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. ------------- Ridicule is the burden of genius. |

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).

There's just too much to choose from... "This Strange Engine" is probably my favourite, though. ------------- "In war there is no time to teach or learn Zen. Carry a strong stick. Bash your attackers." - Zen Master Ikkyu Sojun |

My vote goes to "This strange engine" : a simply stunning epic. ------------- "Magma was the very first gothic rock band" (Didier Lockwood) |

| 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. ------------- "Progressive Rock is the ultimate form of music" (Mikael Akerfeldt, 2003) |

Ocean Cloud, all the way. I'm not even a Marillion fan and that's still among my favorite post-70s prog tracks. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/sollipsist/?chartstyle=kaonashi">

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 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!! ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

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

I voted for Neverland but would also include This Strange Engine as my
favourite. Neverland got the vote as it was a return to the sort of music that Marillion are so capable but the previous 3 or 4 albums could not find. Hope the next album continues the trend. |

Ocean Cloud, closely followed by Interior Lulu (totally underrated) and Neverland. ------------- Interested in my reviews? You can find them http://www.progarchives.com/Collaborators.asp?id=784 - HERE "...He will search until He's found a Way to take the Days..." |
