I've often wished Marillion were an instrumental (no vocals) band. With both eras, I can take or leave the lyrics and vocals.

At one time, I owned all the Fish-era albums, but in spite of a few good songs, they just didn't stand the test of time with me. They are no longer a part of my music listening.

I do still own and listen to Seasons End, Holidays in Eden, and Brave. I consider Brave to be their masterpiece - in fact, I consider this album to be SO definitive and all-consuming that I've refused to listen to anything they've done since!

I will say that Marillion's musicianship is incredible no matter who is singing.

so you haven't listened to Anoraknophobia, Marble, FEAR, Sounds that Can't Be Made?
You're missing out IMO. 

Man, are these albums so excellent

true---I don't love all of either period of the band---but I think there is some great stuff from both periods--probably a little more greatness from the H period---they all became better musicians.

I came to Marillion late in the game (post Fish).  That said I much prefer the Steve Hogarth era.

Steve Hogarth turned up on Pointless Celebrities last night which was a bit of a surprise. I like post-Fish Marillion but not a massive fan of his voice, it does grate on me a bit.

I have a feeling Colin Salmon and Walter Trout may be nicknamed Fish too, not to mention Julian Bream. There's a Plaice for all of them.Smile

Thanks, and I like your pun too!  Thumbs Up  I thought Steve Hillage may be nicknamed Fish too, but that was just a Red Herring. Smile

I think the fish era is certainly more " proggy" but I own 5 hogarth albums and enjoy them for what they are. I still have difficulty with Brave but I'm getting there I think.
I have only the first fish album which I found average to be honest.

I loved Marillion with Fish. I've got all the Fish era albums. When Fish left I was very sad, but I bought the new album from the band, and the solo album from Fish.

Both of them disappointed me.

The chemistry was gone. Fish had the vocal sound I loved, with that Scottish leer, and the intelligent lyrics, and the concepts where themes crossed over between albums.

Combine that with the great musicianship of the band, especially Steve Rothery's guitar, and the result was something special.

I have albums from the Hogarth era, but they just don't hold the same appeal for me.

The Hogarth albums are fairly standard rock. They're not particularly proggy. The musicianship is still good, but, for me, the magic died when Fish left.

They are fools! Sleepy

I like everything Marillion did with Fish. With Hogarth they made some very good albums, some OK albums and some disappointing albums - that happens when a band is having a long career. Never understood why you should dismiss a band when they change the singer (or any other member, for that matter...). It is not as if they became radically different in their music; yes, they changed (fortunately), but they remained recognizably Marillion to my ears (with some exceptions).

I think he has a wider range and his voice is more recognizable.

though I prefer Marillion with fish I still have loads of respect they have done after fish left the band, some really strong material. I'm a big fan of the holidays in eden album ..something I noticed a lot of marillion fans aren't, but I disagree, 100 nights is one of marillions best ever songs ! Tongue
