Well Derek, I'd recommend purchasing Misplaced Childhood, as you like the Gabriel/Hackett era Genesis, its got a 'similar' feel, it is different, but excellent melodic prog rock, nice guitar too.
Not familiar with Marillion at all I'm afraid. :couch
But from reading past posts they seem to be akin to Genesis ? The Peter Gabriel years (+Steve Hackett) ??
Is this a fair assumption ? Or can a fan further enlighten me. NOT ALL,,,, but alotta 80's artists----well tend to disappoint.
I purchased Pixies-Doolittle on Duncan 's informative say so and am pleased I did so. So there's that.
