Pink Floyd, and they continue to be my favorite band of all time. I don't even remember how I started to like them...

Dream Theater! When I turned 12 one of my friends gave me images and words for my b-day. I really liked it. After a while I was ready for more prog groups. I started to look for more things that were unique and always came up with somekind of prog band :p

Dream Theater was my first progressive band. I am not much into them anymore, but they still have a place in my heart.

My favorite band is Porcupine Tree though :)

I don´t remember exactly... maybe Yes or Rush. Too much time has passed! In those years I'd said that Yes is symphonic, not progressive (fucking tags!!!!)

Surprisingly, it was a melodic metal band that got me into prog! Kamelot were a favourite of mine when I was 14, and someone said that they had a bit prog in them. I asked a bit more, and discovered Dream Theater.

I am now happily listening to both, and to the amazing album by Pink Floyd that is......A Momentary Lapse Of Reason! I love it! ANyone think of other prog bands, don't wait to PM me or recommend them to me (though PM is better).

Probably Rush when I was like 14. I bought a bass almost strictly because I wanted to learn to play the entire Moving Pictures album.

My friend got me into it... But the first artist was Genesis (one of my dad's favorites) and then Yes, and since then everything else :P.

Yes, Yes is one of the greatest bands alltime!

Probably Kansas. But I could also say Dream Theater. I can't remember which came first.

I still like Kansas a bit better, though.

I was a teenager during the late sixties and early seventies, and at that time was really developing my musical tastes. It is no surprise that I developed an immediate love of prog since I loved Led Zeps proggish folky stuff from III and IV/Runes, along with many psychedelic artists from that time. King Crimson's In The Court Of The Crimson King was probably the first, but I think the first one that really just blew me away was Pawn Hearts by Van Der Graaf Generator.

Tool & Pink Floyd

Cuz I'm praying for rain
And I'm praying for tidal waves
I wanna see the ground give way.
I wanna watch it all go down.
Mom please flush it all away.

Gentle Giant's ACQURING THE TASTE made me a diehard proghead.

You may know what I don't know
But not that I don't know it
So you will have to tell me all

Kansas for me. I was about 12, I think and I bought Point Of Know Return,I was very surprised when I listened to the whole album for the first time. Then I bought Song for America, which is more progressive and they became my favorite band. I guess I liked the combination of the violin and the electric guitar, how Steve Walsh played the keyboards and that the songs were kind of fast.

Like many people here I listened to Floyd and Tull for years without realising i was a prog head. Then someone played me Gong and I thought hey what is this...from there it's kinda expanded into 70s prog late 60s psychadelia...haven't really got into new prog yet but there's plenty of time for that once I have caught up with the 'back catalogue'!

Like Opononi above, I listened to Tull, Floyd, ELP, King Crimson, Starcastle...never knew they were prog. Then in 1985 I was at the National Record Mart (R-E-C-O-R-D... look it up, youngsters) and they were playing Assassing from Marillion, so bought every album and extended single they had on the spot and finally learned the name of my musical affliction. Thanks, Fish!

Just as chrissyb said: "dad was a big floyd head...thanks pa!" Due to that, I listen Floyd since before I was born LOL But specially from my 12 years and forward...

After that, three years ago I got introduced to Dream Theater by a friend of mine (actually, she's my best friend nowadays); and the same year discovered Camel on my own.
