Here is the clash of two albums from 1985. What's your pick? I have to pick Childhood easily and I like Power Windows.

Classic Marillion album, gotta be them I think. Now if it was against Moving Pictures or something then forget it lol. |

Power Windows. "Big Money," "Middletown Dreams," "Marathon," "Grand Designs"...those songs thrash Misplaced, which I find to be less consistent than either Fugazi or Clutching at Straws. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

Rush, easily. I can't listen to Marillion anymore. I wasn't keen on PW when it came out but grew to love it. I was obssessed with MP when it came out, and grew to dislike it quite intensely. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

I've tried Misplaced and there are some songs I like but Power Windows is my favorite post-Moving Pictures album so that wins easily ------------- We all live in an amber subdomain, amber subdomain, amber subdomain. My face IS a maserati |

Misplaced Childhood. I may have become less fond of it while age proceeeded, but I still like it. Power Windows is decent. -------------

Me too, except for the fact that I don't dislike MP intensely; it just doesn't appeal to me that much anymore.

Misplaced Childhood is the album where Dick starts singing over everything. So, even though I don't particularly like Power Windows, I find it less annoying than vocalists singing over everything. Hey! Don't listen to Mark Kelly or Steve Rothery! Listen to Me!! "Yeah....yeah..ha...my childhood....oooooo....childhood...." ------------- -John |

Both have their merits. MC is the most mature of all the Fish-era Marillion albums. It is also the most coherent in terms of its sequencing and has some great songs. PW also has some great songs but also a highly energized quality, as if the band is revitalized and refreshed, and entering a new exciting stage - that is why it garnered my vote. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Power windows is actually one of my favorite Rush albums even thought it's fairly poppy. Still thought it had some great tunes on it.

I think Clutching is better with both its material and its sequencing. It cooks from start to finish. ------------- https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_ipg=50&_sop=1&_rdc=1&_ssn=musicosm" rel="nofollow - eBay |

When I was a teen, there was a day when I listened Misplaced Childhood 10 times in a row. I told myself not to do that again. In fact, I did not touch that album for at least a decade. Yesterday, I listened to it again. 3 times in a row. So yeah.

Uh oh, you might have to lock that album up in a safe or something and give someone else the combo.. Then tell them not to give it to you no matter what lol. Welcome |

Thanks for the welcome! And yeah... Misplaced Childhood has a place in my heart alright, its lyrics really speak to me, and I've even credit it to shape me as the person I am now. I am that kind of geek I guess. But you can't fight Onkel Fish's poetry.... To this day, I've found at least one Misplaced Childhood quote to use in almost every situation in my life.

RUSH is my favourite band but "Misplaced Childhood" wins easily. ------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

De nada man. Yeah it a great album, no question. Possibly their greatest. And if the lyrics help you then right on. |

Power Windows. I can't stand Marillion. ------------- Two random guys agreed to shake hands. Just Because. They felt like it, you know. It was an agreement of sorts...a random agreement. |

Power Windows over any Marillion album, despite far from being Rush's best (golden era for me was over after Signals). And I love neo-prog (Arena, IQ). ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/trevorrabin/?chartstyle=basic10" rel="nofollow">  <a href="http://steveer.ic.cz" rel="nofollow" |

Power Windows is good, but Misplaced Childhood is a classic. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I saw both bands, Marillion and Rush, together on the Power Windows tour. And I'll still vote Farwell To Kings. ------------- Progfan1958 "Peace to you all" "La paix est avec vous" "Pax vobiscum" "Al salaam a'alaykum" "Vrede zij met u allen" "Shalom aleichem" |

Tough choice. Today's preference is Power Windows. ------------- Welcome to the middle of the film. |

I find it just the opposite. Half the time I can't tell what song on Clutching I am listening to and it climaxes sonically too many times. I think it's over before it is even half done. This means to me that it is not constructed very well even though I like the songs individually a lot. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |
