No votes for "Lulu" yet? Bah, that must change. "Ocean Cloud" is great though; it was close.

Its also an epic plagiaristic (paen?) fusion of Epitaph by KC,Plague Of Lightkeepers by VDGG and Supper's Ready by Genesis.
 
It may be borderline plagiaristic, but Grendel is far superior (IMO of course) to mentioned songs on all levels. Lyricaly it's a fabulous tale, and musically it's a marvelous 17 minutes ride.
 
I like This strange engine also, but Grendel is the ultimate Marillion epic.

Gotta be fair. Just so you and I know which is the better epic.

Personally I feel that Blind Curve is the best Fish-era Epic.

I vote for This Strange Engine(which I didnīt like in the beginning but now love). I did love Grendel in the beginning but now it feels too much rip off - still a great epic though.
I must say that itīs great listening to Marbles and see that the marillios still can make great songs(epics) like Neverland and The Invisible man. Iīm looking forward to their next release!
