I have to say, that if it's late Genesis vs. early Marillion, early Marillion is the winner hands down. I love Duke, like Abacab, love the first side of Shapes, like Domino off of IT, and like DTLS and Fading Lights off of WCD; I did really like Calling All Stations, even if it did sound like a cross between Bankstatement and Mike and the Mechanics. On the other hand, I love Script and Fugazi, and CAS ranks as one of my favorite all-time albums. MC was o.k. I liked some parts of it. And Hogarth-era Marillion was good too up through TSE. Overall, I would say that Marillion was producing far superior work in the 80's than Genesis. Of course, early Genesis vs. early Marillion would be a whole different ballgame.
My vote goes to Marillion.

Never forget Marillion would never have existed without Genesis.
Actually the first times I heard Marillion I thought it was a new group
led by Peter Gabriel, which accounted for the almost Genesis rip-off
quality of the first Marillion records (even more so Grendel or Market
Square Heroes in the previous EPs) and the weird cover up name the
vocalist had (Fish). It was good to have a Genesis ver. 2.0 as I missed
them in the 80's. I always had quite a laugh when reading how much it
irritated the Fish-version of Marillion to be compared to Genesis, I
mean how the heck could they deny it!? Listeners all over the world
aren't stupid. I still enjoy Marillion up till today, great material.

Genesis I guess  Marillion lost a lot with Hogarth, they became a
completely diferent band - they should have changed their name, at least
you wouldnt except things to be the same, while Genesis was the same
band with a sound that progressed (not that good progression) ... Yeah
Genesis

I'm not a fan of either band, but I voted Genesis because they are the original - without them there wouldn't have been any Marillion. Obviously, Marillion's early output is vastly superior to anything Genesis did from the early '80s onwards, but one cannot forget the difference between the master and the apprentice, as Kirklott wonderfully put it.

In my opinion , only "Invisible touch" and "Genesis" are worse then the BEST Marillion-album which, IMO, is "Script...". Genesis is Genesis, so I voted Genesis

Marillion by a mile. Only Duke and ATTWT were reasonable late Genesis albums (3 stars each), whereas Marillion scored several 4-5 star albums.

Addendum: If we're going to go off the author's topic and include any Genesis from 1972- & nbsp; 1977,then it's Genesis easily.

Oh, okay, LATE Genesis vs. Marillion. Sorry, I should the intro to the threads better before I start replying. I'm extremely irritating these days.
Except for the magnificent Three Sides Live Album my answer would be: Marillion. They beat Genesis after 1983. But I listen to both, even later Genesis, which has it's moments from time to time.

This poll can't be serious. We're talking about the master vs. the apprentice.
It's true the master was eventually lured to the dark side, but so was the apprentice.
