Ups you won't like my post below, however, although I don't think it's their best, it's still good **whistles innocently**.

Edit: someone just linked it in another thread, and I do like it a lot


I like Assassin, good running song. There are a lot of great songs on their first album, Grendel, Sript itself, Chelsea Monday.

I think the music, the lyrics and the emotion of the performance is great (they are all live; it's not just all about love stuff either).

No, I think you're pretty much spot on-look at the video, in which he's effectively his own dark side...

I have a soft spot for the Misplaced Childhood stuff as it's when I discovered them, but i do love the early stuff, especially Script. The Company is one of Fish's best solo efforts, he has a great way with words:
the company I choose is solidly singular, totally trustworthy, straight and sincere; polished, experienced, witty and charming, so why don't you push off-this company's my own!

I've been a Marillion fans from the start with Market Square Heroes..

They are a fantastic band and as mentioned above are superb live.

They've done so many brilliant songs but my favourite is probably Jigsaw, in fact the first 2 lines to me are very relevant to the Dr/Amy relationship:-

We are jigsaw pieces aligned on the perimeter edge
Interlocked through a missing piece

Who'd have thought I'd end up talking about my favourite group on a Dr Who thread....

From Fugazi, right? I haven't heard that song-or indeed that album-in years, as I still only have it on cassette. must dig it out for a listen in the van...

I first saw them live at Hammersmith in '86. Great performance. I still have the t-shirt I bought that day, with the cover image from script on it.

That's the one, probably my favourite album of their's, well worth another listen...

I love the artwork of their early albums.....

I love that song, and I assume it's the beauty of a forum to discuss different things. It's nice for once to concentrate on things we share rather than things we disagree on..


You should dig it out, it's a very good album. I still have the old LP's and I have some special ones as well. I said it before, I envy you that you were able to see them live (I was too young, and then Fish left).

That is because Doctor Who has a six degrees connection with everything!!!!!

The singles were often quite striking, too-the cover of Assassing is very striking. But I think the jester is still their most enduring image, for me.

So it has


The early art work is very good, I think Fish still works with the original artist (Mark something I think). I have one of these special singles, which is shaped like the jester (with Kayleigh and Freaks on it). I got it for £5 in a carboot sale.

I SAID! STOP ARGU......................oh. You have. That's odd. Usually threads are devoured by arguing but this one seems to have survived. Whoopee!

Hurrah for niceness!

Mark Wilkinson.
And I'm jealous.

I was very lucky. It's this one . They might be quite cheap now?

It is Mark Wilkinson, thanks. Fish is still promoting his work everywhere and his artwork on Vigil was very good as well.

And you have the nerve to criticize me!!!
