We've had a Fishy one so thought I'd do this one.  I've tried to pick a couple from all albums and the longer or more proggy tracks.  I apologise if I missed your favorite I compiled these very quickly from memory.  Any comments appreciated.  Mine's Ocean Cloud at the moment by the way.

Well as Afraid of Sunlight is my favourite Marillion Album, I would have to nominate something from the ablum. Out of this World is beautiful, Afraid of Sunlift for starters.

I've probably only heard around about half of those, but I really like Easter - I recently put it on a mix-tape for someone. It reminds me of Entangled (the Genesis song).
It's only knock and knowall, but I like it...

There's just too much to choose from... "This Strange Engine" is probably my favourite, though.

My vote goes to "This strange engine" : a simply stunning epic.

In my opinion "This Strange Engine" is a masterpiece... Complete in his 15 perfect minutes, with good variations and a great sentimental climax, with a sensible guitar solo. And the emotional voice of Hogarth, very very very superior to his predecessor, creates the perfect climate to the music.

You forgot "The Space....", which is not only IMO the best Hogarth-era song, but one of the best Marillion songs period.

Ocean Cloud, all the way. I'm not even a Marillion fan and that's still among my favorite post-70s prog tracks.

Sorry I did.  With yer there.  I also forgot Splintering Heart which is pretty smart.  Oh well these would come under 'others' I suppose.

Easter. Lovely song. Great vocal presentation of mr. Hogarth.

I'm very much a Fish-era fan, but I like some later stuff as well. Brave (the album) is good, and I like Hollow Men and Alone Again In the Lap Of Luxury on that one.

I'd like to see what people see as the best Hogarth-era Marillion album. Brave, probably (?). There's probably a thread around. If not, maybe I (or you, reader?) will start one myself one of these days (...I'm going to cut you into little pieces - sorry 'bout that  , Pavlovian Pinkfloydian reaction, I'm not a violent person at all )

But for now: Easter. I once saw a great live version on Dutch tv of that song, with just Hogarth and Rothery (on acoustic guitar), both sitting on bar stools. That was very powerful! Hogarth is no Fish, but he definitely has a great voice and a great stage presence.

Man Of A Thousand Faces, just for the end section where all the vocals build up to that incredible climax. Wow!!

"Season's end" for me, the closing section in particular makes the song. Close second for "Afraid of sunlight".
