If Brave were a bit shorter the choice would be a lot closer. As it stands Brave just drags on too much to rival Misplaced Childhood in any way.

Brave is a great album but Misplaced Childhood is slightly better imo.

Misplaced Childhood gets my vote.

Although Lavender does make me cringe. I took some flak at school for liking Marillion when they released that single...

Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

I reckon it was kicked into touch by both 'Script..' and 'Fugazi'

I really like the song, particularly the secong half. The lyrics are a bit but the vocal and guitar melodies are sopt on. It's Waterhole (Expresso Bongo), Lords of the Backstage and to a lesser extent White Feather that let me down from that album.

Hard choice for me this one.

I would probably rate MC as the weakest Fish-era album, not that I'm saying it's bad it just doesn't have the same drive as Script, Fugazi and CAS.  It's still progressive but Script & Fugazi set the benchmark and I found Misplaced to be more of a sell out to the masses (I can hear you all now shouting "what's he on about!!!!!")

After the commercial flop of Holidays in Eden, I was delighted to find Marillion had returned to their  prog roots with the conceptual Brave.  This album has some stunning musical moments. 

SO........Brave for me !

 
So here I am once more
