In my opinion, no Marillion album can beat the debut. Awesome. |

Script by miles. Genesis sold out so we had to go with Script or keep buying Eloy albums.

Another vote for Script. As a matter of fact, Misplaced Childhood is my least favourite of Fish-era Marillion - as my review of it makes it quite clear .

A good run of four consistently good albums. Real to Reel was a great live album too!
Script gets my vote. It's a brilliant debut. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Definitely Script ..... it's the only one I really liked, to be honest.

If I were being purely nostalgic, I would plump for Script, but I do genuinely think that Misplaced is a modern classic, and an album which brought prog to a great many people in the UK especially, simply because of Kayleigh & Lavender - proof again that commercial does not equate to bad. Script was a stunning debut from a band who had actually being playing live very well for quite some time prior to its release - I first saw them in London when Market Square Heroes was released, but I do think that the narrative, playing, production, and general mass appeal of Misplaced sets it apart from many other 1980's albums. ------------- Enhance your life.

Clutching at Straws, hands down. It's in my top ten of any artist.

| As much as I love Clutching At Straws, nothing matched the impact of Script For A Jesterīs Tear in my life in the 80īs. It started a whole new genre (and brought prog back into the limelight again!). |

100% Script. Befor script released i think Progressive reach to end of the line. Genesis enter to pop zone slowly and it happened to many of Prog bands or bands had no new ideas. When "Scripts......" released i shocked and wondered. This album have special mean for me and i love all songs in it. I think Script is important and show start point of Neo-Prog. Fish born in this album. His voice is very close to "Phil Colins" and he mix that with Hard rock and Heavy Metal influences. Keyboard and guitar one-two ( like football) is amazing and instrumental part of songs is very powerful and magnificent.
I love all of Fish era albums of marillion but Script is my choice.

That's an interesting statement Omid, because most people at the time, certainly music journalists, dismissed him as a Gabriel clone. Having said that, there are still a great many people who don't realise that Phil sang vocals on For Absent Friends - his voice was quite remarkably like Gabriel's. ------------- Enhance your life.

I bought all 4 albums on cassete last year from a vendor at a nearby flea market, and they all the tapes were warped from poor storage. Last time I will buy something from that guy. Because of this, I haven't heard all these albums in their entirety. I don't own a functioning copy of Clutching At Straws, but I have since purchased Fugazi and Misplaced Childhood on vinyl at the same flea market (from a different seller ), and my brother owns Script on vinyl. As I've only heard these albums one or two times each (don't have a record player where I currently live), I won't vote. |

My preference goes to Fugazi. I don't like Scripts too much. Recycling a guitar riff from Grendel is immoral, too. For me the best thing of Fish era is the live version of Forgotten Sons on Real to Reel. |

These albums have some noticeable similarities in pairs - Script... and Fugazi sound slightly different than ...Childhood and ...Straws, though all were made during relatively short time period.
Anyway - all of them are great and none is my favourite.
Steve H. didn't even approach this Great Four with any later Marillion albums.

No - the vast majority of them, with the possible exception of Holidays in Eden & Anaraknophobia, were a damn sight better  ------------- Enhance your life. Get down to www.lazland.org Now also broadcasting on www.progzilla.com Every Saturday, 4.00 p.m. UK time! |

| As I said in my Misplaced Childhood review, it's the only Marillion album I would consider on equal caliber with Pink Floyd's ''The Wall'', which for me is saying quite a lot. |

Misplaced Childhood, followed very closely by Clutching at Straws. I think MC is simply the band's masterpiece (including H-era), and I probably listen to CaS more than any other Marillion disc ... perhaps because of my affinity for the pint. ------------- There is no childhood's end ... -Fish |
