Come on then... By errm... 'demand'... Pick 3 favorite marillion albums. ;D

Studio albums only, here we go then!

Just to be really boring and predictable i'll go for three of the first four, Script for a jesters tear, misplaced childhood and clutching at straws. Yes thats right, Fish era Marillion for me!

That WAS boring!  :D

I voted for three Hogarth albums... That would make me hilariously entertaining and surprising!?? ;D

Aw...bu__er, thought I only had one choice. Went for Script. Would have added Clutching & Season's End  ;D

Difficult. Script and Brave were easy, but the third...?
Chose Seasons End eventually, but it coulod have been Clutching as wel...

Script, Childhood and Clutching here, definitely!

Clutching, SE, and Brave.  8)

I only got 2 albums, but misplaced childhood is my fav.
(Also in general one of my fav. albums.)

Brave 
Marbles 
Clutching At Straws
:)


(that was a difficult choice btw...)

For me Script For A Jester's Tear
            Misplaces Childhood
            Marbels

So both Marillion era for me  ;)

For me Season's End is the best one. Easter is one of my favourite songs in music history ...

Mine are Misplaced, Seasons End and Brave, Clutching comes close as does Marbles.

Still love them !  :-*

Heey Keyboardistmatt, You finaly did it, didn't knew people would listen to me, it's funny You're the first one who did, I thank You! By the way I voted Brave, Afraid of Sunlight and Radiation. I also thank You because I was tired of the conversation to split up Marillion in different albums now You did it for me, I already have enough bands in my poll don't need 10 extra Marillion choices. So lot's of thanks from me that You started this poll!!!

No problem at all! :)

I, too, divide Marillion into the "Fish" era and the "H" era.  I must admit that I like the Fish era better.  The lyrics seemed to be better, if a little obscure, while the "H" era lyrics are a little simple.

Fugazi is my favourite, with Script and Clutching following closely behind.

At first I was very reluctant to embrace the Hogarth era, but Hogweed has opened me up to the post-Fish albums and I find that I do like quite a lot of the material.  However I have to say that the Fish albums are better in the studio, where as Hogarth-era material sounds better performed live.  Brave Live is a good example here, though I am mindful that the poll is only concerned with studio albums.

All in random order, my fav. albums are Brave, Marbles and Misplaced Childhood.
Brave becourse of the story, Marbles becourse it is merely genius, and Misplaced Childhood becourse this was the very first time i actually bought a symphonic rock album. Soon Pendragon and Pallas would follow...

MAD.  8)

So You do like an album of the Hogarth Era, 1989 - Season's End, but You were afraid to tell well I voted 3 Hogarth Albums, but I also like the Fish Albums but yes You can only choose 3 albums.

I just started to realize that You forgot Besides Themselves Album from 1988, with Marillions debut single Market Square Hero's, the brilliant but sadly always ignored song named Grendel, other nice songs as Cinderella Search and Lady Nina.

'B-Sides Themselves' was a compilation album...  "Grendel" was on the 12" "Market Square Heroes" single.

That's why I didn't put them on.  ...Studio albums only! ;)

.... you took the words right out of my mouth.... (Meat Loaf docet...  ;) )

...same choices for me....

I've voted on the first and the last two.
Because those are the only ones I've heard from Marillion.

How is the album 'Brave'?
Is it any good?

Which of the Marillion albums is the most Arena-like album?
And I don't mean Songs.../Pride era, I mean Visitor/Immortal/Contagion era.

Brave is generally regarded as one of (if not the) best albums of the 'H' era...

It is a great album, though! :)

To me I think Immortal album I hear some recognizable things with Marillion, maybe with the album Seasons End (maybe Brave as well) of Marillion (first H album). I think Fugazi and Script for a Jesters Tear do think about Pride and Songs from the Lions Cage. (But You're not interested in that). To me I look at it a bit different, I allready knew Marillion since Seasons end came out in 1989, and the first Arena album I heard was Immortal.

Again I have to agree with this.  The H era albums are hard to listen to if you have gotten used to Marillion with Fish.

Don't want to start a Fish vs H debate - there's enough of that on the Marillion forum. I love both eras of Marillion, having been a fan for 22 years! But if I had to choose between them, I would choose H.

My favourite albums change on an almost daily basis, but at the moment I would say Marbles, Afraid of Sunlight and Seasons End.

I like 'Marbles' as well.  There are things going on in that album that Marillion haven't done before, which is really super. :)
