Aylesbury, England (1979 – present)
Marillion are a rock band formed in Aylesbury, England often categorized as neo-progressive. They originally started as “Silmarillion” (from Tolkien’s book) with heavy influences from classic Genesis but went on to develop their own distinctive sound. The band was formed in 1979 by Mick Pointer (drums), Steve Rothery (guitar), Doug ‘Rastus’ Irvine (bass), and others, soon adding vocalist Fish (real name Derek W. Dick), Diz Minitt (bass), and Brian Jelliman. By the time of their first album, 1983’s Script For A Jester’s Tear, the bass position had been taken over by Pete Trevawas and keyboards by Mark Kelly.
The studio albums Fugazi (1984), Misplaced Childhood (1985), and Clutching At Straws (1987), as well as the 1984 live album Real to Reel all sold respectably, and the band scored a hit single in Britain with
Kayleigh in 1985.
When Fish left the band in 1988 after four albums he was replaced by Steve Hogarth. A former member of The Europeans and some-time collaborator with The The and Julian Cope, Hogarth brought a new energy to the band.
Across a further ten albums, Hogarth – along with existing members Rothery, Kelly, Trewavas, and Mosley – have reinvigorated and constantly redefined Marillion’s sound. They forged into new musical territories with a succession of inventive, emotional albums, displaying little regard to the vagaries of hit charts or radio playlists.
After the release of 1999’s Marillion.com the band freed themselves from record company pressure once and for all by launching their own record label, the Intact imprint.

No one is better than the other, it's just one band making awesome music for open-minded people. True, Gazpacho is great, well Afraid of Sunlight is an amazing album that deserves more recognition.

Misplaced Childhoods, Script for a Jesters Tear, Bsides Themselves, Fugazi... Fish, how we miss you. If I, a long time fan, and one the few to see live back in the 80s was to pick were to start... I personally would start with the epic beginings... Grendal one the all time favs and amazing stage act, But any one going thourgh divorce or heart ache Misplaced Childhood... Misery loves company. But if you want more tranqual and soul inspiring listen to Seasons End, and then Brave... But this group is one that any start will lead you through a heap of emotions and great music.

@heman159: But be sure to buy the 2CD-Edition of Marbles or you'll miss »Ocean Cloud«, one of my favorites of the past ten Marillion-years.

You should start with Marbles or Brave I think. I started with Marbles and I fell in love after first listen;)

Usually, my advice is to start with Marbles (the 2 CDs edition), which is more accessible than Brave.

@herman159: Judging from your charts... "Brave", you should definitely start with "Brave" :)

no, this stuff is just more widely known, than other. i mean, also by people who don't usually listen to progressive rock. even my brother, who's into hiphop and techno, knows and loves misplaced childhood.

Kayleigh and Lavender being sooo much higher than everything else is really sad. "Misplaced" fans are just too narrow minded.

Really Liking Marillion.com and Anorak in the Uk right now. I don't really understand why Marillion.com is disliked so much by so many fans, it's full of great songs... "Rich" should have been a massive radio hit, "Go!" is absolutly gorgeous and "Interior lulu" is a great epic with a slighlty different feel...
