	LATE Genesis only?? Then Marillion gets my vote, no question. I think Duke was an excellent album by Genesis, but it was the only 'excellent' album they produced in the 80's IMO. Marillion produced two excellent albums (Script & Fugazi) and few 'very good' ones (Misplaced C, & CAS)
	Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

	Marillion any day. Foxtrot vs Script For a Jester's tear, really no contest, script wins Trespass vs Fugazi, again no contest, fugazi wins Selling England vs Misplaced, ehrm, tough contest, Selling England wins Nursery Cryme vs Brave, tough again, but Brave wins The Lamb vs Clutching, really no contest, the lamb bows down at the feet of Clutching at straws Everything from Genesis after the Lamb is really no match for our winner. marillion owns Genesis.

	Genesis. For what they did in the '70's and early eighties. Marillion is good too, but compared to Genesis it's Second League to me. Still, I admire their progressive attitude since Brave.

	I'll take the genuine thing, even if it is popped up a bit, over Marillion any day.

	This is Genesis starting when Marillion started, who apparently sounded a lot like Genesis in their early days. Genesis was no longer what they once were. So Genesis at "Duke" and the beginning of Marillion.
