I know it ain't original, but Pink Floyd were the first for me two. There was a 2 for 30$ sale on Floyd's albums, so I bought Dark side and Wish you were Here that time. I don't have to tell you that this investissment was one of the greatest in all my life

It was Dark side of the moon, before that i lisened to KoRn, Limp bizkit, Rage against the machine and ather great stuff  . The smallest thing i can say is that DSOTM opened up a new musical world to me, it is hands down the most important album ever for me, and still too this day one of my all time favorites, perhaps becaus it was the first realy great album i ever heard i dont know.

Not sure if I'd call it prog, but its listed on this site - Rick
Wakeman's "King Arthur". But for me the first real prog album I heard
was Close to the Edge!

It was The Nice - The Nice.
Still an album better than any of the ELP albums too.
It was half live (New York - Filmore-something-or-other I think) and half studio.
Then I went onto Genesis/Van Der Graaf/Egg
Couldn't tell you which came next.
The cheapie 99p Decca sampler, Wowie Zowie came 2nd, I recall now.

Hi everybody! I'm new fellow to this forum from Finland!  (I'll find and write something to 'Introduce yourself'-topic in couple of days time...)
First whole album of prog that I bought and then heard was 'Fragile' by Yes and that happened about 20 years ago... not bad a starting point!?

Pink Floyd's The Wall, though I know I heard lots of bits from Darkside
of the Moon and Aqualung far before I heard The Wall in it's entirety.

Probably something progressive from the Beatles (Abbey Road? White Album?).
Of course someone will argue that Beatles are not progressive, but
their last albums are for sure more progressive than lots of bands here.
The first album that I knew it was progressive rock: one live Hawkwind´s album (they have dozens of them).

The first one I listened was "Gutter Ballet" by "Savatage"  but the one who made fall in love with progressive was "Carved in Stone" by "Shadow Gallery", a real legend for prog metal lovers...

It wasn't an Album, or a song...It was a show !
My father was working at the Montreal Olympic Stadium and he brought me and my brother to see Pink Floyd, Animals tour in 1977. I was 10...Man...A giant Pink Pig.. Surround sound effects at the beginning of the show... Freaks smoking pot all around...People throwing toilet paper rolls and cheering at beach balls...Planes flying over the stadium...Waters screaming at a guy who lit a firecracker during pigs on the wing (an episode that deeply influenced Waters for The Wall -rock star relationship with his fans- and brought us the song Another brick in the Wall)
All these people vibrating to the same trip...
My destiny was written right then...

I forgot but it was either wish you were here by pink floyd, lateralus
by tool or if one considers it to be prog - absolution by muse (i know
most people don't consider it prog but it was the band i started with,
and the one that led me on to discover progressive music)
