Who remembers back to the 80´s on the group MARILLION???  

Hey thanks this is great you posting on here, 1 week and no respose i was wondering nobody has listen to them. I loved this kind of progressiv rock i know the UK have had some great arists on it. Thanks for mention these groups i don´t know all of them will have a look on them. I feel the same as you, since Fish had left i didn´t listen to them really, only bought one album with their new singer. But the solo albums from Fish are great specialy Sunset Of Empire is top. I have all of them old Marillion albums what is your favourite one???

They are all good but if you pushed me I would have to say Script...worth it for Forgotten Sons alone. Ahh those were the days.

Hi steerpyke,
yes forgotton sons is great and the Script For A Jester´s Tear is one of there best albums, to me the Marillion records with Fish are still worth listening now a days i love that style in progressiv music they created. Real To Reel is a marvelous live record that shows the groups stage skills.

good to see some one is still flying their flag.

Yes it´s somehow good your still into them and they sure have a lot of fans out there. I will listen to them albums you mention here the next time. Thanks for that mate, how about Fish´s solo work did you listen to some of it???

I have the first album..Vigil in a Wilderness of mirrors, which is excellent, i really should get around to picking the rest up.

I don´t have that one but if you say it´s excellent then i´m gonna get to hear it. I saw on Wikipedia how many solo albums Fish had made, he has plenty.

Thanks for your open opinion, yes i must say i didn´t listen them when Hogarth came in it was to much a break in their traditional style also the voice of Fish was really missing for me. I still though after listend to the solo albums Fish released, i like them. And today i still listen them ol´ Marillion records also brings back some good memorys on the 80´s.

I think maybe its the 'hormonal teen at heart' these days as most of the audience tend to be in their 30s and 40s!

LOL... well i haven´t seen their lately concerts so i have to believe you i guess.

Hi jamz, well sure i´m older then you and i listen to them in the 80´s when they had their best time. Yes i know the critics said so it´s like a Genesis copy & Fish sings like Peter Gabriel i don´t agree with that at all, that´s just if you listen to them superficial and you know how these critics can be.

I didn´t listen anymore to progressiv metall lately, i would say i prefer more progressiv in rock music. But i get to listen them you mention. It´s just i can´t listen for longer to metall music anymore, i don´t like really music that screams at me ..if you get what i mean.
Also my opinion is that a lot of groups say they are into progressiv but it´s just loud & agressiv that´s not really the deal in being progressiv in my view. Thanks for looking in Jamz.

I didn't know about that critics but I told you the first though about Marillion.
I know what you mean, you don't like music too aggressive like some metal bands. Pain of Salvation have lot of type of sounds but I don't think they're aggressive and their music isn't easy to label but is very close to progressive metal/rock. they don't play linear music for sure :D that's what I like about them. They opened lot of time Dream Theatre live. I think DT is a band that join more adult fans of prog rock 70's and new fans like teenagers of new rock and prog metal. For example a father of a friend of mine listen to Dream Theatre but he listen most prog bands 70-80's.

Thanks again jamz for your input, i will have a listen on them next days. As soon as i get to hear them i tell ya´ what i think on their music.

I was i big fan of them in the 80´s and still sometimes listen to the old records from that time, they were excelent. Also the solo albums from vocalist Fish are great.

Here are two videos to watch then you will see, songs are Assassing from the album Fugazzi 1984, 2nd is Script for A Jester´s Tear from the same album title 1983.
