treeduck Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm not a fan of either of these bands so I thought I'd throw then to the wolves! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbanezJem Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 It`s better to be named after a river in hell than anything by Tolkein, but Marillion made enough good stuff with Fish - and early enough in my life to make an impact - that they still get a regular listen.

BastillePark Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Answer 3 isn't really valid based on the question. Brought to you by Pedants Are Us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Entre_Perpetuo Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Marillion haven't done much for me so far in my listening of them. Styx are fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zepphead Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I love both bands but both are very different musically.Based on the Fish-era output, I voted Marillion. (BTW the new Marillion album is very good indeed!!) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 (edited) I like both bands equally ( whilst both are good , neither are in in my Top 10 ) so had to choose option 3 Edited March 21, 2022 by Alex’s Amazing Arpeggios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 And, which Marillion? Though I did vote Styx, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was glorious!It`s a tough crowd that can`t enjoy some of the early Marillion. The exact same tough crowd that boo`d them when they opened for Rush, I guess. If you don`t like the music, just sit back with a different CD and enjoy the sumptuous sleeve art by Mark Wilkinson. :lol: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laurabw Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I mean, you all KNOW how much I love Fish....but Styx has been my band since 1980 (before Rush, they were a short time later)...so it had to be Styx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 (edited) Srtx far and away. i love Fish era Marilliion though. Everything after Fish........snooze. well i should say at least every Hogarth album i've heard. just not an engaging singer AT ALL but i ADORE Styx Mick Edited March 22, 2022 by bluefox4000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Styx all day everyday!!! I love almost everything they have ever done. What I don't love I mostly really like (yes, even Kilroy Was Here has grown on me). Easily one of my favourite bands 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
