The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway for me.

Well, my first prog experience was a show from The Musical Box who, at that time, were covering The Lamb. Then, I bought the album and everything else happened.

RIP in bossa nova heaven.

I think Rush's Spirit of the Radio: Greatest Hits was my first non-intentional prog listening. My first intentional listening was Selling England by the Pound. It was a life changing event.

Well, to be honest In the court not only opened me to porg but it let me know that anything in music is achivable
But, once I was in prog... mmm let me see, I would say Of natural history from Sleepytime Gorilla Museum opened my mind a lot, let me know that grotesque, bizarre, weird music was not just fun, but could be a masterpiece on its own

For me, it was Frank Zappa - Uncle Meat


It opened up this incredible universe to me, where I first saw that anything was possible!
