Hi all. My first new topic post. So bear with me please.
I was wondering what everyone’s first listen to Marillion, was and what was your take at the time, and moving forward?
Mine was the first full listen to the Clutching at Straws at a newly met ‘friends’ house in college. She said she would put some cool music on. And when I heard I went “wow” what is this??!!!! I had to sheepishly admit that i hadn’t a clue, and although I then made the connection Kayleigh and lavender which got some radio play, I had never really known who it was. I think CAS had just come out. It was a real wow moment for me cause for me it was like this was a brand new band.
Now the friendship ship faded away quickly. Lol. BUT not my fondness of the band. Super big fan of the Fish era. And a big fan of the Hogarth era. For me it’s like two totally diff times. And I enjoy both. Don’t have all the newest releases but my back catalogue is pretty good. Only have a few if the fan releases tho.
Anyhow. I remember seeing various opinions on the band. But couldn’t remember any details. Good and Bad. And I was curious as I was about to throw CAS in ...
