what is best marillion song ever?

I've been listening to discog, it hit or miss, what is two or three songs that if u don't like it then u don't like marilluon. I so far think Neverland is best, everything else is so so. Hell me out

 

Kayleigh
Lavender's Blue

 

For me it's Childhood's End.

 

Sugarmice
Easter

 

Afraid of Sunlight
This Strange Engine

 

Kayleigh
Script for a Jesters Tear.

 

Script For A Jester's Tear (from the album Script For A Jester's Tear)
Warm Wet Circles (from Clutching At Straws)
Lavender (from Misplaced Childhood)
Assasssing (from Fugazi)

 

Assassing

 

I just discovered Marillion, guys. Let's hear these suggestions!

 

Easter

 

My suggestion is to start with 1985's Misplaced Childhood. I think its their best work.

 

Agree. And I would say Script for a Jesters Tear would be a good second disc to get. A lot of people compare this disc to Genesis. So if you don't like Genesis you may not like it.

 

I have. I love it.

It's hilarious, because I've been a major Dream Theater fan for several years and their work just OOZES Marillion love. When I first heard Misplaced Childhood I thought "this sound just like 1992 Dream Theater!"

I then had to slap myself and remind myself that DT copied Marillion, not the other way around, lol. Even their early album art is very Marillion.

 

I like how Pseudo-Silk Kimono and Kayleigh are linked at the start of Misplaced Childhood. Much better than listening to Kayleigh as a separate single.
And I think Incommunicado sounds remarkably like early-70's Who. One of my fave Marillion songs.

 

Script For A Jester's Tear

 

Man, do I love Misplaced Childhood.

 

Incubus.

 

"Kayleigh" for sure, followed by "Lavender." But Misplaced Childhood as a whole is just a perfect album.

I'm no expert on the Hogarth era as I've only heard the first two albums with him, but I do like the song "No One Can" (or as it's called on the US version, "No One Can Take You Away From Me")."Hooks In You" is good, too.

 

In addition to the classic Kayleigh, Lavender, Warm wet circles, sugar mice, etc, I would check Afraid of Sunlight, Out of this world, This strange engine, Under the sun, The invisible man, Ocean cloud, Neverland... It is impossible to pick only one!

I think the best way to get into Marillion is by record. Best albums probably Misplaced and Clutching from the Fish period, and Brave, Afraid of Sunlight and Marbles from the Hoghart one.

 

Latter day Marillion's best song is IMHO The Invisible Man. I love the studio version on Marbles but by jolly, live it is a monster. Like this live recording where was in the audience and the atmosphere was amazing:

 

This Strange Engine.
Neverland.
The Invisible Man.
Sugar Mice.
Heart of Lothian.

 

..and, if anyone if looking to get into this marvelous band.....Listen to the 'Afraid of Sundlight' album. As a collection of songs it is masterful.

 

Lavender
Lothian
& the one that goes "where are the prophets"

 

This. Strange. Engine.
