Topic: First prog Vinyl CD or Cassette you bought Posted: July 28 2014 at 16:16 |
Tell from which of these bands/solo artist did you buy your first prog album? If the artist is not in the list pick the closer one. If you want you can fill the following items (or some of them of course, or none of them too)
In my case for example
Band: Genesis - Three sides live (the one with the four side in studio)
Format: Cassette
Year: 1984
Age: 15
Music I listened before: Classical Music

Before I started a collection of my own, I played my dad's records a lot, and it's hard to place exactly where my first prog purchase was. But i think it was: Band: Moody Blues - To Our Childrens'..... Format: Vinyl Year: 1979? Age: 10 Stuff I listened to Before : Moody Blues and Beatles mostly, this was a repurchase of something my dad had when I was a toddler and used to listen to then. I wasn't aware it was "prog" really, I didn't really use that term until around college (1987) when I first became seriously interested in prog as a genre and sought out artists in that vein.

As I recall "Fragile" was my first prog vinyl, early 80s. Prior to that I has many PR/crossover acts on cassette, Styx, Rush, Zep, Moodies, Who....
But I'll give the honor to Fragile....that was the first of what I considered my prog rock collection.

Probably some Pink Floyd. Before that, though, I hijacked my dad's copies of Aqualung and Fragile

Had a bunch of Kansas, Jethro Tull, Moody Blues, Supertramp, 10CC and Pink Floyd on 8-track and vinyl so probably one of those.

From the list Pink Floyd DSOTM.
Cant vote though because the first vinyl prog album I bought was Ziggy Stardust by Bowie. I didnt know it was prog then. (Not that I knew what prog was as a 14 year old!)

Same here. Got it in 1973, when I discovered prog. It is the album, and the song "Epitaph" particularly, that changed my life.

So many years and albums and passed since that time I cannot remember. It could have been Yes, or Tull, or Pink Floyd, or quite possibly ELP, who should be on this list as well. If we can include Proto-Prog, then it is definitely Burn by Deep Purple.

I would say that Rick Wright (Pink Floyd) - his solo album Wet Dream, was my first 'true' Prog (or related, if you will) that I bought with my own allowance back in 1987. I did have a couple of Beach Boys' albums from my pre-teen days, and after buying some Floyd tapes in Bali received Atom Heart & Wish You Were Here on LP. Then, my haunt was the local 2nd-hand record shop not far from home, and I bought Wet Dream and the 12" of Roger's Pros & Cons of Hitch-Hiking. Still with me to this day..........

My first cassette is not listed (ELP - Trilogy). My first vinyl was DSOTM so Pink Floyd. Before? - Animals, John Mayall, Arlo Guthrie, blues in general which I still listen to. Age? I have bought Trilogy by coincidence as "gift" for my first Philips tape reader at 11 (My elder brother bought me a guitar before). I have bought my first turntable when I was 14, just in time for DSOTM.
