Marillion are more often than not described as being one of the best neo-prog bands of the eighties,and produced four excellent albums between 1983-1987,with vocalist Fish.From the four albums pick your favourite!

Not a big Marillion fan, but I like their music. Misplaced childhood probably would be my choice, but the others are good choices too.

1 Fugazi
2 Clutching at Straws
3 Misplaced Childhood
4 Script.

But I like all of them a lot. They're all nearly as good as Seasons End, Marillion's best album.

I have always had a soft spot for Fugazi.  It contained the first Marillion song I ever heard and was my first Marillion purchase.  After that, Misplaced Childhood, which I think is their most perfectly realized album.  The other two have their moments and their virtues, but in many ways I do not care much for them.

My intro was Script, I liked it, but it was the LP era and I was young and had a tight budget, so if friends I knew weren't keeping up neither did I.  I don't find all the albums all that great but still have a soft spot for the first.  I still find Grende (not part of the original LP) l to be pretty cool despite it's heavily borrowing, cough cough, from Supper's Ready.

Script For A Jester's Tear is extra special. Fugazi is semi-adequate. Misplaced Childhood was and still is a huge disappointment for me. Unlike prior albums it is filled with non-melodic vocals, more chanted than anything, interspersed with interludes of instrumentals with washes of synth more akin to elevator music than anything. Exactly why some people are dissatisfied with Neo. I was very perturbed by that point that they hadn't done a single instrumental piece, and it just completely turned me off the band. Clutching at Straws I never heard. I just presumed it was a Hogarth album.

1.  Clutching
2.  Misplaced
3.  Fugazi
4.  Script

The sound quality on Fugazi is really poor.  Bad production.  Script just has some of the most annoying drumming I've ever heard on a Progressive album (all whack thud whack thud).  I feel that Clutching had the best theme, and best sound quality overall.
listen to streaming stuff! no commercials!

Misplaced Childhood, which has some spine chilling moments and a great story line.
Script is a very good debut BTW, and I like Clutching a lot. Just never was a big Fugazi fan.
Misplaced Childhood it is.
