Another epic - Marillion this time:

It took a while to get into, but it's getting better throughout the song

I remember hearing the songs I have just posted when I was about 15 - blew me away at the time.

Seems so long ago

Nothing is ever too long ago

Love listening to this type of music, compared to some of the trash that's about today

This genre of music is where I need some decent speakers, instead of my crappy headphones

This is my current passion:

Where in the West Midlands do you live Frozo?
We have a major 60's, 70s & 80's local rock scene here in Stoke for live bands.

Something very different, but strangely good.

What's your first?

Everything seems 'tame' after classic NightWish took me a while to get into them but I can't stop listening now.

Edit: If your a 'Tull fan, skip to 05:00 have a listen then try from the start!

Not one mention of Hendrix Experience. Terrible.

Mason- · 6 Dec 2012 at 02:23

Thats because the best part of the hendrix experience is the drummer and not hendrix.

I've seen Tull live from 1972 at least 10 times and have all their live DVDs, in fact Living With The Past was the DVD that made me buy my first DVD player.
I went to see a superb Tull tribute called Cold Flame the other week and 10 people turned up

Their Ian Anderson was spot on.

FARGO · 6 Dec 2012 at 08:51

I have a feeling I'm a wee bit younger than you Dimple

I've not seen Ian or the current line up play - would love to have seen them throughout the years.
