De-loused in the Comatorium was my first, and a life-changing experience it was... I'd never heard anything like it and thought TMV were the most inspired and unique band of all time! LOL

although, I didn't truly open my eyes for prog until about 5 years later, because Thick as a Brick surely managed to make me feel like a virgin again LOL

I think I was listening to Dream Theater way before I got into prog, I just thought of it as a bit more complex metal, and can't really see that it lead me anywhere more proggish. It was just a metal band I liked. Then a bit later came Absoluuttinen Nollapiste (a Finnish band in the prog-related category) and Sigur Rós that opened my mind a lot, and the latter got me interested in King Crimson's Starless and Bible Black, since I thought that the song Trio had a lot of Sigur feel to it. I borrowed that album from my cousin, but it didn't really blow my mind, which was exactly what the song Starless did when my friend sent it in mp3. So after a few steps it was King Crimson's Red which did the job for me.
