Marillion Albums Ranked

[@suedehead23]

This was such a great video! Firstly I appreciate you didn't have that Fish-era bias that a lot of people had, and you were so objective with all the albums. I personally prefer H's voice, style and albums so much more. Your list was great and you presented it really well - with really nice insight and objective thoughts on each album. I'm looking forward to seeing what else you have on your channel :)

[@richardgolub5297]

Steve Hogarth's emotive, beautiful, voice blows Fish out of the water. I also love the symphonic nature of Marillion...after Fish. I love both Marillion's but to me...the present line-up is my preferred.

[@brownale1000]

My favourite Clutching At Straws mate , but big fan of afraid of sunlight, cheers

[@indianscout4487]

I don't like to follow the crowd, but FISH is Marillion!!

[@rogerwaters3165]

A Script for a Jesters Tear and Fugazi are my favorite Marillion albums!

[@bradleystone2623]

Kudos for making 'Brave' #3 on your list. My personal fave.

[@garethpeters8375]

Thieving Magpie double live. My personal fave.

[@tj-di4we]

I agree 100% for AoS my absolute favourite album for 25 years now especially for the last 4 tracks as you mentioned. Maybe I would have switched Brave & Clutching at straws for the 2nd & 3rd place but for the rest I totally agree your ranking . Cheers from France (sorry for my poor english😅)

[@chrisjacklin9224]

Excellent review mate. I have just rediscovered the majestically magnificent band Marillion. I loved and still do the first 4 albums with Fish, each one a classic in its own right and subsequently followed Fish on his solo career. I remember back in the day buying Seasons end and Holidays in Eden and thinking wow this is different but still pretty good, then life got in the way and they dropped off my radar. Just done a 2 month tour of India and then a week in “jail” on returning home to Jakarta, Indonesia and I downloaded all the remaining albums on Spotify and basically have not been able to stop listening to them.... I am indeed mad with myself that I denied myself these magnificent albums over the past almost 30 years.... Hogarth lyrics and performance as a vocalist is nothing short of magnificent and the chemistry with the rest of the band is stunning. The textures and depths of lyric, keyboards, Rothery’s guitar and the bass/ drum support is a joy to behold!!! On the cusp of displacing my all time favorite band Blue Oyster Cult.... Agree Afraid of Sunlight, Marbles and Fear are superb albums, as is Seasons End and the classic first 4, I still love Script and indeed just watched an emotionally charged H singing this.... breathtaking. Need to absorb more of the other dozen or so offerings now.....

[@stephenhillier3522]

Thanks for that, always interesting to hear other's ratings. No point disagreeing, everyone who actually clicks on this will know there are 17 albums here that are all well worth listening to. Just to say, for me, the two I'd have to put close or at the top are Marbles (partly because it was the album that switched me back on to Marillion after a very long gap) and This Strange Engine. I hear what your saying about the style of that album, but I like the folkiness, and any album that starts with "Man of a Thousand Voices", ends with "This Strange Engine" and has "Estonia" somewhere in between has got to brilliant. You could just cut it down to those three tracks and it would still be a wonderful album (and I happen to like the other tracks too).

[@adamnewlyn7153]

Off to listen to the last 4 songs .... I quite liked Cannibal Surf Babe

[@jaywilson2018]

Me too I even like their acoustic version

[@swift2hear]

Hi everyone. I saw Marillion at the Apollo, Manchester. I don't think it was that long after Hogarth had joined. I was struck by the sound quality. I'm not sure I've ever seen a band where the concert sound was that good.

[@DaveTanner]

As a fan of the band since 82 I’ve gotta say anyone trying to do a list like this is very “brave” for me the list is pretty good and your top 3 would be mine also but the order would change daily 😂 great video 👍

[@RockersBeerReview]

Cheers thanks for the support! Yes it’s difficult as let’s face it all are great or at least have 2 or 3 really good tracks on

[@mgoulet002]

We share the same top two. Couldn't agree more about those two. IMO, the second half of AOS is the greatest album side in the rock era.

