Your first prog experience?

Like most everybody else, Rush is the primary prog band for me as well.

Yes, Supertramp, Kansas, and so on.

My first prog experience... My eldest sister bought me a Pink Floyd CD when I was really young (It was actually my first CD). It was "Dark Side of the Moon". Honestly, it was too far out for someone my age to appreciate, but the song "Money" was an earworm of mine for years to come (Though not as much as Barrett Strong's song by the same name would become).

Dating myself here but probably The Moody Blues or Procol Harem.

Sitting around doing bong hits in the 80s listening to Iron Maiden - Killers
My friend switched the lp to YES - Fragile... I was really stoned at the time and It out right blow my mind. I was instantly hooked.

My dad watching Pink Floyd The Wall when I was like 8. I was sold on "we don't need no education."

Ironically, here I am, 26 years later, pursuing a PhD.

Floyd- Piper at the Gates of Dawn- at boarding school we had our own tiny studies which we decorated with posters of Granny Takes a Trip etc ( This was 1968/9- we were all intent on buying the new stereo systems coming out for fifty quid- I put Piper on and never returned.

Ever since I was 5, I would play records on my dad’s turntable. I don’t remember which album or song I heard first, but here are some that made an impression on me:

- Alman Brother’s Band - Whipping Post

- Yes - Fragile

- Pink Floyd - Time

- Jethro Tull - Aqualung

- Electric Light Orchestra - Out of the Blue

And later in my teens I was introduced to bands that my dad did not have any records from:

-Rush - Moving Pictures, Signals

- Genesis - Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound

My first prog experience was Rush's 2112. My older brother had the album when I was a little kid and I loved it. It was some of my earliest favorite music.
