Music Is Live

Keep Calm And Listen To The Music…

haha, I get it, it's a great song, but I'd be grateful to see a real list than your little joke. After all, Marillion has released a ton of great songs.

All of the first album, all of the second album..how many is that? 13?

Then Slŕinte Mhath, Just for the Record and Incommunicado. Then Kayleigh, Heart of Lothian, Blind Curve and Childhoods End.

Don't like Hogarth era.
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Having just checked that the OP has not been on this forum since the day this thread was originated, am I permitted to intervene?....





Why thank you!

As a regular poster on the MOLF (Marillion Online Forum) I recently decided to set up a song tournament done in the same way as ones for Genesis and Rush have been done on here fairly recently - voting for your top 3 songs to find the favourite, then the same again without voting for the first song, etc, etc.  And here's the list we generated:

1. This Strange Engine
2. The Invisible Man
3. Neverland
4. The Great Escape
5. Afraid Of Sunlight
6. Easter
7. Estonia
8. Fantastic Place
9. Ocean Cloud
10. Out Of This World
11. Gaza
12. Sugar Mice
13. King
14. Warm Wet Circles
15. Script For A Jester's Tear
16. Blind Curve
17. Seasons' End
18. Somewhere Else
19. The New Kings
20. Slainte Mhath

Debate as you see fit, if you wish!
