RE: Alternative Weekend: More Marillion

23 days ago

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

Marillion is one of my absolute favorite bands, and Fish is my favorite lyricist (or obscure Scottish poet, as he would have it).

Misplaced Childhood was definitely their best album, and it's the "easiest" to listen to. Hotel Hobbies is a bit of a downer with the intense focus on alcoholism, but still a pleasant listen for a rainy day. Fugazi, Market Square Heros, and the other mini-releases are a bit rougher both vocally and musically, but still have some uniquely awesome qualities. Fugazi and Emerald Lies are two of my favs from Fugazi, both lyrically and the grandeur of the sound (some might even say grandiosity). I also like some of the songs from Fish's solo albums too: my favorite is his first, "Vigil in a Wilderness of Mirrors", although it takes a few listens to get over missing the "marillion" sound.

Now I just need to get you interested in Urban Exploring as well as Fish.. 😃..

Fugazi has well and truly sunk in now, and with you mentioning Emerald Lies, I will go ahead and try that one. I haven't tried his solo material but have been listening to some of his live shows recently (in those very small venues probably in deepest Scotland). His voice has cracked and gone, but the audience still adore him.

Misplaced Childhood, wonderful.., a masterpiece... after all the prog bands of the 70's had more or less disappeared, they did this.

I think it was in my freshman year in college, my roommate got misplaced childhood, then we ended up picking up a bunch of their albums and EPs over the next couple of years. I even had a couple of their posters because I really liked the album art work (maybe a bit garish for some people, but I tend to like bright colors).

Lucky you to have geeky roommates. I dare not tell my 'friends' at that age what I was into, for fear of being weird.., though I did try once. That memory is etched into my mind.

The artwork is great but fell off after 'Misplaced Childhood'.
