Thats completely true. ^^^
"Kayleigh" is an awesome song. one of my favorite tracks on Misplaced Childhood.
The album is amazing listened to in its entirety. strongly advised for any ardent neo-prog fan.

They both speak the truth
Rotherys guitar solo is IMO mindblowingly emotional and melodic!

It's not the best song by Marillion, but a quite nice track and there is nothing really bad about it.

I'm not a huge Marillion fan, but Kayleigh is quite a nice song and the lyrics are excellent.

Misplaced Childhood was produced at a time Marillion was very popular. Keyleigh has a more commercial envelope, but this track is essential to the hole album. Yes we could skip Keyleigh but only if it was a standard album, like Clutching at Straws (like a skip Going Under).
And considering what was playing on the radio in 1985, Keyleigh is awesome.

If you think that is one of the worst songs ever, you have not idea what a song is. I hope you were exaggerating.

Kayleigh actually makes me sick. Otherwise Marillion is so/so, but that song makes me nauseous. I just hate it. Its just so standard, not proggy at all. Even Genesis's singles (some at least) at the time were more exciting and proggy.

I like Kayleigh, the guitar riff from Rothery is really nice, and I like the chorus. If you ask me, Lavender is the poppiest song on the album, but I still like it (the whole album is brilliant).

I like Kayleigh. Not their best track, but a good hit single. Without Kayleigh, Lavender and Heart Of Lothian I wouldn't have known of Marillion back in 1985. It would have happened afterwards, I admit, because of prog magazines and sites, but still...

I don`t love the song Kayleigh (I like it though) but I see it as important to thread the rest of the Misplaced Childhood story together, I do love the guitar solo in it and I also love the personal lyrics, as Kayleigh was Fish`s wife and the video shows her and the kids in it, for these reasons it makes the song special and far more honest than any of the other MTV crap that was being played back when it was a hit

I love Kayleigh and Fugazi. I prefer Fugazi to Misplaced Childhood.

Maybe as English is not my main language I'm more focused into the melodies of the songs and I don't mind the lyrics so much.
Really is not THAT bad, what I try to say is that Kayleigh in my opinion was the worst song of Fish era, so the rest of their material deserved to be more popular than this one.

Fish's lyrics and inparticular the way he delivers them are very important to each of their songs from that era. As for better songs, they certanly do have better songs but also the likes of Three Boats Down From The Candy, Charting The Single and half of CAS are worse than Kayleigh IMO.
