Your first prog experience?

Personally I'd say no. I've never heard anyone describe the Purps as anything other than hard rock/heavy metal, and ditto for the spinoff bands, Rainbow and Dio, even though the latter could certainly be considered prog in terms of lyrical content for some songs, and the former produced "Rising", which I would consider a candidate for a prog album...

Well, then I guess hearing Pink Floyd is pretty much a common part of youth. That or Zappa(Father used to play a lot but for some reason only a very small collection of the 'silliest' songs). Albeit, I would definitely not consider Deep Purple a heavy metal band.
