Hey y'all!

Happy new year! To start off 2025, I'm really in the mood to hear a Marillion album. I have just been gifted the new Deluxe Edition of This Strange Engine. And, we already have Marbles, Brave, and With Friends from the Orchestra on the master list. So, this time, help me select from one of these four albums from this deserving band.

Soooo looking forward to this. The best band on the planet.

George Davis-Stewart

Happy New Year to you all. I fear this band is not my vintage or style, so I will leave you to it.

PETER SALTER

Finally a Hogarth era EPL, I can't wait 😁

Ralph Darvill

As I have managed to familiarise myself well with the Hogarth-era albums over the past few years I'm keen to fill one major hole from it by hearing "Marbles".

Nick

Strange to me that Marbles isn't ahead - I've always regarded it as their masterpiece. If Brave wins, there's a decision for Doug to make: original mix or Steven Wilson remix?

Philip Briddon

Much as I would love to see your reaction to the epic title track of 'This Strange Engine' there can only really be one winner here - 'Brave', one of the greatest, most underrated Prog albums of all time, by anyone.

Christopher Arters (relative timeworx - Mr.A)

Much love for This Strange Engine - but Brave is this band's EPIC. While I find all of the band's output to be upper echelon, the string of Brave | Afraid of Sunlight | This Strange Engine ranks among the great three album runs of all time. With Brave, Marillion firmly establishes themselves as seeking something bigger, artistically speaking. Eschewing any commercial-by-design formats and some would say, condemning themselves to the cult following sidelines. What would spell doom for most acts propelled Marillion to creative masterpieces both recorded, and business-wise to survive. They became pioneers of crowd funding; They created legendary Marillion Weekends - leveraging the power of the fanbase with a sort of micro-marketing - and they survived and thrived. FWIW - IMHO Marillion's strongest album, track for track, may well be Afraid Of Sunlight.

Brave shocked a lot of us when it came out. A complete 180 from anything else. A dark masterpiece.

Since we're not doing the Fish era this time, I'm not gonna say what I was gonna say. But I do still think that there's one album that jumped at me by its absence: Afraid of Sunlight.

Karl Stubsjoen

Happy New Year! My money is on Marbles. A fantastic album by Marillion 😎

Adie

Very glad this is being done. However, I am completely unfamiliar with all these albums, and knowing the fans of Marilion to be the best collection of fans there are, I'm happy to let the cognoscenti decide. 🙂

Claudio Fernandes

I love prog, although I can't stand Marillion. Tried to get into the band a few times, unsuccessfully.

Andrew Marsh

I am more familiar with Marbles. Not much on Brave. Voted for Marbles but if Brave wins (looks like it will) it'll give me a chance to listen. At some point you need to cover the majestic Ocean Cloud at least.
