ALL of Misplaced Childhood, but in particular, th percussion parts on "Waterhole," the last two minutes or so of "Bitter Suite," Rothery's guitar on "Heart of Lothian," and well, like I said, the whole album (yes, including "Kayleigh").

Also, there's something about "Easter" and "Dry Land" that I really like.

Has anyone said "Hooks in You" yet???

Fish

music -guitar solo on Heart of Lothian

lyric -as the glancing headlights of the last bus kiss adolescence goodbye. (Warm Wet Circles)

live moment -MC tour..I see children pleading with outstretched hands drenched in napalm , this is no vietnam (incredibly intense moment courtesy of Fish)

H

music -the opening guitar bit on King of Sunset Town

lyric -you stare at yourself in the cruel flush of dawn, terrified sunken eyed withered and drawn. (Berlin)

live moment -HIE tour...The Space (The only time I've ever seen H REALLY let er rip with the vocal power that hes capable of...incredible)

these are by no means definitive, there are so many great bits

There are too many good Marillion pieces to mention. But recently I'm completely hooked to the "Marbles" album.

One of the great tracks is "Neverland", and the most beautiful and emotional part imho is when H starts to "stutter" when...when...when... etc, and then the guitar takes it's theme again... wow, all the way to the end of the song it's a trip.

 Also, the last minutes of "The invisible Man" when H's voice more or less "breaks" that part is incredible.

TRYN´TO NOT REPEAT MANY OF THEM, I´M GLAD TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE OTHER PROGGERS WHO THINK LIKE ME... ABOUT "THE SPACE", "THE LAST STRAW", "WHITE RUSSIAN", OUT OF THIS WORLD", "KING", "HEART OF LOTHIAN", ETC...

 

-THE END OF "THIS STRANGE ENGINE" (WHEN HOGARTH RIPS OFF HIS VOICE!!!)

-THE GUITAR SOLO AFTER THE SECOND CHORUS IN "THE KING OF SUNSET TOWN" (I ALWAYS HAVE TO PRESS THE REWIND BUTTON!!!)

-THE SECOND PART OF "RUNAWAY"

-THE CODA OF "QUARTZ"

-THE BRIDGE AND CODA OF "BETWEEN YOU AND ME"

-THE FIRST AND LAST SOLO AND CODA OF "SPLINTERING HEART"

-THE SOLO AND WONDERFULLY SIMPLE PIANO FINALE OF "WAITING TO HAPPEN"

-THE KEYBOARD SOLO AFTER THE BRIDGE OF "AFRAID OF SUNLIGHT"

I know what you mean.......as I said I'm not a fan, but I'm still trying, and there are a few things I like.........Clutching At Straws for example....good album.

I don't really HATE them or something. There are some bits I enjoy... but not too many

It's very hard to pick a "favourite bit", as there are so many divine moments on every marillion-album. Nonetheless what's making me absolutely helpless is the first part of "Interior Lulu", until, say, the "song" before it starts to become a prog-magnum-opus... that mood and feel's just killing me...

...I'm a musician/singer/songwriter, visit me on www.reverbnation.com/rupertlenz and there you can choose from 125 recordings you can listen to ( for free ) if you're not limited to prog-rock !
