| It's safe to say that Marillion have made quite a few brilliant album closers; they have mastered the art of ending the album's journey in the right fashion for that particular journey. But which is your personal favourite? |

| House is probably one of the best songs they ever put out. Great piece of work, very nice triphop, and lovely trumpet. |

this is hard, I have to think a bit why not consider The New Kings as a whole?

Because Tomorrow's New Country isn't part of The New Kings. On the back cover, it's listed separately, as 'track' 6. And yes, I know it's short, but that's the way they've sequenced the album, so TNC is the official closer.

Fugazi followed by 100 Nights. On the other side of the spectrum, A Few Words for the Dead may be the worst thing they ever did. -------------

I have listened to about half of these and vastly prefer Fish era Marillion. That being said, it is still a toss up between Fugazi and Final Straw. I went with the latter seeing as it was without votes. Gotta love that guitar solo from Steve-o. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Forgotten Sons is the song I like the most in the whole Marillion discography. ------------- Curiosity killed a cat, Schroedinger only half. My poor home recorded stuff at https://yellingxoanon.bandcamp.com |

| Many good songs here. You might think I'm crazy, but I'll go with "This Strange Engine", followed by "Made Again". |

Definitely a band of two halves so ... Fugazi. |

| Their closing songs are the best, because you know the album is going to end soon. It's pretty much a tie with all of them, they all equally provide that release. |
