All of us on here through one way or another got here because We love prog.But it wasn't always like that. We had to start somewhere.I was wondering what our very first record buy was?For me it was Neil Diamond's 'Crackling Rosie' way back in 69' followed by Elton John's 'Your Song'.At the time, I thought Diamond was a raw brilliant talent How the times change!!!!Be honest no matter how lame is seems now.I confess to.................................

First ever album was By Elvis Presley, don't know it's title (All shook up, was one of the songs on it) when I was eight. One of the things I'm sorry to have lost.

Next was probably Elton John, a compilation with early works (on tape).

A Farewell to Kings by Rush was the first album I brought with my first wages at 16yrs old .

I have blocked out of my mind the real first album I purchased though it was a..Gary Glitter album with birthday money at 12yrs old  Urgh!

Abba's Greatest Hits Vol 1

soon followed up by Led Zeppelin II then Thin Lizzy's Black Rose (A Rock Legend) and AC/DC's Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap

Still have no idea how i made the transition from Abba to Zeppelin in one swift jump? Weird how malleable your tastes are as a youngster....

Smells like nirvana. I don't remember if that was the title of the album also.

My brother came up with it years ago. UHL is a great film by weird all.

Best Film beginning ever (parodie on Indiana Jones). Great guy.

I thought of you more a King Crimson kind of lad.
