Isn’t subjecting a kid to 17 minutes of Marillion covered by child abuse laws?
Late addition to the Marillion love in.
So tonight I noticed a tweet by Marillion supporting the nurses, and I thought I used to listen to Grendel and enjoy it, so I thought I'd look it up and OMFG.
Always thought they were unfairly ridiculed just because of the mullet and the prog rock origins. I am sure Strict for a Jester's Tear is still an ok listen, but this starts a bit crazy with the long sleeve/no sleeve combo and somehow gets more and more bonkers.

Can see why comments were turned off. If you can't stomach it all, skip to the last 5 minutes.
It's fair to say Marillion are definitely Marmite. Some love them some hate them, some don't like H being the "new" lead singer even though he's been in the band much longer now than when Fish was with them and he's still there. They have both written fierce songs, love songs and everything in between. They are all really nice blokes in RL and do a bit for good causes. FWIW My fav tracks change all the time - there are so many but this week they are from the fish era Warm Wet Circles - Clutching at Straws released in 1987 and The title track from Afraid of Sunlight released in 1995.
For anyone interested the Prog_music Channel on YT has a series of Marillion best moments of The Fish era, the H era, Steve Rothery epic guitar bits and lots more.
Here is the link for Vol 1.