[@jaywilson2018]

It was always my fave album then two albums came along a few years later knocking down it to my 3rd best but I will always love the tracks AOSL and Out of this world

[@michaelbeaule1966]

Interesting list. Mine would be very different. After Marbles, they kind of lost me. But your list was very unpredictable and honest I respect that.

[@DCHurlford1]

For me best Fish era - Clutching At Straws, best Hogarth era - Afraid of Sunlight. They've always been a class band, superb musicianship.

[@geddyfish2947]

Quite interesting point of view.I am listening to Marillion songs from 80's.I grew up with their songs...I love "Afraid of Sunlight " album.It is in my top 3.Thanks for this video.Regards from Cracow.Poland.

[@steveblackbird3194]

Definitly Clutching at Straws as number one ! And then Fugazi and Misplaced Childhood. Special thumb up fo Marbles

[@gurgisjones1120]

Damn right about Clutching at #1, then Fugazi #2. Glad someone else got it right!

[@drink_with_the_dead]

@@gurgisjones1120 interesting..I'm on many of the fan boards, and it's not unusual at all to see those albums listed in those spots. Personally, they sound quite dated to me, and were not nearly as unique as what would come after them. I've seen Fish live on the Sunsets tour, and I appreciate him..But I just feel like they hadn't found themselves yet..and neither had he really.

[@cristianmicu]

MISPLACED CHILDHOOD IS A MASTERPIECE. for me this is the only album marillon should remain in rock history forever and be remembered as a group in eternity, if such a thing even exists, and this album, rightfully place marillon in history. it's a monumental album, as opposed to any other album of theirs

[@RockersBeerReview]

It’s a great album but when I listen to it today I think it hasn’t aged very well. It’s most people’s entry to Marillion in the 1980s so I think there is always a little nostalgia attached to it

[@cristianmicu]

i just dont wanna enter in replies here, but regarding your comment, in case you listen to all post 2000 bad music, anything and everything 80's aged incredibly well IMO

[@drink_with_the_dead]

@@cristianmicu I mean...quite subjective, sir. I agree with the comments in video.

[@JamesD8888]

Nice video, enjoyed watching it. I agree 100% with the albums you've listed in the bottom half of your list. Personally I'd have Misplaced Childhood, Seasons End and Holidays in Eden up at the top, but can understand why you and others would choose differently. Cheers!

[@jamesthousandkings5406]

Script so low! :-( To each their own. Nice to see a different #1 other than the usual Childhood, Clutching, Marbles or Brave. So where does the new album fit? It is quite strong, Top 10 at least in my books. Great video, thanks.

A Script for a Jesters Tear ... heard it and lyrics ..was like poetry to rock... ..more Fish and Hogarth okay...Clutching at Straws ..best Warm Wet Circles ...the stain your pint glass makes on the beer mat alone.

[@stewartchristie3408]

Sorry to disagree with you but I think Fugazzi is criminally underated. It's my favourite. Enjoyed your video. Thanks for posting 😊

[@richardgolub5297]

It would be awesome to have a poll with Marillion fans ranking each album. Each person ranking the albums in order and see which one comes out on top. Certain masterpieces will certainly rank high on everyone's list. I love both versions of Marillion but personally....the Steve Hogarth era is my favorite. The songs are more epic, symphonic, almost theatrical and that's where H's gorgeous voice shines through.

[@theturtleproject]

marillion are my fav band of all time, my fav album of theirs is which ever one i am listening to at the time

Split the two CDs from Happiness is the Road (which they did for retail release) and Essence is in my top 5 with Marbles and Fear whilst Hard Shoulder is close to the bottom with Somewhere Else.

Haha, for me it would be the opposite! Never could get into Essence while I quite enjoy The Hard Shoulder 😆

[@mrkitewine7700]

Thanks for this, I reckon this year’s An Hour Before It’s Dark is their finest since Clutching at Straws. No band has a right to produce such a fine album this far into their career, it is sublime.

[@fourseasons4105]

1. Clutching at straws 2. Fugazi 3. Misplaced childhood 4. Script for a jester's tear 5. Seasons end 6. Brave That's about it for me

[@RockersBeerReview]

You’ve got to give both marbles and FEAR some time as they are both great albums

[@maryelms5948]

Good Choices. You won't please everyone of course, but I agree that Afraid of Sunlight deserves to be at the top. It's "Out of this World".

