1. Script For a Jester's Tear - MASTERPIECE!!! 2. Fugazi - has higher points and lower points, and is still a masterpiece. 3. Misplaced Childhood - even more musically inconsistent than Fugazi, but deeply emotionally moving. Not quite a masterpiece, but very good indeed. 4. Brave. 5. Marbles.

As for the rest, I borrowed some other albums and they dindn't impress me much. Should I have a go at Marbles if I liked Brave, anyone? |

1. Script For A Jester's Tear 2. Fugazi 3. Misplaced Childhood 4. Clutching At Straws What can I say? They progressively got worse. All these are very good to great, however...I bought Season's End, was unimpressed and never explored the Hogarth era any further. |

Agreed wholeheartedly. "Dry Land" and "100 Nights" are among the finest songs the band has ever recorded. -------------

In my humble opinion, the ranking of Marillion
albums is: 1. Anorak In The UK Live (2 CD version) 2. Afraid Of Sunlight (brilliant concept and more concise than Brave) 3. Clutching At Straws (great idea and well executed lyrically and musically-fave Fish era Marillion) 4. Anoraknophobia (contains many of my favorite Marillion songs) 5. Marbles (2 CD version) (lovely album though a bit sedate-Ocean Rower and other songs rank very highly though) 6. This Strange Engine (title track plus others are great-wish they hadn't included Message Of Love though, sounds like an "In Your Eyes" ripoff) 7. Script For A Jesters Tear (fantastic debut though can't get into "The Web") 8. Brave (I've tried hard to get into this album. There are some fantastic songs, but also lots of droning parts that seem pointless) 9. Misplaced Childhood (strong beginning and ending but again, a bit too much droning in the middle) 10. Fugazi (Fond memories of this album though I don't have it anymore and haven't listened to it in years). The others kind of blend together, though I would personally place Holidays In Eden down towards the bottom of my list. |

Clutching at Straws is the best for me. Wonderful writing, and an incredibly cohesive concept album. ------------- "Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin |

Oh Anorak In The Uk is by far the best live album it captures the live atmosphere at the shows!

My words exactly. Except that I am still exploring the Hogarth albums, of which only "Brave" and "Marbles" even begin to hold a candle to "Script..." IMO.
