A hard choice !

I voted "Slainthé Mhath" because of its excellent lyric and a big sound and Fish becomes angry at the end. Needless to say I already regret to not have voted for incubus, the last straw, Chelsea monday or Punch and Judy.

Tough, but my favourite wasn't there.

White Russian.

It's a song I sing with all my might, arms wide, eyes closed. The true sign of a great song.

Slainthé Mhath and Forgotten Sons very close behind.

Great thread with so many to choose,I think it has to be Script for a Jester's tear.The man is amazing, as I have stated previously in my thread on' Raingods with zippos' this immensely talented man has to be encouraged to stay on in the music scene.I believe he is touring this summer with the 'Misplaced Childhood' tour, there had better be Scottish dates.If you read in here fishy, get a grip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Original Web with the keyboards prominent all the way through - the album version is crap in comparison - my greatest disappointment ever in prog that was !

INCUBUS!

Fish's most wicked lyrics in a romantic context, and some of the most impressive motifs that Marillion has ever written - the guitar solo interlude sends endless chills to my spine, and the emotional climax is an exciting tale of cruelty out of rejected love. Wicked, really wicked.

Regards.

Fish's last recorded contribution 'The Last Straw'.

The line 'I'm still drowning...' always gets me.

Lots of good other ones though, Forgotten Sons, Fugazi, Cinderella Search, Heart Of Lothian (if you ever heard it played live at the Edinburgh Playhouse you'd know why), Warm Wet Circles, Tux On to name but a few.

I almost voted Grendel. I gave the solitary vote to Hotel Hobbies, but for me, it + Warm Wet Circles + At That Time of the Night are actually one. I still remember the first listen after a long wait (at the only time of my life when I was a FAN of something). Some of the magic is still there, especially in the guitar sound in these songs.

"Do you remember ...

the pop singles Kayleigh, Lavender Blue and Incommunicado are what first drew me to Marillion ... although Grendel and Script eventually became my favourites ... I still think I would have been tempted to vote for Kayleigh though ... maybe simply because I remember

Script gets the nod ...
"Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love! Death to hope?" thunders the 20th century. "Surrender, you pathetic dreamer.”

"No" replies the unhumbled optimist "You are only the present."