[@rickcooper7475]

I love marillion and my favorite album is the script for a jester tear. Actually the band was formed in 1978 in Aylesbury UK with original drummer Mick pointer and bassist/original singer Doug irvine and he left in 1980 and the following year in 1981 fish joined the band and became the new singer in marillion.

[@lindsayscott4994]

Brave was my first albums bought too.

[@GeeVanderplas]

My favorite band! Always hard to do a ranking of the albums, I get obsessed with an album of theirs and then listen to it over and over until I get tired of it and then another becomes my favorite... but my top pick always remains (and I must be the only fan to rank this no 1!) Anoraknophobia. I just love that album, the songs, the vibe, the mix of pop, rock and atmospheric songs, everything works for me. Second would probably be Sounds That Can't Be Made, and then it becomes harder to rank. Brave, Marbles, Afraid Of Sunlight are all equally great.

Which Fish album is your favourite?

[@markbelluo8841]

Best song on each h album. Plz do that. Video

Caught them live at the Glasgow Garage back in April 1997 (warm up gig for This Strange Engine Tour). That was a good album as well.

[@mvwmark8955]

Only 13 or so minutes so had to watch this twice. Reason being, had to eliminate the thought that this was a complete wind up list. But came to conclusion, its definitely not. Respect your list there. Here is my list. 1. Clutching 2. Script 3. Misplaced 4. Fugazi 5. Seasons 6. Brave 7. Sunlight ....... then it all sort of turned to crap for a few years......, then heard "The Leavers" 8. Fear Slowly working through the others, but A LOT of filler and total nonsense. There is no filler on ANY Fish era Marillion album......., but, respect to all our opinions.

This is incredible! We do not agree at all in the order of some (Anorakphobia is better for me or This Strange Engine is top 5 and Brave the best) but we agree pleasantly on some things and I was surprised that in those details you think the same as me, like your favorites from Holidays they are Heart, Party and 100 nights, from Marbles invisible, Ocean, Neverland and fantastic place or that Clutching seems to you, by far the best of the Fish era. It is curious that in those things your opinion is nailed to mine but not in the order. Greetings! Thanks for the video! And in the end you talk about next is Rush!!!! My favorite band ever!!! After dinner I see the video!

[@RockersBeerReview]

But do we agree on Rush? Depends how much you like their 80s output!

[@Agg95Boss]

@@RockersBeerReview Hahahaha even less! But just like in this Marillion rankikg, we have some isolated opinions that are almost identical, like Between the Wheels is one of my favorite songs not only from Rush but of all time! And also that Moving Pictures is 3, but ... For me, although I love the 80s, Power Windows and Grace Under Pressure are not 2 and 1 for me, those are without a doubt Hemispheres and A Farewell To Kings . But Power Windows and Grace Under Pressure are in my top 10. Another thing that surprised me a lot is how badly you rank Hold Your Fire and Presto. For me, 10, 11 or 12 ...

Wow, I really respect your opinion, although my preferences would be in a very different order! I'd put Brave at #1, no question; other than that, I would have to do a lot of thinking. I'd probably put Fugazi somewhere above Misplaced Childhood, and Afraid of Sunlight would be somewhere below This Strange Engine.

[@kirkwoerner1107]

Agree mostly, but I am in the minority becuause love HITR. Beautiful songs on disc 1. Essence is a top 5 Marillion song. I don't get the hate..

[@RockersBeerReview]

It’s Marillion so we can’t hate band everyone likes something different - I just think there is too much over two discs and the could have trimmed it down. My preference is for the more rockier 2nd disc as I just think the first one is too laid back.

Listened to Neverland live at RAH. Yep - definitely need to give Marbles another shot. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@marcuscross8051]

Some of Marillion's music I really like, but because their music is so varied I don't think there's a single album that I really like all the way through. And sometimes, with their longer songs, there are even parts of songs that I skip through. The song This Strange Engine, I find the intro to be boringly plogging and the end to be a screaming mess, but the stuff in the middle to be wonderful. I've actually done my own audio edits of some of the longer songs to cut out the bits I don't like. The song Sounds That Can't Made, my version starts just before the synth solo as I find the first half to be dull but the 2nd half great. And yet, Gaza is one of the few long Marillion songs I feel happy to listen to all the way through.

