This is Genesis starting when Marillion started, who apparently sounded a lot like Genesis in their early days. Genesis was no longer what they once were. So Genesis at "Duke" and the beginning of Marillion.

I'll take the genuine thing, even if it is popped up a bit, over Marillion any day. -------------

Genesis. For what they did in the '70's and early eighties. Marillion is good too, but compared to Genesis it's Second League to me. Still, I admire their progressive attitude since Brave. |

Marillion any day. Foxtrot vs Script For a Jester's tear, really no contest, script wins Everything from Genesis after the Lamb is really no match for our winner. marillion owns Genesis.

LATE Genesis only?? Then Marillion gets my vote, no question. I think Duke was an excellent album by Genesis, but it was the only 'excellent' album they produced in the 80's IMO. Marillion produced two excellent albums (Script & Fugazi) and few 'very good' ones (Misplaced C, & CAS) ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

This poll can't be serious. We're talking about the master vs. the apprentice. It's true the master was eventually lured to the dark side, but so was the apprentice. ------------- "Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin |

Yeah, but Hogarth blows bovine appendage, so Marillion sux harder. ------------- "Progressive rock is the key to the continuance of human evolution." - Charles Darwin |

Oh, okay, LATE Genesis vs. Marillion. Sorry, I should the intro to the threads better before I start replying. I'm extremely irritating these days. Except for the magnificent Three Sides Live Album my answer would be: Marillion. They beat Genesis after 1983. But I listen to both, even later Genesis, which has it's moments from time to time. |

Addendum: If we're going to go off the author's topic and include any Genesis from 1972- & nbsp; 1977,then it's Genesis easily. ------------- Out in the garden the moon looks very bright. |

Marillion by a mile. Only Duke and ATTWT were reasonable late Genesis albums (3 stars each), whereas Marillion scored several 4-5 star albums. |

In my opinion , only "Invisible touch" and "Genesis" are worse then the BEST Marillion-album which, IMO, is "Script...". Genesis is Genesis, so I voted Genesis |

I'm not a fan of either band, but I voted Genesis because they are the original - without them there wouldn't have been any Marillion. Obviously, Marillion's early output is vastly superior to anything Genesis did from the early '80s onwards, but one cannot forget the difference between the master and the apprentice, as Kirklott wonderfully put it. |

Genesis I guess  Marillion lost a lot with Hogarth, they became a
completely diferent band - they should have changed their name, at least you wouldnt except things to be the same, while Genesis was the same band with a sound that progressed (not that good progression) ... Yeah Genesis |

| Never forget Marillion would never have existed without Genesis. Actually the first times I heard Marillion I thought it was a new group led by Peter Gabriel, which accounted for the almost Genesis rip-off quality of the first Marillion records (even more so Grendel or Market Square Heroes in the previous EPs) and the weird cover up name the vocalist had (Fish). It was good to have a Genesis ver. 2.0 as I missed them in the 80's. I always had quite a laugh when reading how much it irritated the Fish-version of Marillion to be compared to Genesis, I mean how the heck could they deny it!? Listeners all over the world aren't stupid. I still enjoy Marillion up till today, great material. |

I have to say, that if it's late Genesis vs. early Marillion, early Marillion is the winner hands down. I love Duke, like Abacab, love the first side of Shapes, like Domino off of IT, and like DTLS and Fading Lights off of WCD; I did really like Calling All Stations, even if it did sound like a cross between Bankstatement and Mike and the Mechanics. On the other hand, I love Script and Fugazi, and CAS ranks as one of my favorite all-time albums. MC was o.k. I liked some parts of it. And Hogarth-era Marillion was good too up through TSE. Overall, I would say that Marillion was producing far superior work in the 80's than Genesis. Of course, early Genesis vs. early Marillion would be a whole different ballgame. My vote goes to Marillion.
