All of us on here through one way or another got here because We love prog.But it wasn't always like that. We had to start somewhere.I was wondering what our very first record buy was?For me it was Neil Diamond's 'Crackling Rosie' way back in 69' followed by Elton John's 'Your Song'.At the time, I thought Diamond was a raw brilliant talent How the times change!!!!Be honest no matter how lame is seems now.I confess to.................................

First ever album was By Elvis Presley, don't know it's title (All shook up, was one of the songs on it) when I was eight. One of the things I'm sorry to have lost. Next was probably Elton John, a compilation with early works (on tape). ------------- I'm always almost unlucky _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Id5ZcnjXSZaSMFMC Id5LM2q2jfqz3YxT |

Good to see you bareing your soul with Neil Diamond, Fragile. In view of the crooner he became, it easy to forget that in the early 70's he did have a fair degree of credibility. His "Gold" and "Taproot manuscript" albums were early purchases of mine, and I still enjoy them today. First single for me was "Blackberry way" by the Move (ELO predecessor). It had a great B side called "Something" (not the Beatles song), which indicated the ELO direction they were to take. First LP was "Willy and the poor boys" by Creedence Clearwater Revival, which I still find a good listen today. |

The first album I purchased with my own money was Meet the Beatles. The first prog album I bought with my own money was "In the Court of the Crimson King." Sister Mary Francis!!

Umm - first single was probably Gary Glitter - I'm The Leader Of The Gang First album was Journey to the Centre of the Earth - saved my pocket money for weeks to get that. Despite everything, I still have a soft spot for Gary Glitter's early hits. Can't say the same for Journey to the Centre of the Earth though. Listened to it a couple of years ago and cringed. The next 4 were Tubular Bells, Ommadawn, Dark Side of the Moon and Selling England by the Pound, and I still love all of them. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'

The first album I can remember buying was "Sheer Heart Attack" by Queen. I was 10 years old and I had never heard anything like this,it just blew my tiny mind. After playing the very first track,"Brighton Rock" I knew I wanted to be a guitarist. And not long after that, I got my first guitar and discovered to my complete shock that learning how to play like Brian May was actually very difficult so my guitar career lasted approximately 6 months. Until I picked it up again when I was 17 when I joined a punk band but that's a very embarassing part of my youth I would much rather forget. ------------- Odi profanum vulgus et arceo. |

Gold was his live LP from the late 60's with great tracks like; Kentucky Woman, Solitary Man, Holly holy, Cherry Cherry and a fabulous version of He Aint Heavy He's My Brother. Taproot Manuscript was a very original piece of music. Pity he chose an almost cabaret path to follow thereafter.Thanks for reminding me of these Easy Livin' , I still have Gold and Tap on vinyl , must give them a re-listen.

Fragile, The only brothers I can suggest would be the Davies bros, of the Kinks. I would assume Ray played on Dave's solo hit "Death of a clown" somewhere, and the Kinks had several number ones with both brothers on them ("Waterloo sunset", "Lola", etc.). Other possiblities, Paul and Barry Ryan, Mark & David Knopfler, Peter and Robin Starstedt SV, you're dad just says he knows, get him to write it down and see if it matches with Fragile's answer. |

You know I honestly can't remember my very first record purchase (I'm still a relatively young man of 18 years! )
I remember having a cassette of "A Hard Day's Night" when about 8 or 9. My first ever Prog album was probably Jeff Wayne's "War of the Worlds", which I received for Christmas one time when I was about 13. I can remember though, when music became a really big thing for me, and that started with The Moody Blues' "Days of Future Passed". Ahh I bought all of the Core 7 albums. I am now totally unstoppable when it comes to buying records!! ARRGH! ------------- And Jesus said unto John, "come forth and receive eternal life..."
