Pick your favourite of the list, or if it is not on the list, tell us which Marillion song from Fish era is the best for you. After a looooooooooot of thinking I decided I will give my vote to Script For A Jester's Tear. It's simply sublime.

I think Grendel for me.  It was a bit of an odd end and was imitative of Supper's Ready, but I like it.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

For my money, "Kayleigh" is their best track.  Gorgeous ballad, with a searing guitar solo.

I´d go with Grendel you know is the first and last epic (the longest) of Marillion, but it was inspired by Supper`s Ready (some sections are quite the same "apocalypse in 9/8) anyway I like it....... instead I´ll go with another great song: Fugazi gets my vote!

Coin toss between Script for a Jester's Tear and Grendel. Finally opted for Grendel. This is seriously one of the best eras in prog, however.

Script For A Jester's Tear. For many reasons. First song in first album and very powerful long perfect song. you can find many vocal style in this song . different voices for different parts of song. Vocal change direction of song as a leader.

Other - Lords of the Backstage, leading onto Blind Curve. Full of venom, passion, and epitomising everything that was great about this ear of the greatest band to walk the planet.

I have to go for other - 'Three Boats Down From the Candy' I'll remember you
 
I think it was the first thing I ever heard by them.  On some radio programme.  I had read stuff in the music papers and this convinced me that they were more than just Genesis imitators like some of the papers were saying.  Even though it was a b side I always thought it should have been on the first album
 
However I do think its an updated Cinema Show (Not musically you know) 
Help me I'm falling!

Great choiceClapClap Absolutely right in what you're saying too - it was clear from the very earliest days that they were far more than mere imitators.

Jigsaw, Lavender is heartwarming and all the others are great too, but this Poll just depends on the mood I'm in...
