Hey all, Long time lurker, brand new poster here just wondering what everyone's first prog album purchase was, you know, way back when. For me, I guess it would have been Yes 90125 (even though it's not very proggy, i realize, especially for Yes, as I would subsequently find out) back in '83 at the tender age of 12. I didn't know it was prog at the time, just good rock. Of course, like most other pop-oriented kids of the time, I was sold by Owner of a Lonely Heart, but I quickly found that my favorite parts were things they wouldn't play on the radio, the proggier elements. My first progmetal album was Fates' Awaken the Guardian in 1986. I didn't know what progmetal was (i don't think the term had been invented yet), but I was into Iron Maiden and the little sticker on the cassette (yes, the cassette, remember them?) compared them to Iron Maiden so I bought it sound unheard. It remains one of my favorite albums of all time. Coincidentally, I bought Dream Theater's WDADU based on a similar recommendation when someone said they sounded like Rush. Well, I disagreed. But still loved it and life hasn't been the same since.
KEEP ON PROGGIN'!

My first was "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull, but that was only 18 months ago. Look where I am now, owning CDs by not only Tull but also Yes, ELP, Genesis, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Traffic, Pink Floyd, The moody Blues, Styx. The Alan Parsons Project, Rush...etc. I owe it all to Aqualung ------------- Jethro Tull kicks ass! But don't forget the Moody Blues :) |

But the first album i bought when i knew what prog was of Course.. Dream Theater " images and words" then from there i was hooked. |

If we are saying Radiohead is prog - it'd be Kid A back in like 2000 If you say - no way! they aren't prog, it'd have to be Close to the Edge - Which was a great decision on my part, at the beginning of last summer. (It was close - there was a deal on at the store, by 3 certain CDs for $20, so i got Morrison hotel, something else and Yes (It was close, between yes and neil young  which im relieved about not getting))------------- I asked Bobby Dylan I asked the Beatles I asked Timothy Leary But he couldn't help me either They call me the seeker THE WHO! |

Rush - Permanent Waves... I heard "The Spirit Of Radio" on the radio and was hooked. I realized that my parents had the vinyl record in the basement, so i put it on and was blown away. It was so good... i went out and started buying all the Rush albums! Prog has completely taken over now with my loves for Yes, Genesis, Dream Theater, Tull, Floyd, etc.... ------------- Strangers passing in the street by chance two separate glances meet and I am you and what I see is me.

I think my first prog CD was an either Pink Floyd's P-U-L-S-E that I
bought in the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris last year (for those
of you who are interested, it was the day after a section of the roof
collapsed unexpectedly) or Ummagumma (I got them around the same time). My first prog vinyl was Leftoverture by Kansas which my friend gave me last year because he got a bunch of vinyls for free when he bought a tape player and didn't like them at all. Unfortunately, it had a huge crack in it, so I never listened to it. The first prog albums I bought (I got them all at the same time) were Song for America by Kansas, Red by King Crimson, Breakfast in America by Supertramp, Meddle by Pink Floyd, The Pros and Cons of Hitchhikking by Roger Waters, and Dave Gilmour's self titled album. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/kingofbizzare/?chartstyle=asimpleblue5">

Mmmm... maybe Mike Oldfield's Amarok. I had listened to 'Islands' before, but just for the song 'Magic Touch'. I had seen the video on TV when it came out, and to this day it's still one of my favourites. One or two years later I bought 'Earth Moving'. When 'Amarok' came out, I bought it... and got a bit astonished. I even remember what I was doing when I listened to it the first time (washing the dishes!). It took me 3 or 4 years more to know about prog as a genre (remember, almost no internet then). The first record I bought knowing what I was getting into was 'Thick as a Brick'... ...And, from this day, I'm lost for social life. I became... A GEEK. Well, at least geeker than I was. |

I listened heavymetal as an angry teenager, and DEATH's "Human" might be my first prog-album, if you accept DEATH as a prog (I'm not sure if it is). Next step in my music evolution occured as I read from a newspaper an interview of girls going to Guns'n'Roses concert. They were asked, if they liked URIAH HEEP. They thought it was something terrible old music, andmotivated by this I went straight to record shop and bought URIAH HEEP's "Magician's Birthay". I'm gettin' closer to the consensus of prog classification, but the last step was taken as I bought YES's "Yesterdays", as it had same kind of neat covers as Uriah Heep did. Thanks Roger! |

| Bought Yessongs back when it was released- That was an eye opener. Again as a few have stated, Roger Dean was the motivation for that purchase as well. Anyway I haven't looked back and have been a progger long before the term was invented. It is good to see such a wealth of prog music being produced nowadays after the dry times of the eighties and early nineties. |

Hey ... this is my first reply, too. Technically ... Kansas - "Leftoverture". Columbia House sent it to me because I forgot to send back the reply card so I kept it. But other than "Carry On Wayward Son" it didn't grab me. Didn't listen to it again for a couple of years. My true descent into Prog (through the back door, mind you) went like this over four consecutive album purchases: ELO - "Out of the Blue" ... bought it because of "Turn to Stone" but the 'Concerto for a Rainy Day' suite intrigued me ... Surprised ELO's not in the prog archives. They're not serious prog, but certainly they're as prog as Styx ... maybe proggier. Moody Blues - "Long Distance Voyager" ... Fell in love with "The Voice" the first time I heard it on radio. My prog head friend was very excited because "it had that keyboard player from Yes", but after listening told me ... "that's not the REAL Moody Blues!" Genesis - "Abacab" ... I was sold the title track, but Dodo/Lurker quickly became my favorite. Yes - "Drama" ... my best friend kept pushing Yes on me (see the Moodies, above). By now I was a proghead myself, just as seventies prog was dying out! lol. By then, I was hooked. ELP's greatest hits came in there somwhere after that, followed by "Giant for a Day" and "Aqualung" and most of the Yes catalog. |

Interesting question. The first one i heard in full was King Crimson's Discipline. Also with that include Zappa'a One Size Fits All. The First one i owned, would probably be DSOTM (bought it as a classic rock album though  ). The First album i bought for being progressive would be the same Discipline. I just loved it.

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. -------------

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. 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. |

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........ ------------- "...I like the way the music goes...there's a few good guys who can play it right..." |

Rush...Grace Under Pressure & Signals, when I was 15... I just thought they were superb! ------------- Music has always been a matter of energy to me.

The first three groups I listened to are (in strict chronological order):
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 ------------- A flower?

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. |
