Your Top 50 Marillion songs

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Here's a bit of a challenge (this one is only for the true Marillion fans on the forum): Give us your top 50 songs by the band! All studio albums, singles, EPs and compilations count, no live recordings though.
This one struck me while I was listening to the magical live rendition of 'Be Hard on Yourself', posted recently on the band's YouTube channel, check this one out if you haven't already, it elevates the song even more.

I will certainly be reading all of the subsequent posts, so take your time and eventually I hope you will have some fun compiling this exhaustive, I dare call it, list of songs. 
So, in light of the upcoming new album by this fabulous band, here's mine:

1.    The Space… (‘Seasons End’, 1989)
2.    Go! (‘marillion.com’, 1999)
3.    El Dorado (‘F E A R’, 2016)

	Blimey! Not the sort of list to contemplate when there is an afternoon of rugby on. Leave it with me a couple of days. This is the sort of list which needs to be done in an extended tea break at work!

	Love your list, Cristi. Seems like the Fish-era is much more prominent in yours than mine. I will be waiting to see lazland's take on the topic.

	Good heavens! Either I'm not a true Marillion fan or I'm just too lazy, but I'm not going to invest my time in compiling such a list. There are too many good songs and it would be a helluvajob to decently rank them... But it is nice reading the lists.
