As for IQ, so far the clear winner in this poll, I find that by this album Peter Nicholls had started running out of vocal ideas, with the same sung melodies being repeated across different tracks and albums.
Having said that, Harvest Of Souls remains one of my favourite ever IQ tracks.

I think my grandmother would like Marbles too if she was still here. I'm old enough to be someone's grandad now though and I like the album, so I suppose that's some kind of recommendation. Tongue

Well, maybe I've lost my marbles too, because I Love the Marbles album and it's all I have from the Hogarth era - not including the painting on my wall. Tongue

The Invisible Man
You're Gone
Don't Hurt Yourself
Ocean Cloud
The Damage
Drilling Holes
Neverland

and keep the rest for the special edition thingy

You honestly thought they replaced Fish with an illustrator ?

That rare album rolled into my lap last year at a bargain price from Langley Mill Records. I've been angling to net all of the albums from the Fish era, but Marbles  still remains  the only Marillion CD I have from the Hogarth era.


A good debut Paul, it's never to late

Dark Matter. Martin Orford's swan song with IQ and an album he shows his true genius on. 
Seven is Magenta's best album and runs Dark Matter very close. Both are superb albums.

IQ by a considerable margin over Marillion

Although, weirdly, Dark Matter contains a couple of IQ’s “weaker” songs and Marbles some of Marillion’s best!🤔

Magenta's best album (although We Are Legend almost usurped it).

IQ before Marillion, Rain and Fish
Surprising to find Rain' s Cerulean blue in this list , a CD to the almost confidential diffusion that I very much appreciated

Sorry never been a fan of Magenta
