Hey guys, I thought I'd look deeper into Marillion, since this seems to be one of Dan's major influences. Would be nice to hear some more of this band that I've heard so much about. Which song/album should I start with?
Marillion recommendations?
- Thread starter Nefilim
- Start date
I asked Dan the same question in the chat last week and he said Seasons End is one of the top 3 most influential albums of his life.

The other two were Death's Leprosy and Genesis's Selling England By The Pound...the man has good taste. My favorite Marillion albums are Fugazi and Clutching At Straws.
Yeah that's right, I remember it from the chat now 
Selling England by the pound is an awesome album!

I got into Marillion only a few years back when Dan's lovely wife Åsa placed Script for a Jester's Tear as number one on her best albums of the millennium list (when she was writing for Close-Up Magazine, swedens biggest rock/metal mag)...I knew right away I just had to get that album. If Åsa Swanö thinks an album is great, it IS! I always trusted her judgement in Close-Up and she didn't mislead me once

Get off my putty bastard!
Most mariilion is at least good (except for some of their more recent albums), my favorite Hogarth era albums are Brave and Afraid of Sunlight, my favorite Fish era albums are Scirpt of a Jester's Tear and Clutching at Straws.

Cool, I too always trusted Åsas opinion when she was writing for Close-Up! Must have missed this recommendation though, glad to hear about it!
Thanks,

I picked up Script for a Jesters Tear today I hope Åsa's recommendation will open my eyes for this band!

Yeah, Seasons End will probably be my next purchase with this awesome band! I've only had "Script..." for less than a week but I'm already spellbound by it! Damn, I both love and hate discovering great stuff like this! I hate it, because I should have discovered it much earlier on, and I love it, because it's always great to find such an awesome band!
