Topic: Your First Prog Album? Posted: March 23 2016 at 19:23 |
I know someone's probably posted this topic at some point or another, but I just wanted to put it up out of curiosity. Can you guys recall your very first progressive rock album? Prog-related applies too. This may sound incredibly random, but Journey's first album was actually my first in the genre. I was a huge Journey fanatic when I was younger (they were my first band in general), and I remember getting their debut at a mall in my area when I was around 10 or 11 years old. There was a Virgin Mega Store (when those were still around, lol) at the mall, and I used to get a bunch of great classic rock and progressive rock/metal records from there when I was a kid and teenager. Lots of nostalgia

Jeff Wayne's Musical Version of The War of The Worlds in the mid 80's.
The first full on Prog album I bought was The Dark Side Of The Moon. Although Electric Ladyland I heard before the Pink Floyd one.

Days of Future Passed, for prog-related. Fragile for pure prog. Respective ages acquired: 13 and 15.

For me was The Divison Bell from Pink Floyd, after in the same day i listened to DSOTM, in the first listen sounded very strange, but after some time it was getting better ;)

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

The first one I heard was Tarkus at the tender age of eight; a buddy's dad owned it and we like the sci-fi cover. The first one I bought, just a few years later, was Hemispheres because, again, I dug the cover.

Heard: DSOTM (I listened to my uncle's vinyl copy when I was 10; I was all like WTF during "On The Run")
Bought: Genesis 'Live-The Way We Walk-The Shorts' I don't think that counts. Let's see, these work better: Classic Yes or The Best Of ELP(don't remember which I got first, could have got them at the same time). Those are compilations of course but I think I got a CD copy of DSOTM as my first 'prog' album. |

I'm not quite sure. It was either Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, Yes's Fragile or Yessongs. Whichever it was, - I had all 3 of those albums, but can't say which one came first - it was the late 70s, and I was a pre-teen. I loved Yes, but they left me a bit cold. But Floyd. They seemed to have been made just for me. Everything I heard by them on the radio (Have a Cigar, On the Run, One of These Days, Breathe, Comfortably Numb, Shine On, Hey You) spoke directly to my soul.

Damn, you guys had a better first experience than I did, haha. Either way, I'd say some of my other early prog records were Hemispheres, Tarkus, Queen II, and Deadwing.

I think The Endless River. I just wanted to try some Pink Floyd - I guess about one year ago - and wanted to work my way backwards.

My original vinyl collection was purchased in the 60s and 70s so I have no idea what my first "official" prog album was.

I guess, for me it would've been Floyd's DSOTM cassette - back in the very early 80's - I must've been around 8-10 years old. I didn't know it was 'Prog' but always loved it. My first real Prog vinyl would've been Wish You Were Here, my 14th birthday, 1986.

Pink Floyd's WYWH for me.
And then DSOTM, Meddle, Animals... And then Tangerine Dream's Ricochet (Not mentionning proto-prog like The Beatles nor prog-related like Radiohead)
