What group...

Just out of pure curiosity, what group or artist got you into progressive rock?

For me it is a little more hard to actually say.

When I was about 8 - 10 I was on a huge Genesis, the pop years, kick and I got Trespass on tape and really liked "The Knife" but other than that I thought, at the time, the music sucked.

The first group that truely opened my eyes to the progressive rock genre would have to be King Crimson. The first song:
21 Century Schizoid Man including Mirrors.

I then opened up my old Genesis collection and picked out the old tape I hardly played and listened to it again. Talk about magic. :D

Live, Love, Be... Progressive in all things.

ELP
Kind of grew up with this band, my dad's favourite! Gave me Tarkus when I was 10 or 11, I was most interested in the albumcover at the time, the music was kind'a strange^^ but I listened to it now and then, and now I simply love the album, and the genre!

Well...
My mother always loved Genesis and Yes, and my father was more of the Pink Floyd kind, so I got influences from both sides. I later discovered Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Kansas and Marillion.

Where are you now? Who are you now?
Is anyone really gone?

For me, it would be Opeth: their singer/composer/guitarist is a true progrock fanatic and I started checking out some bands he mentioned in interviews (Opeth have an album Still Life, a rather direct reference to Van der Graaf Generator).

Besides that, I have always been a Pink Floyd fan.

Come to think of it, neither my parents nor friends are into progrock. I had to discover it myself.

I'm a relatively new progrock fan, so the band that eventually got me into it was Porcupine Tree. I was already listening to stuff like Dredg and The Mars Volta, but did not know of their prog influences. Now I know the stuff I was missing! :D

The first album I got which could be described as prog (with a small stretch of the imagination) was ..And Then There Were Three.. by Genesis. But the first real prog albums were Script For a Jester's Tear (Marillion) and Close to the Edge (Yes) which a room-mate used to play at University.

My dad once bought a new hi-fi system and with it he bought Genesis' "A Trick Of The Tail". He turned it on and played "Mad man Moon" to show me how good sound it can produce. And that changed everything...

The rocks, in time, compress
your blood to oil,
your flesh to coal,
enrich the soil,
not everybody's goal.

Floyd!

Well... it seems that the Genesis of Prog Rock is Pink Floyd (as Rick Wakeman ever said...)

Technically, it would be The Moody Blues. My dad likes a lot of prog bands from the early years, like Yes, ELP, Tull, Starcastle, The Moody Blues, etc. The only album that I really latched onto as a kid was "To Our Children's Children." I rediscovered prog through Dream Theater three years ago and have been a freak ever since. I don't listen to the moody blues that often, but I give my Dad's old vinyls a spin once in a while.

I'd listened to Pink Floyd and to some progressive metal bands quite a lot before I started exploring prog, however the band that really sparked my interest was King Crimson. After I'd heard quite a few of their records, I just had to look for more prog.

I listened to Floyd and Rush long before I realised what Prog was.... The band that actually got me questing (and finding) was Yes. I heard roundabout one day in the shower, and owned Fragile and Close to The Edge by the end of the day. Crimson, ELP, Moody BLues, Genesis all followed within the month.

Once I listened to Mew, my dad said "oh, that sounds a bit proggy. whanna hear something similiar?". I said yes, and he got me into the progressive world: Yes, Genesis, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Jethro Tull, Pink Floyd etc. The first of the bands he showed me, that I really liked, was Gentle Giant. I love Gentle Giant. Some of my friends think that I have a weird musical taste, but their favourite artists are Eminem and madonna an things like that, so I don't really care.

I was unfortunate, as my parents or older brother never were big progheads. Only on 2000, when I bought "Scenes From A Memory" because the cover was interesting (this is true), the doors of prog opened for me. Then, through influences and mentions, I started discovering the real prog.

I'm a huge fan of Yes and Kansas now. And all the prog universe that, everyday, unfolds before my eyes.

I guess for me it would be Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull. My mother listened to The Wall and Aqualung a lot. It wasn't until I discovered Yes years later that I really started to get into prog. The Gates of Delirium is still one of my all-time favorite songs.

Hey all!

My biggies growing up were Genesis and Pink Floyd. Nowadays, I like a little bit of everything and have not enough of anything anymore. I'm old and I move a lot. ;)

Pink Floyd. My dad used to show me the film with Bob Geldof when I was about six. Well about 7 years later I heard the CD and was singing along not knowing how I knew the words.
