| Regardless of the fact that Queen's discography is only vaguely imprented on my mind I consider it fairly safe to assume that they made more than four (4) great albums. |

Marillion, for both, their neo-prog period and their more "crossover prog" period.
Queen was a very talented band, even prog at times, but I was never fond of them.

Queen's really under-appreciated here. Marilliion had a run of four pretty great albums, but Queen did it for longer than that. Night/Day album duo really is a fine legacy just by itself. ------------- "One had to be a Newton to notice that the moon is falling, when everyone sees that it doesn't fall. " |

only on a prog site can Marillion compet and get even with one of the mastodonts of rock, that is Queen.
both bands are over generally good, i think Marillion learnd more tricks from Queen then vica versa

The question is not, who influenced who, but who you like more. I like Fish-era Marillion more than anything from Queen. |

Queen. No question. I've been in love with them since I was a little kid
and still I'm faithful. I own their whole discography (but the last
studio album with Paul Rodgers but it's not really Queen).

Queen was simply a better band, and only on this website would a derivative group like Marillion be in the same discussion. The three consecutive albums Queen II, Sheer Heart Attack and A Night at the Opera are simply amazing.

Another completely random chosen (bands) poll; why compare these two bands that have nothing in common? I've voted for Marillion.

Posted By: Logan
Date Posted: March 27 2011 at 11:53
I really disagree that they have nothing in common. Why do you believe so? By the way, I wonder how a Queen cover of this Marillion track would've sounded. |

^ they have nothing in common musically. I've heard they toured together in the 80s, what do they have in common musically?

Posted By: Logan
Date Posted: March 27 2011 at 12:18
I was thinking musically -- just added that video in an edit as an afterthought. I think it helps to show that they can appeal to the same kind of audience, though. And I figured Queen might have been an infleunce on marillion music I'd say they have both made similar styled music,. Both can be very dramatic, both have made AOR, Arena rockish music. To me the music is not worlds apart. And both have made proggy music. Id say they're 'more similar than other music in the archives, say comparing Marillion with Univers Zero. |

MArillion and Queen have played at gigs together, not just that one, which to me indicates that the music appeals to similar audiences. I had not read that Queen was influenced by Marillion, just my impression, but looking up wkipedia just now, which I know is not the most reliable resource, it mentions Queen being an influence: "The early works of Marillion contained Fish's poetic and introspective lyrics melded with a complex and subtle musical tapestry to create a sound that reflected the band's influences, notably http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_%28band%29" rel="nofollow - Queen , early http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genesis_%28band%29" rel="nofollow - Genesis , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink_Floyd" rel="nofollow - Pink Floyd , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Graaf_Generator" rel="nofollow - Van der Graaf Generator , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_%28band%29" rel="nofollow - Rush (specifically from the late 1970s), and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_%28band%29" rel="nofollow - Yes . Marillion's first recording was a demo tape produced by Les Payne in July 1981 that included early versions of "He Knows You Know", "Garden Party", and "Charting the Single". I'm not sure why you don't at least consider Marillion AORish. I could see both bands have albums reviewed in a melodic rock/ AOR website. |

I do not hear Queen influences in Marillion's music. Or Rush influences