[@jaywilson2018]

I personally don’t find This Strange Engine boring or a mess to me it works but I know what you mean about skipping some parts of songs, but when I see those overly long songs live it just works I prefer those skippable songs played live and feel there’s no need for any skipping apart from interior Lulu I wish Marillion would just skip that song completely

[@drink_with_the_dead]

Wait, wait, wait..so you will turn on TSE, and skip through parts of the song? Tge screaming at the end symbolizes the raw emotion of the piece. It's all meant to be there.

I have grown to love Marillion wouldn't like to rate them as it depends so much on my mood. I do love Brave especially the 5.1 mix, Marbles, Afraid of Sunlight is brilliant, Season's End, Sounds that Can't be made, FEAR. All of them are great though. Not so keen on Fish era, for me they were nothing more than a Genesis rip off, however, Misplaced Childhood showed a bit of promise but still too much like Genesis with Floyd touches but too derivative. Clutching at Straws showed more promise and the only one of that era I listen to quite a lot. Their first album especially sounds like Peter Gabriel era Genesis and single with Grendel is a Suppers Ready rip off, same time signatures and even a similar ending, it's just copying. H is a much better vocalist, emotional and original. Marillion for me are now a great band, possibly the best. The best thing that happened to them was Fish leaving.

[@RockersBeerReview]

@@RockersBeerReview I'm old and had been a big fan of Genesis, I remember buying Foxtrot, then Selling England by the Pound on release. So for me Fish era Marillion was just copying. I didn't get into them properly until Brave. My love has only really grown over the last few years. Now they're aren't many days go by without listening to at least one of their albums. If you'd have asked me twenty years ago, I wouldn't have thought they would ever become one of my favourite bands, how very different they are now. I really like Marillion.com and Anoraknophobia for the experimentation but Brave was the first album I loved. I've been listening to Happiness is the Road a lot lately, the more I listen to it, the more I'm loving it, usually play both parts together as one album, it works well that way. Lovely atmosphere on volume 1, followed by excitement on volume 2. Maybe, at the moment it's between Brave, Afraid of Sunlight, Marbles and FEAR which would be their best but I couldn't decide.

Script for a Jester's Tear (2CD ver with 19 minute long Grendel (Fair Deal Studio), their best song ever) 2. Fugazi 3. Misplaced Childhood 4. Clutching at Straws 5. Holidays in Eden (the most honest album with H, who's just a pop singer) 6. Seasons End (for the music) 7. Radiation (for the atmosphere) 8. Brave (cos you gotta be brave coming up with something like this) 9. Marbles (my gf likes it, that's all) 10. Anoraknophobia (for a brief guitar solo in Map of the World) and forget the rest

I'm a huge fan of Marillion/Fish era. You have to realise what each album did represented on their time, masterpiece misplaced childhood was consider one of the best albums by mídia in 1985 and one of the best concept albums ever. And then in 1987 Marillian came up with clutching at straws which I consider the best rock album ever. Unfortunately Fish left, Steve Hogarth joined Marillian but his vocals did not work for me. Saying that, I do not agree with that list at all. Top four albums are The script, Fugazi, misplaced and clutching, on that order. Marillian with Steve Hogarth sounds a kind of boring, sorry it's my opinion, no one cares, I know...

@@forestdad Rubbish, four musicians wrote the music, Fish only wrote the lyrics so they are Marillion. Fish was/is only a Peter Gabriel clone, without the imagination or quality.

I lost interest in checking your ranking as soon as you ranked 13th Marillion debut album Script for a Jester's Tear. The rest of the Fish era is also very low ranked. This is very disrespectful for such a great band in their origins. Unfortunately in all these bunch of years with Hogarth they have lost identity, personality and authenticity, they have had only flashes with some great songs of the great band they were back in their origins. Even their Marillion logo has lost its identity since the second album in the Hoghart era.
