Marillion - Albums Collection (1983-2022)

While the U.K.’s Marillion aren’t the best-known rock band in the 21st century, they’ve influenced many acts that followed in their wake, directly or indirectly, from Porcupine Tree and Radiohead to the Pineapple Thief and Gazpacho. They are rightfully credited with having established the neo-prog subgenre, and have explored many types of music over the decades that, thanks to their expert musicianship, have celebrated their long, inventive passages for electric guitars and keyboards. Though they landed as an outlier on the U.K. post-punk music scene during the early ’80s as throwbacks to the Peter Gabriel-era Genesis sound — thanks in no small part to their flamboyant original lead vocalist Fish (Derek Dick) — by the time they released their sophomore outing, Fugazi, in 1984 they were a Top Five-charting, gold-certified act, and Fugazi’s follow-up, Misplaced Childhood, went straight to number one on the pop charts, much to the chagrin of the British music press. After Fish left the band in the late ’80s and was replaced by Steve Hogarth — himself a unique and imposing song stylist and lyricist — they became an enduring international recording and touring phenomenon who have sold more than 15 million albums and host fan clubs in ten nations. Leaving EMI after 1995’s concept album Brave, the band helped pioneer the development of fan-funded music via their own labels Intact, Racket Records, and their fan club imprint Front Row. Touring resumed in 1997. Though Fish left the group, Marillion’s music has remained on the progressive, artful side of rock, and has evolved to embrace post-punk pop, indie, experimental rock, and even funk and electronica, as evidenced by 2017’s FEAR. Each album is different from its predecessor. Despite their success, they regard themselves as a “best-kept secret.” ― by Allmusic
