * vinyl

Blimey, really tough question. For a certainty, the first albums I purchased were: 1. Yes. Going for the One 2. Rainbow. Rising 3. Deep Purple. Machine Head 4. Motörhead. Bomber 5. Led Zeppelin IV After that, a wee bit hazy. The first Genesis album I purchased was ATTWT, I remember that much, swiftly followed by Nursery Cryme following a chat in the music room at school (I was in the school brass band, and it was full of Prog and metal fans). The first Floyd album would have been DSOTM. Probably about the same time as The Wall. And then a plethora of classic albums. Crimson, Yes, you know the score. Still love them all now as much as I did then. ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

Indeed, memory is not flawless... I'm only sure about my first album. So I will list some of the other albums that I got rather quickly after, but it is possibly not really part of the first ten, but 20 or so... Prog, without really knowing what it was from the start, was actually my first musical love affair, so my first albums were all prog, actually. 1. Yes - 90125 (instead, I almost bought a Judas Priest album - a narrow escape ;) - Yes - Tormato (a bit surprised by it, but intrigued...) - Yes - Fragile (and then I started to understand a bit what "symphonic rock" was...) - Focus - Focus (compilation) - Marillion - Script for a Jester's Tear - Eloy - Colours - Ange - Au delà du délire - Saga - Worlds Apart - Manfred Mann's Earthband - Watch - Pallas - The Sentinel And more or less in those same early vinyl acquiring days I got written off discs from the local library (just the discs, not the sleeves...): Styx - Pieces of Eight and Kansas - Monolith.

When I got into the Beatles at 8, I got or bought several that had not been in the family before, namely, if I remember correctly: 1967-1970 A Hard Day's Night Let It Be Help Revolver Then before discovering prog through Manfred Mann's Earthband I also got Boney M. - Nighflight to Venus Saturday Night Fever (soundtrack) Abba - The Album And then came MMEB: Nightingales and Bombers The Roaring Silence ...and some more but we're already at 10. The album opening up the next band was Pink Floyd - Animals... and from that point I started to buy many things in short time.

Basically the RHCP discography. Aside from the music I listened to because of my dad (U2, Marillion, Pink Floyd, Simple Minds, etc) I got into the Red Hot when I was 10 or so and it was the only band I listened to until I was 14 or so. I got By the Way first when it came out, then Californication, then a Greatest Hits, then One Hot Minute, then BSSM, then the debut and then Stadium Arcadium was coming out as I was expanding my musical tastes, so it would be. - By the Way - RHCP - Californication - RHCP - One Hot Minute - RHCP - Blood Sugar Sex Magik - RHCP - s/t - RHCP - Stadium Arcadium - RHCP - The White Album - The Beatles - Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd - Trilogy - Emerson Lake & Palmer - Fragile - Yes Then I got a bunch of Floyd albums my dad didn't have (Meddle, Atom Heart Mother, More, Saucerful,etc), all of Queen's early albums, several Genesis albums from the '70s and several Beatles albums from their later period. ------------- I shook my head and smiled a whisper knowing all about the place |

Symphonic Slam - Symphonic Slam 4. Nursery Cryme - Genesis 6. Foxtrot - Genesis (both Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot appearing together on the 1976 Buddah Records release Genesis - The Best...) 7. Red - King Crimson 8. Relayer - Yes 9. Feels Good To Me - Bruford 10.

Wow, This is a tough one. I know this much, they weren't prog albums. I didn't get in to prog until my late teens - early 20's ( And beyond) Probably a lot of mainstream 70's stuff like Chicago, Doobie Brothers, ELO ( OK, kind of proggy) , Billy Joel, Fleeetwood Mac, Heart.... Stuff like that.

memory not what it used to be! ELP - Pictures At An Exhibition (£2 cassette in 1976 !!) then my next bunch of ELP albums were mainly Birthday /Christmas presents as well as Yes - Tormato (all cassette). I think I was still into buying singles rather than albums for a couple of years . Also a tendency to get school mates who could afford albums to do cassette copies! Tubeway Army - Replicas (vinyl, I still have it!! I vaguely remember queuing for this!) Keith Emerson - Inferno/Nighthawks (both on vinyl when I was at college) at some point I got some vinyl via Record Collector magazine (all still owned) . Included Vangelis - Beauborg Aphrodite's Child - 666 Kayak - II Also acquired on Vinyl Tomita - Mind Of The Universe Yes - Going For The One Kayak - Periscope Life I think the first CD I acquired was either Vangelis - China or ELP - Best Of around about 1985. All so vague now!!
