I'm just starting to get into Marillion and I'm really enjoying them so far.
I can't deny the Genesis vibes I'm getting from the albums I've checked out so far (Fugazi & Misplaced Childhood) but I'm ok with that!
After doing some research it looks like Marillion is divided in a similar way as Genesis was with the Gabriel / Collins eras, so I'm curious to know if both sides of Marillion are worth checking out. Lemme know which side you are on, and more importantly.. why?
Nice! I would go for Fish, and looking at the albums that top BEA I think I'm not the only one. I am not like the core fans which stopped listening to Marillion after Fish left (I wasn't born at the time anyway :P) but I prefer his voice and find the music and lyrics of those albums more cohesive and different, even if they have some Genesis vibes. Also they were able to become a well known prog rock band in the 80's when prog was almost dead thanks to fusing a little with the general attitude and sound in that moment. However Hogarth's era shouldn't be ignored; I enjoy albums like Marbles or Sounds that can't be made even if their sound with Hogarth is more a standard pop-rock (sometimes sounding like U2) with some prog every now and then.
