Topic: In the Wake of the Poseidon - my first prog album Posted: September 12 2012 at 15:48
The first real prog album was Atom Heart Mother (I'm not sure if I should consider Piper and ASoS really prog, they're more of psychedelic), but I didn't know it was prog. The really first prog album for me would be 2112.

[QUOTE=thellama73]I think by first he means "favorite." In any case, it is by far my least favorite KC album I own (well, Thrak... no, still Poseidon.)
[/QUOTE)
no, by 1st mean the 1st i obtained, as a album of progressive music,
my favourite is the Lamb, but my first prog album is I the Wake of the Poseidon, the 1st i spent my money on, and the first i listend to on my own in my room at the age of 18
Nope, a recent purchase in fact. My first was Aqualung followed by a string of Dream theater albums to feed my then, new Prog addiction. Protest the Hero came after that, and I found I was listening to a lot of Prog Metal that year - 2009. I've only been into the 70's stuff for about 2 years.
Good thing Wake wasn't my first prog album, I don't know if I would have ever gotten into the genre. Then again, maybe I would love it now.
The first prog album I heard must have been something by Frank Zappa when I was four or five. I distinctly remember hearing Hot Rats at that age. The first album I listened to with the awareness that it's prog was either Foxtrot or SEBTP. And the first one I bought was Fragile.

I've slept since then......I have no clue what my first prog album was. In the Wake probably took me 25yrs to like it as much as I do, which is not saying much, but I still spin it probably 2x per month.

Not my first, but one of the first I bought and heard after jumping on the prog wagon.
My first was something by JT (can't remember which one 'cause I bought all their early ones pretty much at the same time), if Led Zeppelin's IV doesn't count that is.

The first prog album I bought for my own collection (I listened to my dad's records too, and he had some prog), I think it was Pink Floyd's Meddle album. Not counting Floyd, it might be King Crimson's first album, which I remember my dad recommending to me while we were record shopping. "Hey, you'll probably like this if you like Pink Floyd".

No. In fact, I had little interest for KC in my first prog years. ItCotCK has been in my collection since I was 19 or 20 and Islands since last year, and that's it. Nevertheless, In the Wake of Poseidon was a good start.
My first prog albums were Relics and DSotM (Pink Floyd) and CttE (Yes).
