Should I get a fretless bass as my first bass?
I'm a pretty hard practicer and I already play some guitar

No, just start out with fretted. In the end it's your decision though.

Play both at a store or at a friend, it's quite hard to make a decision if you haven't played either of them.
I personally would love to have a fretless bass, and that is why my next bass will be a fretless 7-string bass :c00lbutt:
Okay so I've decided to get into prog rock
Gonna listen to Court of the Crimson King.
Can somebody recommend a Rush album to start with?

Depends what you want. Do you want to start with the "easier" stuff or jump straight into the hard prog?

I really like the album title Caress of Steel so I'm gonna listen to that first, Moving Pictures after that

Thank you
I started off with Caress of Steel too. In fact, it was my first ever prog rock album! The Necromancer and The Fountain of Lamneth are to brilliant songs.

I'd also highly recommend Hemispheres. Personally I think their were at the top of their game with that album.
Permanent Waves and A Farewell To Kings are definitely worth checking out too
As is Vapor Trails, Signals and Power Windows
hell, all their albums are worth checking out, they're such a consistently good band
Moving Pictures is a great gateway album.

Must not forget Grace Under Pressure.
Ok lets agree that everyone should get their entire discography.

Honestly all their stuff up till Moving Pictures is fucking amazing, even the newwave progressive stuff is alright.
I would reccomend starting on Farewell To Kings, it kind of provides a middle section between their hard rock epic sci-fi/fantasy stuff going into their more progressive stuff.
It really gives you a feel of what Rush is about, and their end epic is probably their most hardest/metal song of that time.
also I forgot Xanadu......
XAAAAAAAANAAAAADUUUUUU-

Well I found a Japanese band yesterday that's labeled as prog rock. Their name is Ningenisu.

Well I have listened to Dream Theater before :v:
And Opeth. Not sure exactly why they're labeled prog though.

Have any of you listened to this?

For the love of god avoid Broadsword and the Beast. At least until you've listened to Songs from the Wood, Aqualung, Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play

Not yet, is it good?
Well that's why I'm asking. I haven't listened to it.
It's probably one of the worst album covers I've seen, but must be awesome :smug:
Worst album cover you say...
