Because im a big fan of Marillion Fish-era... i would a full list of band that has a similar sounds like them. I'll begin my list here down in order of my taste:

Aragon (the best and sometime much original then marillion, but sometime synthetic and cold)
Clepsydra (Great but the keyboards repetitive)
Skeem (Great, but just 1 album released!)
Red Sand( a bit repetitive)
La tulipe Noire (very smooth sound, nice!)
Knight Area (nice!)
Pendragon (bored)
Satellite (too poppy)
Deyss (mediocre)

Someone could say Arena or Shadowland, but Arena is too heavy and Shadowland too poppy for me.

Pendragon are not Marillion clones. For a start, they sound bugger all like them.

I'll third that, most Neo-Porg tends to be a copy of the Pendragon/IQ/Pallas sound rather than Marillions.
 
Anyway, you missed out Credo.

Strange, IQ was not yet cited...
 
Other bands :
Jadis - 'more than meets the eye' (feat. Martin Orford and John Jowitt of IQ)
Enchant - 'a blueprint of the world' (very marillionesque, Steve Rothery is featured on one song (e-bow guitar) and produced the album)
Castanarc - 'journey to the east' (sounds like 'script' in some places)
Collage - 'Baśnie' (before Rober Amirian joined the band, very marillionesque)
Casino - s/t (with the incomparable voice of Geoff Mann, and some somilarities with 'fugazi')
Pablo El Enterrador - s/t
Iluvatar - 'Iluvatar'
Galleon - 'from land to ocean'
Janison Edge - 'the services of Mary Goode'
Landmarq - 'solitary witness' (with Damian Wilson - Threshold)
Landmarq - 'Science of coincicdence' (with Tracy Hitchings on vocals)
Threshold - 'wounded land' (with Damian Wilson)
Shadowland - 'ring of roses'
Annalist - 'artemis'
Quidam - 'Sny aniołów'
Abraxas - 'centurie'
 
There are a lot of marillion-influenced neo-prog bands in Poland, and you can even hear "kayleigh" playing sometimes on the radio !

mmmmmm About Pendragon....it's ok. They have their own style...but in comparison with Marillion are much smoothy.

The IQ was not cited because the armonies of this band are a bit much complex and less commercial oriented

Jadis-Galleon-Collage-Illuvatar are much different, in my opinion from Marillion Sound.

In Jadis the keybords are always covered by guitars

In Galleon the keyboards covered the guitars!

Abraxas is Progressive Metal....

And about the Collage...mmmmm their sound is much like IQ

Illuvatar? Old style like '70...(not like the organ)

Shadowland? No comment

Ehy? all here?

I like Marillion and couldn't be more disappointed with Genesis.  I've been awaiting the "Marillion are just Genesis clones" comment since I saw this topic with only one post.

Marillion is an original copy of Genesis (copy but with original stuff) so if a band sounds like them, they're the copy of an original copy and it would be crap.

I think Marillion fans would enjoy this band.

RAK

Then again, I could be wrong. LOL

Have a listen if you want.

Rak....mmmm

Post other Bands...in the meanwhile i'll listen
Enchant
Castanarc
Annalist
Quidam
Janison Edge

Ok...maybe is better to say why I like Marillion, so you can find other band that don't sound like Marillion, but have features similar to Marillion.

I like the Keyboards and Guitars works, but above all the Mark Kelly solos and the sound of minimoogs presents in much songs of fish-era.

Ok, as one of the main protagonists on the Marillion Round Table thread, let me be the first to say this:

Marillion are NOT bloody Genesis clones. The last such time you could make such an argument was with the release of the debut album, Script For A Jester's Tear. Even with Fish in the band, they moved away from this by Fugazi, and certainly by Misplaced Childhood. As for the Hogarth era, I would be grateful if you could quote me just one track which sounds like Genesis. I've got everything they have done, and have been a fan since the start, so I would be interested in being educated.

I won't hold my breath, though.

Actually, my opinion, for what it's worth, is that Marillion should be categorised as Crossover Prog, not neo.

Sure, but this is another band that through a long career had 2 style : Neo prog 1982-88 and 89 to today Crossover Prog. Is it better to categorize the band with the neo style instead of the Crossover is another debate.

Arena (pre Rob Sowden period) had a similar style to Fish-era Marillion. Also Twelfth Night and Shadowland, and to a lesser extent I would even say the first album of Echolyn.
 
Citizen Cain's Somewhere But Yesterday was more like an early Genesis clone but so good that I never get tired of recommending it.
