The first album I bought myself was Genesis - Live.
However my sister had given me Genesis - Wind And Wuthering a couple of months previously.
Oh well at least I've got something to thank her for.

Live was your first buy!?! Wow... no misguided youth or anything eh?

Erm.. did I mention M - Pop Muzik !!! It was only a single after all.
Can I blame my sister for that one too.
Honest!!

So there I am, approaching middle age, still loving my music and content with myself for having conquered all and found all the best of prog. Then I find this site, see people with a similar, but much wider taste in music, and doubts set in :- Hmm, maybe I am not all seeing after all, maybe King Crimson, for example, are not just the band that poached Yes’s drummer and maybe they “did some good stuff” too. So I ordered 3 Crimson albums –Red, Larks Tongues.., and ITCOTCK, and I’m very very glad I did. Some great stuff, and the amazing thing is, is that feeling, that thrill of listening to something for the 1<SUP>st</SUP> time and loving it is back. So a big thanks to this site, and all its’ members for giving me the nudge I needed. | Splendid entry, Mr Bullet, sir - do stick around, you'll get many more ideas along the way; I'm in a similar position myself - knocking on the door of middle age (well, halfway through it, actually), thought I 'knew' prog-rock, discovered this site, and all of a sudden, there's this vast vista of music ahead of me I knew nothing about.....

The very first LP I bought was an Amon Düül 2 compilation called Lemmingmania. I didn't know it was a compilation then (it was in the fall of 1975) but it was one of the few AD2 albums available. I had just heard the song "(Excerpt from) Soap Shop Rock" on the radio and captured it on tape. I liked it very much.

The first "album" i bought was a compilation cassette of 60's songs called "Tour Of Duty" in 1990. I was 10 years old then and had not yet developed my musical interests (actually, it's still evolving). There were some reall goods songs on that cassette I stil like to hear :
Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit Cream - White Room Moody Blues - Tuesday Afternoon Fleetwood Mac - Albatros
not bad for a 10 year old.
3 or 4 years later I bought my first compact disc, a remaster of Queen I. A beautifull album, i even used one song "the night comes down" for an audition to a theatre group in school.

Tour of Duty is an excellent compilation. I have it myself. I never would've imagined someone else mentioning it! Excellent!!!

KISS - Alive II
HALL & OATES - (The one with 'Private Eyes' on it)
Had an older brother who owned some semi-prog though, so early exposure was to: The Wall, Abacab and 90125.
Late 70's / early 80's gotta love it!

I was 12 at the time and living in Toronto and delivering newspaper and I invested in Crime of The Century , Wish You Were Here (the day it came out) and SEBTP (it took me about two years to get into that one but started loving when Trick Of The Tail came out).
Those very first investments were probably the best I made and are responsable of what I became......... A maniac....... Come to think of it , I hate those albums
Before that I used to listen to the Beatles and The Stones, this is all my parents told me about fearing I would become some kind of long-haired weirdo...... Which I became

Not my first buy by any means, but given we are all confessing to albums etc we look back on with some embarrassment: Owing to peer pressure when 13 years old, I bought "never mind the b+llocks, heres the sex pistols" - looking back I can see them for exactly what they were - a 3rd rate pub heavy metal band with a good manager; and they knew it, too!
