I really do not see how you can compare the two.

Anyhow, given that we are being asked to, I really like both Signals and GUP, both extremely fine albums. I thought that the quality of Rush music declined from sublime to merely good after that.

Marillion are my favourite band, and each of the first three are exceptional works, whilst the last of the Fish era albums, whilst containing some exceptional tracks, was the sound of a band which needed a rest from both the work and each other.

Anyhow, Marillion for me.

Amen, whatever-logically or otherwise. They did have in their favor Ian Mosley on the sticks, a member of Hackett's touring band in the '80s, but I can't find much else of merit to say about them. Rush had much to recommend them during this "synth-era," so I had to give them the vote here.

Marillion with Fish. I am not very fond of post-Signals 80's Rush (though I like Hold Your Fire).

Rush fan here and I don't think I've ever heard more than a handful of Marillion songs so no vote for me.

This. And I quite like Marillion (though I prefer H's period).

Signals was Rush's last good record.
Marillion by a mile.

Haven't listened to a lot of Marillion aside from Misplaced Childhood, but since that's their highest-rated album, I think I can feel safe voting for Rush. I think they had a much better blend of synthy proggy pop than Marillion... some songs on MC just sound like pop for the sake of pop.

The worst Marillion album is still better than the best Rush album. Smile

I've gone for Rush as, although Marillion were more prog, the consistence of Rush's output during that period was probably greater for me...
