Went camping with the school in the summer of 1974 and I shared a tent with a prog fanatic with a tape recorder and just the one tape: Pink Floyd's Atom Heart Mother....I was hooked from then on and here I am still proggin' hard!

I already started a thread like this. I'm going to have to kick your butt.
![]() My first two came as part of the initial membership deal with Columbia. Two Wakemans: Journey and King Arthur. It took a couple of years or so before I became a full fledged addict. |

Probably Dark Side of the Moon when I was a kid. The one that got me going on prog, however, was the 35th anniversary compilation triple album of Yes material. First Yes song I heard was Roundabout, and it blew me away immediately. Became a huge fan of the band and prompted me to start looking into more prog. |

My parents have Dark Side of the Moon, so definitely that...when, I don't know...probably somewhere between 7-10 years old, though they've had it as long as I've known them.

I like to think I was in at "the beginning" - I have the LP from Touch in 1968.
[I did not, however, begin to 'keep up' with all thing destined to be progressive! ![]() |

Rush - A Farewell To Kings
I was a heavy metal nugget back in the late 1970s'/early 80s. A mate of mine had played me Going For The One which in my infinite teenage wisdom, I had dubbed 'f*cking Country and Western music' (yes I know, I'm still slapping myself about the head about it now). My mate was not undaunted however and during one afternoon record listening session, he spun AFTK and everything changed in an instant. I'll admit that at first, I found Geddy's vsinging hilarious but I couldn't fault the playing. Happily, his voice grew on me and I played this album to death over the next six months. It remains a watershed moment for my music listening and opened a door to the world of progresssive music.
![]() Such a great musical revelation would not occur in my life again until I discovered the phenomenal talent that is Justin Bieber. ![]() Edited by sigod - December 22 2010 at 10:38 |
