| IQ, the only one I really like out of these. Although Pendragon has a couple decent albums. |

IQ have a swathe of 5* albums (The Wake, Ever, Subterranea, The Road of Bones, The Seventh House) and several 4* ones (Tales From the Lush Attic, Dark Matter, Frequency), so I can't see past them. Marillion have 4 5* albums (Fugazi, Misplaced Childhood, Clutching at Straws and Seasons End) as well as a raft of 4* ones. Pendragon have 3 5* albums (The Window of Life, The Masquerade Overture and Not of This World) and a couple of 4* ones, though they are also stunning live. I'd put them in that order. The other 2 bands are OK but not in the same league. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

Fish era Marillion beats out The Wake and Frequency which are the only IQ albums I listen to these days. I haven't heard a Pendragon album I like yet, and T is well a great musician who makes dull music. Airbag is probably the band I listen to the most these days, but they're a little too close to PT and Floyd for comfort if you ask me. Marillion it is. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack. The knack lies in learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.” - Douglas Adams |

IQ A band which most people don't care/hate just for that neo-prog tag. |

Without doubt IQ, my favourite band of any genre. So damned consistent, and yes I include the 2 Menel-era albums in that! Marillion next, but the H-era has too many weak albums/tracks for them to come close to IQ. Pendragon are still growing on me, Not Of This World is fantastic...  |

| My appreciation is growing for Marillion (6 albums), Pendragon (3) and IQ (2). I definitely plan to get more of their albums in the future. I also like what I've heard of Airbag (assuming it's the Swedish PT/PF-soundalikes). |

 Fish Era Marillion enough for me to vote Marillion in this poll. I heard all of Pendragon's albums and I like them and this is "The Only" different thing! between my opinion and yours here! I agree with you about start to end of your post. |

Marillion with IQ a solid second. The music Marillion creates is simply magical, Misplaced Childhood is a classic. Brave is one of the best concept albums ever and Marbles is magical. Throw in albums like Seasons End, STCBM and TSE, it's a pretty formidable catalog. Micky uses the one album as a coaster not because of the music but because the CD format suxs...I have many CD's I use as coasters and as frisbees -------------

It's unfair to see Marillion with 18 votes against T with one vote, unless we talk about the first Marillion era. T's music is far more interesting and intriguing than the late Marillion. So i give a vote for T over IQ just because, i have a big heart for those lonely and desperate soul against those popular big acts... ------------- Music is the refuge of souls ulcerated by happiness.

I have a big history with IQ, I've been a fan since back in the days when their releases were on cassette . I much prefer the Hogarth-era Marillion to the Fish-era these days, their last few releases have been outstanding. It's a tough call for me between these two superb bands. Pendragon I find a little so-so (and their tendency to "lift" parts of songs really annoys me), and I'd place them behind Airbag in the pecking order. T is ok but last of these 5. I'll vote IQ for the career-long consistency. |

Marillion over Pendragon over IQ IQ would be a close second, cause i love their albums but i've seen them live three times now and three times they just were awful, dull, uninspired, boring for whatever reason |
