I love Fish-era Marillion but recently I have been listening to Anorak in the UK Live. It's great when it starts where the man from the circus is talking and then the band kick in playing heavy.

^ I hate to be a prog pedant...but I reckon he says: 'Dont GIVE me your problems!' I may be wrong though... As for the end of 'Script..' I concur. That song is one of their best IMO, anyway, but I really love that weepy ending with the slow fade out (perhaps one of the few occassions where a fade out really works)..

Correction= STOP GIVING ME your problems! But I know what you mean- i like that one too but its not my favourite Marillion bit... That'd probably be towards the end of Script for a Jester's Tear: "From this wedding, now a Wake!" So so good.. Also the extremely fast synth-keyboard in The Web . VERY cool! Edited by Starette |

Oh definately, it goes so well after the solo. Other stand out moments for me are: The screamed line "BUT EVEN JESTERS CRY" and the solo from The Web. The last guitar solo on Grendel. The last couple of minutes of Forgotten Sons. Practically the whole of Misplaced Childhood, bur particularly the repeated melody from Lavender and the guitar solo from Kayleigh. I also really like the bass parts in Childhood's End? The last minute and a half of Warm Wet Circles. The first few guitar chords of Slainte Mhath The solo and arpeggios from Sugar Mice. The last few minutes of The Last Straw starting with a sublime Rothery solo. The solo and chord arpeggio from Easter. The chord arpeggio from Alone Again in the Lap of Luxury. The last few minutes of the last track from Brave (Forgot what it's called) The chord progression and piano solo from Man of a Thousand Faces. The slide guitar solo from Ocean Cloud. Among many many others. Incidentally many of the great guitar parts that I mentioned above are tabbed out on this excellent website: www.marillionmusic.co.uk. Edited by Forgotten Son |

I have at least narrowed it done to the song, Script For A Jester's Tear ... but I keep changing my mind ... I'll go with this segment Too much, too soon, too far to go, too late to play ... the game is over Drama queen or tortured poet ... what's the diff, eh? |

That's a great illustration of the genius of Fish's lyrics - they mean different things to different people (like all great art), and they say a heck of a lot about the person reading them. |

It's Fish and only Fish for me when it comes to Marillion. It was good to see the music didn't change much after he left, but I just can't get beyond the new "breathy" singer enough to fully enjoy the music...and I have been trying. So for me Clutching at Straws is the apex of their career and the song that does it most for me is Slàinte Mhath, but the live version of La Gazza Ladra. |

Where to begin...? I think, if I had to settle for one, it'd be the entire chunk running from the spoken section to the end of "Forgotten Sons". |

Bitter Suite from Misplaced Childhood, the part where fish says "I can hear your heart" first in french then english. That part nearly made me cry a few times
Also The Lord's Prayer section of Forgotten sons from Scrpt for a Jester's Tear. |

Too hard to choose. But most likely The last couple minutes of "Easter," even though it may change completely in 30 seconds. |
