Marillion.
I’m just listening to, and loving, Script For A Jesters Tear, for the first time in an age.
However, it occurs to me that I only have this and the equally brilliant, Misplaced Childhood.
What else could I be listening to by this most excellent band?

Re: Marillion.
Interesting question that will require some thought.

I hope plenty of Marillion fans come along to keep the thread high on the board.

Thank you . Yes, I’m hoping to hear from the BCB Marillion fans.
I know Neil Jung’s a fan.

I have the two you mention Richard plus Fugazi and Clutching at Straws
I am not a massive fan and the two aforementioned generally suffice although perhaps I would add one of the other two

I’ve heard Fugazi and remember not being that keen.
Thanks for the input.

Re: Marillion.
well depends on what you liked about Script For A Jesters Tear and Misplaced Childhood (both excellent albums). If its the vocals then go with the next one(one of my favorites) Clutching at Straws or the live one of this album. After that album exits Fish and in comes Steve Hogarth on vocals. Like Genesis the fans of Marillion have this divide between sings. I like H (steve's nickname) just as much as Fish so it never bothered me.
The H era good albums are :
Brave
Afraid of Sunlight
Marbles(my favorite H album)
try some live Marillion from this era.
what you thought I wouldn't have pictures.
Fish solo

Re: Marillion.
There is a clear separation between the Fish-era albums and the Steve Hogarth-ones...
With Misplaced and Script you have got the best two of the Fish-era albums. Fugazi, the one inbetween is a bit more uneven but good, the one I would go for is Clutching At Straws which does show the transition to more song-based material rather than the long stretches of prog.
Hogarth took the band to more what I call symphonic levels, more slower tracks that leaned heavier on keyboards and arrangements. The early albums like Holidays In Eden and Brave (a concept album) are very good. I do like the course the band is taking with a more mellower, less rocking sound and dig albums like Afraid Of Sunlight, Marbles, This Strange Engine and Somewhere Else...although with their last album, FEAR they have overshot their intent.

Yes I agree with this. I like FEAR also but you can see its an angry album about the current state of affairs, I'll bet the next one goes back to the last few.

Re: Marillion.
All the Fish-era ones are worth having.
Hogarth era is much more hit and miss. Afraid of Sunlight and Marbles (2CD version) are the best. I also really like the first one Season's End which is closest in feel to Fish-era.
Ones to avoid are Somewhere Else (very poor) and Happiness is the Road (completely forgettable tedium and 2CDs worth of it!). All the other others albums are uneven but include good stuff too. They can get a little dull and one-paced at times which they never did during the Fish-era.

Re: Marillion.
I’ve actually seen Fish lauded as a lyrical genius elsewhere on the internet. I took an instant dislike to their poor man's Genesis nonsense early on so so I had never heard a full album by the Fish-era band or anything at all afterwards.
There was a possibility recently that I was going to interview Fish about a piece of hifi gear he has recently endorsed - he lives about half a dozen miles down the road from me - so I thought I had better give Misplaced Childhood and Clutching At Straws a listen and I still couldnt get through them. The interview didn’t come off which is probably just as well.
