I like Fish-era Marillion,and love Script for a Jesters Tear. The only Hogarth era album I really dig is Brave -------------  |

| I'm not a fan of neo prog nor of Marillion. Their first record is OK, but IMHO the rest are pretty boring (with the exception of Real to Reel, a good live.) |

"Script..." - a masterpiece. Followed by "Fugazi", "Misplaced Childhood", "Marbles" and "Brave". |

| I only own two, so I can't really make an informed decision. Out of those I'd say Misplaced Childhood. |

I choose Marbles but I like brave as much as there last one... ------------- "-Mr Fripp, your music is quite different than everything else out there... In one word, how'd you describe it? -Progressive... yeah... that's it" |

| It has to be Clutching At Straws, although Script runs it close. After these I would choose Afraid Of Sunlight or Marbles. |

Script for me ... the greatest album not just by Marillion, but all of neo-prog ... ------------- "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." |

Misplaced Childhood or Clutching at Straws are Marillions known true gems , close following are Script For A jesters tear (featured Mick pointer on drums who is half the drummer mosley is, though later Hogarth Marillion under uses Ian Mosley`s talents I feel) Brave is also very good (though I hate to admit it)  Fish era was great ..some people prefer hogarth but for me its Fish all the way he was much more expressive and charismatic Hogarth is kinda boring , I was very devastated when Fish left marillion !

my introduction to marillion was "misplaced childhood", which instantly blew my away on the first listen. i also like "seasons end" from hogarth era. "script...", however, is still the best marillion album for me.  ------------- i don't think anybody steals anything; all of us borrow. - b.b. king |

Voted 'Script..' I'm surprised Fugazi hasn't got many votes. I thought it was generally regarded as better than 'Misplaced Childhood' ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Fantastic all Fish's era albums, Marbles was a great disappointment! I went with Misplaced, but could have choosen for different reasons each of other first four |

I agree. I like Script more, but voted (bit strategic) for Fugazi, since it deserves a better place than only 3 votes.

I love all the Marillion albums, more or less. For me the only disappointments are Holidays in Eden (too commercial) and Radiation (the quality of the song writing dropped on that one). Personally I find Script to be the least favourite of Fish-era, but it's still good. Misplaced Childhood will always remain my favourite Marillion album, because all the potential of the band crystallized on it. I'm also a big admirer of Fugazi and some Hogarth-era albums, such as Seasons End, Afraid of Sunlight, This Strange Engine, marillion.com and Marbles, even though they lack the strength of Fish-era efforts. Marillion made the best albums of the 80's! ------------- "Make tea, not love" |

Ah, but the question is favorite marillion lp...not favorite Marillion prog lp. Personally I think much of it is prog minus Kayleigh, and Lavender. How can one hear Bitter Suite, Hearts Of Lothian and Blind Curve and say they're not progressive or at least neo-progressive? |

Did I say MC was prog? But if you INSIST... MC is actually prog, and very good prog too MC = (Wow, I find myself defending MC, while Marillion's not even one of my favourite bands |
I just said it was candidate for the best Marillion album

I prefer the Steve Hogarth era stuff, and i've said it before but will say it one more time for any non-anoraks BRAVE is the best Marillion album EVER!!!..... ------------- "And so as I patrol in the valley of the shadow of the tricolour I must fear evil for I am but mortal and mortals can only die." |

I love the Fish era... To me, CLUTCHING is the best album made by Marillion and in some way, the peak of the 80's neo prog... with Hoggarth, I choose BRAVE and AFRAID OF SUN LIGHT but I keep my vote for CLUTCHING and specially for the Fish era... ------------- ... E N E L B U N K E R... |
