The early 80 years music where so great. It was the time of my life where school time ends and my first job startet.
All this years, a Britisch band took an important role. This was Marllion!

Thanks to my friend Hive account@uwelang who nominated my for the #musicwaybackchallenge. You helped me to spend a few hours thinking to this time. A time where music was hand made and performed by people who have talent.

Marillion
In the era with Singer Fish

This band was doing a wonderful mix between the styles of punk rock and classic progressive rock called neo-progressive rock and Marillion was very successful with this new style.

Marillion painted at the wall

In the mid eighties I was so much in Love with this band, that I got a friend of mine painting me a part of the album cover on a wall at my first flat.

Marillion - Script For A Jester's Tear

A song which always comes with Goosebombs to me.

---

Marillion - Misplaced Childhood - Rock am Ring - 1985

I you look around carefully, you might see Hive account@detlev somewhere around at this festival in 1985 in Germany. What a great time.

Marillion - Lavender

Another so powerful song from Marillion with the voice from Fish

---

The man with THAT voice

Fish, the man with this enormous voice, was with Marillion only until 1988 and left the band due some problems with the manager.

There is a good read about this at the Wikipedia article where you as well get a lot more information about this so different band.

No Fish

The #musicwaybackchallenge

Here the rules again:

• Choose one song from your high-school/college years.
• Write a few words about who made you listen to this song for the first time, what this song means to you (was it a breakup song? you blasted it at 100% on your audio system when you were partying with your friends?) whatever you want.
• Write your text while listening to the song. As soon as the song ends, wrap up what you where writing and submit it.
• Do this for 7 days in a row if you get nominated
• Mention one person who should do this on each day.
• Tag it with #musicwaybackchallenge and include these rules at the bottom of your post
