Afraid, Brave, Marbles, and then Seasons for me.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

 Afraid of Sunlight is the album that made me quit with Marillion. Because of it I don't know Marbles.
The remaining two are different and both have good things. "Living with the big lie" is a great song, but I prefer Seasons End as a whole.
I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution

Season's End comes in close second to Brave. I can't stand Afraid of Sunlight - after that one I didn't buy a single new Marillion album for 10 years...

It's Brave for me. One of my favorite's and just a really well done concept album.

Fish-only snobs, please keep your comments to yourselves. This is for those of us who love the band, regardless of the singer.

These are the four highest-rated Hogarth-era Marillion platters. I agree with three of them. Wink Afraid Of Sunlight is great, but has never done it for me as a full-album listen the way the other three do. I personally would probably swap in Holidays or Happiness Is...

Either way, I like every Marillion album from their debut to Less=more. But from these four, I'd like to see your choices. (I don't recall seeing this one done any time recently, so apologies if anyone's sick of seeing it.)

My vote goes to Brave, which is my favourite Marillion album of all.

Genesis/Yes/Rush/Marillion/VDGG&PH/The Flower Kings/Zappa/Änglagård/Wobbler/PFM/Banco/Le Orme/Jethro Tull/Spock's Beard/Transatlantic/Ayreon/Beardfish/IQ/Dream Theater/Opeth/P.Tree/Arena/Camel/Kaipa!
