Peter Gabriel-era Genesis or Fish-era Marillion?

Genesis of course. Though Marillion was quite good with Fish, never reached the level that Genesis set during the Gabriel era.

I'm not a Marillion fan.  I'm a big Genesis fan.  So it was an easy choice for me.

Which I understand is why Steve Hackett left But then I've never bought the whole 'Genesis copyist' accusation that got thrown at Marillion Fish had slightly Gabriel-esque vocals at times, but equally rather Peter Hammill-esque too, but that's where the similarity ends for me. Never bought the idea that they were Genesis copyists. Nothing like them. That said, I think Genesis were a far superior band for my taste, as much as I liked Marillion at the time, I still listen to Genesis and have long stopped listening to Marillion.

I also don't really find such a big similarity between Marillion and Genesis... besides the fact that they are both prog... and indeed Fish's singing is very similar to Gabriel's (I guess not only his voice, but also some of the theatrical singing). I do have read that Fish actually was more influenced by Hamill, but I find the similarity in voice and aproach closer to Gabriel (and actually, it's Gabriel's and Fish's singing respectively the element I dislike most on both bands).

If anyone sounded like Peter Gabriel, it was the lead singer of Citizen Cain.
Was that Stuart Bell?

What an absurd poll. I'm surprised Marillion managed 3 votes.

Easiest poll ever

yup...

Although I really like Script - the only Marillion album I've kept for three decades

GENESIS very very easily. I vote just for fun.  

Genesis without a question 

NOTE : Vote to Genesis not mean don't like Marillion!!! I die for Gabriel's Genesis and I love Marillion specially Fish era. This poll may make misunderstanding . IMO Genesis is a very better band (musically) . They are very better musicians and ...
