Life Changing Albums

[@lance98541]

Thanks!

[@TheProgCorner]

Wow!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@oy6793]

At the age of 13 I've happened to discover 2 albums that changed my life: Aqualung by Jethro Tull & Master Of Reality by Black Sabbath

[@cuzididat]

My parents played Yes Fragile in the ‘72 beige square back. I was 4. It’s the first time in my life I asked my Dad, “what band is this”? It was while the tune ‘We Have Heaven’ was playing . He turned and said, “ the name of the band is called YES”. I’ve been obsessed ever since. I true musical snapshot in my memories.

[@TheProgCorner]

Wow!!!!!

[@Prog-t9d]

One of the records that blew me away the first time I heard it and to this day I find amazing is King Crimson “ In the Court of the Crimson King “ after that I fell under the spell of the world of Prog.

[@TheProgCorner]

Nice. Understandable!!!!

[@katesjanice]

3 bands that blew me away as a 13 yr old: A Passion Play (Tull),Year of the Cat (Al Stewart), and my favorite Song for America ( Kansas)!!!😊

Great fun Scot. We all have our massive influences when in our younger years. And these memories stick in the grey matter. Awesome show , so interesting. The Prog Stream goes from strength to strength. Cheers good buddy. 😍🎵🎵🤘

[@TheProgCorner]

What a cool list!!!

[@ilabelle1]

Another great topic. I'll say it again...The Point by Harry Nilsson absolutely changed everything for me. I don't mean my taste in music but rather the way I view life. I had a horrible childhood and felt very alone and when I saw that cartoon when I was 9 or so I felt like it was made especially for me. Having been an outsider, that cartoon and those tunes made me think BIG TIME. As you know Scot, I teach special needs kids and I can pinpoint my sense of empathy directly to that cartoon. I was Oblio and I empathize with all the other Oblios out there. I still harbour deep feelings for that story. If you're unfamiliar check it out and you'll see what I mean.

[@TheProgCorner]

Interesting!!!!🤔

[@Prog-Radio]

Very cool! I loved The Point growing up and we play several songs from it on Prog Radio. A classic.

[@ilabelle1]

@ Yeah man, I caught that you mentioned it. It’s nice to know that someone else knows about it. When I mention it I usually get blank stares. I suspect we would get along. I’ve noticed you’ve acknowledged me a few times. Thank for that. Harry Nilsson was unknown to me when I was younger but now I’m a big Harry fan. Unsung artist.

[@Prog-Radio]

@@ilabelle1 Nilsson Schmilsson should have been on my "graphic." Was a biggie for me growing up. In addition to the SIX song we play from The Point, we also play Jump into the Fire on Prog Radio. What a talent.

[@ilabelle1]

@ Nilsson so underrated. I love most of his albums. I used to cover Jump Into the Fire in a band I was in during the 90s. What a tune! LCD Soundsystem covered it on their live album. So good.

[@jeffbrown5675]

Early memories of mom playing the Moody Blues DOFP and The Doors self titled first album. I also remember SuzyQ by CCR.

[@TheProgCorner]

Nice!!!

[@billdubilier]

I grew up on prog and got to see ELP, Zappa, Yes, Zeppelin, RTF, Mahavishnu, UK, DiMeola, Utopia, Weather Report, Miles, Pink Floyd. I still listen to most of these bands.

[@zsoltsztrunga3718]

I recommend King Crimson 👍

[@billdubilier]

I saw the 80’s Crimson band a few times. Also got to see Gong Hawkwind Ozrics Soft Machine Kevin Ayers Caravan in the 80-90’s

[@zsoltsztrunga3718]

@@billdubilier King Crimson has 13 excellent albums 👍

[@WooBino.]

The Yes Album

[@th5841]

My first album was Songs In The Key Of Life. Stevie Wonder had a big impact on my music taste. Prog came a bit later with Rush, Camel and Supertramp.

[@TheProgCorner]

[@ricardoluna7114]

My changing life albums: Close to the Edge, Brain Salad Surgery and Brumas from Aquelarre argentine Band

[@TheProgCorner]

Aquelarre eh…

[@mikereiss4216]

For me (single digits and teens) I would say the Beatles (white album and sgt. peppers and the blue and red albums), Led Zeppelin- physical graffitti and 4 and also Yes- relayer, fragile, tfto, KC- larks tongues and genesis selling england. Maybe also some rush like hemispheres. Probably others too.

[@davidclark2208]

Hello everyone for me I t was Marillon Misplaced Childhood ,I am not sure if back then it was calm as prog , but that was the start of me really getting into prog 😊

[@TheProgCorner]

Thanks for sharing!

[@michaelbaucom4019]

Two albums I bought for $2 from a friend who became a Kiss fan and thought The Beatles and Paul McCartney weren't cool enough 🙄(late 1975 folks): The Beatles: Let It Be Paul McCartney/Wings: Venus And Mars Two albums I bought for the album covers that made me a prog rock fan permanently: Kansas: Song For America Supertramp: Crime Of The Century Two more albums I heard constantly growing up(my Dad being a jazz fan)which led me to jazz-rock more than jazz, but I still enjoy these albums: Dave Brubeck: Take Five Miles Davis: Kind Of Blue

[@TheProgCorner]

Man's Maximum Darkness was one of my 'take to school to play in the clubhouse during the lunchtime break' albums. Ah, memories. I like to think the boys in the lower forms were much impressed but a) they probably weren't and b) it was the girls I wanted to impress anyway!

👍👍❤️❤️🐍🐍

[@deadfdr]

What did I miss, Scot? You are dismantling live Sundays? Also, you need to hold people to your directive: 3 albums that define your youth. Not Cody taking away other people’s time and not Kevin listing 40. Infuriating as a viewer. Love you.

[@TheProgCorner]

We go live at 11am EST. Every Sunday!!!!

[@Prog-Radio]

I checked...I took a total of 7 minutes. Show ran 69 minutes. 69 / 6 panel members = 11.5 minutes each. Next time I'll drone on about 3 albums for 11.5 minutes. =)

[@deadfdr]

@ you didn’t follow directions. What’s the point of tuning in to hear people ignore Scot’s set up?

[@Prog-Radio]

@@deadfdr You should tune in more often, and you'd know Scot likes to famously say "There are no rules here!" But as you wish...next time I'll drone on about three albums for 11.5 minutes, and I'll dedicate it just to you. =)

[@TheProgCorner]

That’s right!!!! Pure anarchy!!!!!!
