It ain't gonna happen with The Web up for grabs methinks. That is unless Hemulen and a couple of guys from the ZART quarters suddenly decide to drop a vote.

Sorry, but even if in the ZART, I like YES too much so I voted for Cinema. 

Let me say that with multiple votes Art Zoyd and Oldfield could have been my choice as well.

Of these, The Web, even though it's nowhere near the best track on Script!

Art Zoyd are never going to win against Genesis, Marillion, Floyd & Yes. But it would be nice if they did.

No surprises, I'm going with the obvious for me one, Art Zoyd's "Migrations".  Terrific track, I think.

I have a hard time deciding between The Web or Crises.
 
Web is one of my favourite marillion songs. Crises is the best Oldfield song I have heard, and also the best song featuring Simon Phillips on drums that I've heard. Great sound.It's a bit strange though melody and harmony wise, although good. The second part is the best, from the point where the 16th note synth comes in.
 
Still...I think I'll choose the Web after all.

I simply cannot believe that Mama made it this far.  To my ears, it's the low point of Genesis'career, along with Illegal Alien.  It was hard to believe this was the same band who gave us Supper's Ready.

I actually like "Mama", though it wouldn't have made my nominations by a long shot.

As much as I love Script, I find The Web to be about the one track which hasn't aged particularly well, and simply comes nowhere near Oldfield's Crisis, which is one of his finest. That gets the vote.


In Lazland, life is transient. Prog is permanent.

The only thing I like about Mama is that Collins sounds as if he's about to choke
