I would as well for those who want to discover the band with Peter
on vocals, but AToTT and W&W aren't bad either. Then again, neither is
Duke.

I'm actually going to have to go against you on this. I feel that
the early Marillion stuff (again, it's just my opinion) is TOO much
genesisique for my tastes (not that is necessarily a bad thing!) so I like
the Hogarth era material alot more than the Fish era material. Again,
just my opinion.
