I can't believe Cassiber isn't winning. Y'all know that album, right? Right?

I'm partial to Clutching as Straws.

I do, but I didn't know the Shub-Niggurath one.

Perhaps PA'ers preferred it when Alfred Harth was in the band, eh readers?

Although , Marillion isn't one of my top bands , in this poll "Clutching at Straws' seems to me the best album !

I tried to make a broader poll, but these are great albums as well.  Personally, I would have gone with 'Heatwave' rather than 'UZed'...

Although I consider Marillion to be one of my very favourite bands, I consider Clutching At Straws to be one of their poorer albums 

Take out Warm Wet Circles, which is a work of genius and I agree with you.

Essentially a tossup between Art Zoyd & Cassiber, since both deserve a LOT more love.  Flipped an imaginary coin and went for Berlin.  Shub-Niggurath was a strong contender, but it already has a lot of love.
