Your first prog experience?

Quite an interesting story. My "prog journey" started with a big exposure to Dream Theater. I was on another forum at the time, and I had seen that name being dropped quite a few times. I hadn't heard of the name before so it was unfamiliar territory. A few weeks later, a friend of mine starts to mention him, and I sort of knew what he was talking about because I had heard the name before. Without any question or anything, he lent me a DVD and the "Systematic Chaos" CD to listen to. Needless to say, as soon as I heard the end of "In The Presence of Enemies Part 1", I just couldn't help but listen to the rest. And I am happy I did, that album is full of amazing prog energy, it just led me to dive into more Dream Theater and expand my prog library. And now today, it's one of the main genres I listen to.
