This one's easy for me. The buildup and solo section of Out of this World...amazing, haunting beautiful. The drums are so crisp and smooth and Rothery solo ghastly and ethereal.... and then after the solo hogarth mourns "what did she sayyyyyy..." One of the most stirring pieces of music I've ever heard, the music and lyrics are so fitting...

Also the crescendo at the end of Man of a Thousand Faces...

The ending of The Invisble Man is also powerful (even more so on the live DVD with Hogarth's theatrics) with the heavy bass pickup and soaring Rothery guitars and finally Hogarth singing (shouting) "Talk to me, Acknowledge me, Confide in me, Confess to me..."

Fish has way too many great vocal moments... just off the top of my head I always liked that section of She Chameleon, " So was it just a f**k, just another f**k, just another f**k I said!"

Marillion has so many great moments....

Theyve got so many good bits IMO its hard to pick one, but if I had to it would probably be Rothery's solo on Easter, amazing doesnt cover it.

The sound that Script For A Jesters Tear makes as it enters the CD grinder.

Must admit though, that 'The Party' is a damn good song and has some briliant parts, the solo is brilliant, but the lyrics are also very dream-like, and the song is so moody, a good contrast to the more 'pop-like' songs such as 'Dry Land' etc.

The harmonics at the start of 'Living With The Big Lie' they're so psychedelic the music feels like it is thick and enveloping you.

Rothery's orgasmic solo in Keyleigh...

Lavender is awesome also... And of Course, Heart of Lothian...

Script for a Jesters tear is also an awesome tune...

Definitely the whole song 'Hearts Of Lothian'- a genuinely moving track with excellent vocals, keys and guitar.

'The game is over....' part in 'Script For A Jester's Tear' comes close too.
