QotD: My Musical Influence
Which friend or acquaintance most influenced your taste in music?
Submitted by Rev Stan.
Hmmm my school friend Rachael most influenced my musical tastes in way I never expected. She was always ranting on about a band called Marillion. Oh how we scoffed at her! Number two singles, "dancing in stilettos in the park", what a silly pop-rock affair!
Then she lent me a copy Fugazi, the album that changed my life. The searing guitars lifted me up whilst the burning anger and bitterness of the forlorn lyrics branded my teenage soul. I have been a fan now for over 20 years, been through the rough and the smooth with a band that always given back as much as they take from the fans. We are a community, and we have found a better way at www.marillion.com.
Thankyou Rachael, wherever you are.
