	Marillion Script for a Jester's Tear 1983 Capitol Records		Script for a Jester's Tear He Knows You Know The Web	Garden Party Chelsea Monday Forgotten Sons
Aah, the one that started it all! Prog rock appeared to be dead in the 80's, even though both Yes and Genesis were enjoying their most successful runs. Marillion decided to pick up the Prog torch and run with it. And with tunes like 'Garden Party' and 'He Knows You Know,' they were off to a great start.

	Marillion Fugazi 1984 Capitol Records		Assassing Punch & Judy Jigsaw Amerald Lies	She Chameleon Incubus Fugazi
Picks up where Script . . . left off. Contains the excellent 'Chelsea Monday' and the dark humour of 'Punch and Judy.' Unfortunately, the 80s 'No Low End' recording policy is highly evident here. Where's the bass?

	Marillion Real to Reel 1984 EMI Records		Assassing Incubus Cinderella Search Emerald Lies	Forgotten Sons Garden Party Market Square Heroes
A collection of live cuts and b-sides that EMI decided to release to capitalise on the surge in Marillion's popularity. Provides a chance for 'Market Square Heroes' (the first single) to be available in the US.

	Marillion Misplaced Childhood 1985 Capitol Records		Pseudo Silk Komono Kayleigh Lavender Bitter Suite Heart of Lothian	Waterhole (Expresso Bongo) Lords of the Backstage Blind Curve Childhoods End? White Feather
Many feel that this record is overrated. Ridiculous!! This is Marillion at their best (so far) with a concept album about the loss of innocence and childhood. A Peter Pan opera, if you will. Yes, it has 'Kayleigh,' which in some circles was played to death on the radio. But what else are you going to do with a great tune?

	Marillion Brief Encounter 1986 Capitol Records		Lady Nina Freaks Kayleigh	Script for a Jester's Tear Emerald Lies
Another collection of nuggets that Capitol released in the US to capitalise on the popularity of 'Kayleigh.' Includes the fantastic 'Freaks' as well.

	Marillion Clutching at Straws 1987 Capitol Records		Hotel Hobbies Warm Wet Circles That Time of the Night .................. (The Short Straw) Going UNder Just for the Record White Russian	Incommunicado Torch Song Slainte Mhath Sugar Mice The Last Straw Happy Ending
Irony of ironies, the best Marillion album of them all and it's Fish's last one with the group. The towering lead singer decided to part company with his bandmates and pursue the inevitable solo career. Probably not of his better ideas. This album, though, is possibly the most autobiographical of Marillion's, tackling the subject of too much drink and its consequences. A thoroughly depressing album, which instantly makes it an all-time great.

	Marillion B'Sides Themselves 1988 EMI Records		Grendel Charting the Single Market Square Heroes Three Boats Down from ...... ...... ...... .. the Candy	Cinderella Search Lady Nina Freaks Tux On Margaret (live)
Yet more B-Sides from the Marillion vaults.

			Misplaced Childhood Part 1 Pseudo Silk Komono Kayleigh Lavender Bitter Suite Heart of Lothian	Misplaced Childhood Part 2 Waterhole (Expresso Bongo) Lords of the Backstage Blind Curve Childhoods End? White Feather
The obligatory (official) live album, from the last tour with Fish. Kinda cool in the sense that you get all of Misplaced Childhood performed live. So that's nice.

	Marillion Seasons End 1989 Capitol Records		The King of Sunset Town Easter The Uninvited Guest Seasons End	Holloway Girl Berlin After Me (Bonus Track) Hooks in You The Space . . .
The first of the Steve Hogarth era of Marillion. Kind of weird not hearing Fish singing, but Hogarth does an admirable job.

	Marillion Holidays in Eden 1991 IRS Records		Splintering Heart Cover My Eyes (Pain and ... ... ..... ..... ..... ... .. Heaven) The Party No One Can Holidays in Eden	Dry Land Waiting to Happen This Town The Rakes Progress 100 Nights CD Bonus Tracks: A Collection How Can It Hurt
Better than the last outing - more commercial. And the band is more comfortable around Hogarth's voice now.

	Marillion brave 1994 IRS Records		bridge living the big lie runaway goodbye to all that ... i) wave ... ii) mad ... iii) the opium den ... iv) the slide ... v) standing in the swing hard as love	the hollow man alone again in the lap of luxury ... i) now wash your hands paper lies brave the great escape ... i) the last of you ... ii) fallin' from the moon made again
The magnum opus of the Hogarth era, apparently based on a true news report of a runaway attempting suicide by jumping off a bridge. Rumour has it that some of the band caught this live on TV and got to wondering what could lead a young person to do such a thing. brave is their answer.

	Marillion Afraid of Sunlight 1995 El Dorado / IRS Records		Gazpacho Cannibal Surf Babe Beautiful Afraid of Sunrise	Out of this World Afraid of Sunlight Beyond You King
A wonderful little album that largely went unnoticed by the public at large upon its release. Sadly, that would be the trend for subsequent Marillion albums.

	Marillion This Strange Engine 1997 Eaglerock Records		Man of a Thousand Faces One Fine Day 80 Days Estonia	Memory of Water An Accidental Man Hope for the Future This Strange Engine
The first of many fan-funded albums in Marillion's colorful history. Dropped by IRS when they folded in 1995, Marillion had this album in the can with no way to release it. After donations from fans, funds from a Marillion convention, and band members' contributions, this CD was released. They finally toured the states again to support this record and that tour was also funded almost entirely by the fans. You may not like their music (which is great, by the way), but you gotta love their fans.

	Marillion Radiation 1998 Velvel Records		Costa del Slough Under the Sun The Answering Machine Three Minute Boy Now She'll Never Know	These Chains Born to Run Cathedral Wall A Few Words for the Dead CD Bonus Tracks: Estonia (Acousitc Studio Version) Memory of Water (Big Beat Mix)
Nothing really new here. It's not a bad album, it's just more of the same.
