Of course, you're absolutely right about Robert Fripp.
Peter Gabriel is a genius - and 'Selling England by the Pound' and 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' were two of the most brilliant albums released in an era of brilliant albums - but I cannot agree that launching the career of Phil Collins was a contribution to music. The warmest thing I could say about Collins is that he was extremely successful.
Marillion are obviously a very long-lived and well-respected band but I'm afraid I've not listened to much of their music. By the time they came along, I was heavily into other genres. In fact the whole 1980s progressive rock thing passed me by, and I've never even heard of It Bites.
Which of Marillion's albums would you recommend as an introduction? ”

Setting personal preference to one side for a minute, I would recommend Misplaced Childhood simply because this album will (hopefully) contain a couple of tracks you know as it features Kayleigh and Lavender - Marillion's two biggest hits. The album also contains a lot of varying styles and is surprisingly cohesive considering it is one continuous piece of music.
Happy listening with whatever you choose.
PS As for It Bites, you may not have to wait too long to hear more from this underated four piece as their web-site states "The band are currently in rehearsals writing and exploring lots of musical ideas for their next album." I can't wait. For more info on It Bites check this link out.
