My first prog experience is not as interesting. I used to listen to a lot of Pink Floyd when I was a kid in elementary school, like ages 7-8-9-10ish. The Wall was actually my favourite record back then, but I later discovered Dark Side of the Moon and then Animals.
The first prog epic I can remember checking out with the intention of exploring something called "prog rock" was actually ELP's Tarkus. I didn't fall in love with it immediately, but something about it piqued my interest and after coming back to it a couple of times more, it really started to grow on me. I still think Tarkus (the song) is brilliant! |
Yes was my first introduction to prog but ELP was my next experience and Tarkus is just an amazing epic track. Sure it's overkill, flamboyant and pompous but that's what ELP is all about. Thier s/t debut is brilliant as well IMO.
