Other naturally (Chelsea Monday wasn't on there). But everything Marillion did durin Fish-era was classy. Love Grendel and Forgotten Sons too.

Arduous to decide, although, I'd go with a maybe not so popular "The Web", considering not to appear on the poll's immediate choice, whereas Script for a Jester's Tear, Warm Wet Circles and Bitter Suite fall not so distantly behind.

Hard to narrow it down with some many great songs.  Favorites would have to include:  Assassing, Incubus, Fugazi, That Time of the Night, Incommunicado, White Russian...

Good stuff

'Script for a Jesters Tear'

Their best ever IMO. Closely followed by 'Incubus'
Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy!

Well, quite a turn out so far. It appears as of April 5, 2006 - the top five picks are:

1. Script For A Jester's Tear

2. That Time Of The Night

3. Fugazi

4. Grendel

5. Kayleigh (tied with Grendel)

Hmmmm.... I have always thought of "Jigsaw" (from FUGAZI) as a wonderful song.... it really touches the core of my heart. But I also think very highly of "The web" (from SCRIPT).

Since both songs are not on the "politically correct" list, I would chose "Emerald lies" (also from FUGAZI, and also not on the list)

All the best freaks are here!

1) Script For A Jester's Tear
2) Incommunicado
3) Grendel
4) Lavender
5) The Web
6) Heart Of Lothian
7) Kayleigh
8) Sugar Mice
9) Bitter Suite
10) Forgotten Sons

For some reason I've gone off Fugazi (Jigsaw's my favourite from there) of late ...

Goddam it ... sometimes even just hearing the name Marillion can send me back on an 80s daydream ... has it really been that long?

BTW, Marillion seems to be the only group I can think of (with any sort of length to their career ... ie more than three albums) where so many people think that the first song on the first album is their best ...

Never thought of it, but yes... this is true... and I guess it might be the main reason Marillion caught the proggers' attention since day one. A very carfully chosen track to start a career with (although it wasn't by any means the first one they wrote).

Too hard to choose!

But at the top would be: Script..., Freaks, He Knows You Know, Assassing, Fugazi.
