Marillion are more often than not described as being one of the best neo-prog bands of the eighties,and produced four excellent albums between 1983-1987,with vocalist Fish.From the four albums pick your favourite! ------------- "Hello sun.Hello bird.

| Not a big Marillion fan, but I like their music. Misplaced childhood probably would be my choice, but the others are good choices too. |

1 Fugazi 2 Clutching at Straws 3 Misplaced Childhood 4 Script. But I like all of them a lot. They're all nearly as good as Seasons End, Marillion's best album. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I have always had a soft spot for Fugazi. It contained the first Marillion song I ever heard and was my first Marillion purchase. After that, Misplaced Childhood, which I think is their most perfectly realized album. The other two have their moments and their virtues, but in many ways I do not care much for them. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

My intro was Script, I liked it, but it was the LP era and I was young and had a tight budget, so if friends I knew weren't keeping up neither did I. I don't find all the albums all that great but still have a soft spot for the first. I still find Grende (not part of the original LP) l to be pretty cool despite it's heavily borrowing, cough cough, from Supper's Ready. |

| Script For A Jester's Tear is extra special. Fugazi is semi-adequate. Misplaced Childhood was and still is a huge disappointment for me. Unlike prior albums it is filled with non-melodic vocals, more chanted than anything, interspersed with interludes of instrumentals with washes of synth more akin to elevator music than anything. Exactly why some people are dissatisfied with Neo. I was very perturbed by that point that they hadn't done a single instrumental piece, and it just completely turned me off the band. Clutching at Straws I never heard. I just presumed it was a Hogarth album. |

1. Clutching 2. Misplaced 3. Fugazi 4. Script The sound quality on Fugazi is really poor. Bad production. Script just has some of the most annoying drumming I've ever heard on a Progressive album (all whack thud whack thud). I feel that Clutching had the best theme, and best sound quality overall. ------------- listen to streaming stuff! no commercials! http://wmom.servemp3.com:8000/listen.pls |

Misplaced Childhood, which has some spine chilling moments and a great story line. Script is a very good debut BTW, and I like Clutching a lot. Just never was a big Fugazi fan. Misplaced Childhood it is. |
