            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.
