This is incredibly difficult. Not only picking 20 songs, but also ordering them. It doesn't help that I usually get more into albums than particular songs whenever I go through a Marillion phase.

But I'll try this anyway.

Torch Song

Seasons End

The Uninvited Guest

The Last Straw

Fugazi

Jigsaw

Afraid Of Sunlight

Three Minute Boy

This Town Trilogy

Hotel Hobbies/Warm Wet Circles/That Time Of The Night Trilogy

The Lap Of Luxury

Bitter Suite (Especially for the amazing Blue Angel section)

Script For A Jesters Tear

Grendel

The Fruit of the Wild Rose

Holidays In Eden

Heart Of Lothian

White Russian

Sugar Mice

Easter

Slainte Mhath

Marillion have some of the best title tracks.

I wonder if I really should do this.... listen to the whole Marillion discography, pick out the great songs, comparing all of them and choose 20. A lot of work.....but I like the idea. I'll be back with a list, if I succeed!
