It's Seasons End with the end of spring and the official beginning of summer on another swelteringly hot day here in England where the Radiation from the sun is intense today. I'm not Afraid of Sunlight, but it's always wise to cover up and wear a hat when going out in this hot and humid weather, although I draw the line at wearing an anorak - not that I suffer from Anoraknophobia, or is that a F.E.A.R. of spiders? Anyway, the Clock's Already Ticking and I don't have Somewhere Else to be today, so it's time again to gather round with Friends and Family for yet another Top 7 albums poll and this time it's the turn of Marillion. It's embarrassing to admit this, but I was a relative latecomer to the wonderful music of Marillion (The Gold standard of Neo Prog) having spent a Misplaced Childhood listening to Popular Music on the radio such as Glam Rock, and later New Wave/Synth Pop when I should have been listening to Prog Rock instead, or is that all just Smoke and Mirrors? I've decided to be Brave by offering my alternative Top 7 too, as we go Tumbling Down the Years through Marillion's long discography, although admittedly, I'd be Clutching at Straws if I expected anyone to agree with my Top 7. Never F.E.A.R. though, I'm not losing my Marbles. Not just yet anyway. Tongue

Simply list your Top 7 Marillion albums in order of preference below and then I'll assign the usual system of points to your listings:-

1st album - 12 points

2nd album - 8 points

3rd album - 6 points

4th album - 4 points

5th album - 3 points

6th album - 2 points

7th album - 1 point

Here's my Top 7 to get the poll underway:-

1. A Monstrously Festive(al) Christmas (12 points)

2. All One Tonight: Live at the Royal Albert Hall (8 points)

3. With Friends from the Orchestra (6 points)

4. With Friends at St. David's (4 points)

5. Brave (3 points)

6. Afraid of Sunlight (2 points)

7. Script for a Jester's Tear (1 point)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen

Take me down, to the underground
Won't you take me down, to the underground
Why oh why, there is no light
And if I can't sleep, can you hold my life

to me Misplace Childhood is their Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. About 80-90% utterly brilliant but then there is that other 10-20% that's difficult to enjoy.

Misplaced Childhood was the first Marillion album I ever bought, even though it's my least favourite Marillion album. Confused

I bought seasons end and holidays in Eden both, I listen to them since the eighties but I was never bought an album then…

My Mariilion collection on CD. I'd be losing my Marbles if I passed up the opportunity to buy any of these albums at the bargain price of £2. Smile
