Wow, that's really cool! I just signed up for it; it's album-length!  Thanks a lot Smile  Maybe I can find out what I like more from the sampler.

You're welcome.  It takes the songs a bit out of context, but it should at least give you a flavor of where they were at musically on certain albums.

For starters, get indeed either Brave, Afraid of sunlight or Marbles, and if you liked that, get any other album.

I think I've decided on getting Brave and Marbles, but I'll wait until I recieve the Crash Course sampler.
Thanks for all the help guys. Clap
 
By the way, I have both Script.. and Misplaced Childhood (obviously not the H-era), and I must say, I enjoy them very much.  Marillion is the only neo-prog band that I can listen to.  :)

You should get Clutching at Straws.  I'd put it just below Misplaced Childhood, but only slightly.  Fugazi is also worth checking out, athough I don't like it quite as much as the other Fish-era albums.

Don't bother with Holidays in Eden, marillion.com, Radiation, Somewhere Else or Anoraknophobia until you're a solid fan.

Best to start with Seasons End, Brave, or Marbles.

Holidays In Eden has quite nice tunes although its very much the poppier side of Marillion.

Vigil and Internal Exile are fantastic, Raingods slightly less so. He has way too much middle of the road, modern Bon Jovi with keyboards rock on his newest.

I find Fish's 13th Star very good. I like it even more than most things by H-era Marillion.

Ivan and I definitely have different tastes, but on Hogarth-era Marillion we share the same opinion. I'm not too much of a Marillion fan myself and prefer "Fugazi" over "Script for a Jester's Tear", while "Misplaced Childhood" is definitely a step in the wrong direction. But while Marillion with Fish are at least passable they are the pits with Hogarth.

Sorry, Ivan, but really disappointed with this. You know I consider you a friend, but I thought you were above posts of this nature. This clearly wasn't the thread for you.

The author was simply looking for suggestions. Just because you don't like a particular era doesn't mean that somebody else will feel the same way. I can't stand Jethro Tull; but, if somebody were to ask for suggestions then it's not my place to chime in one way or another. Let somebody who can appreciate it guide the person.

Just my two cents.

Ivan gave his suggestion: Don't buy any of them! What's wrong with that?
