Music is Life

Introduction

Current List (as October, 2000) of much enjoyed bands and artists

You'll find a list of some of my most enjoyed bands. Eventually, this list will grow until all my music is in here. Now, there's only complete albums listed in here. Singles, Maxi-singles and all that are out until my next revision of the page.

The convention used in the albums listing is:

1. An integer number (base 10)
2. Album's name
3. Year of release or copyright or something similar ;P
4. Media purchased.
   (Obviously, if there's more than one type means that I actually purchased it in more than one media. Yes, Bozos'R'Us.)
   
   
   • CD - Compact Disc
   • LP - Long Play Album
   • K7 - Music Cassette
5. Notes

List of Artists

• Mike Oldfield
• Marillion
• Fish
• Rush

Mike Oldfield

(Top)

This english-born, guitar virtuoso shows its celtic roots whenever possible.

As a secret, his personal preferences for music include heavy-metal. This is shown in some of his songs and also in delimited parts of his long themes.

Marillion

(Top)

A very special band, Marillion is a survivor of the Progressive-Symphonic Rock bands.

Born with Fish as a leading vocalist and alma mater of the Band.
When he left the band, Steve Hogart joined them, changing it's path forever.

Now they are different.
Not better, nor worst.
Just plainly different.

Marillion is compossed by those great guys:

Derek Dick "Fish" (until 1989), Steve Hogart (from 1990) as leading vocalists; Steve Rothery on guitars; Mark Kelly on keyboards; Pete Tewavas on bass guitar; Mike Pointer (1982-83), John Martyr (1983) and Ian Mosley (1984-on) on drums and percussion.

Fish

(Top)

This scotish man is a one-in-a-million vocalist.

You could think that he is a lumber-jack or a pier-worker. His sheer height and powerful voice looming over you on stage can disturb your animal instincts, while his music compositions will disturb your mind.

Fish will sing you about daily heroes, Scotland or else.

Unfortunately, after leaving Marillion the distribution chanels forgot my usual buying spots, so I'm missing a big part of his masterpieces.
Hopefully, with enough internet time, available money and luck, I'll increase my collection of this Boy's Own Stories.

Rush

(Top)

This canadian Band (yeah! they're Canadian) is what Led Zeppelin would have looked like if they stayed on Bussiness. Specialy their first album is like Led Zeppelin with a slightly different voice.

Who are those guys?

Actually, Geddy Lee is the voice, Rush most obvious and notorious trademark.
Alex Lifeson is the guitarrist who evolved from metal-guitarrist to virtuoso.
Neil Peart took over the drums from John Rutsey. (John left after their first album.)
Neil become the creative soul after Rush masterpieces.
