I've just got around to reading this thread and to be fair they did lead the progressive charge/revival in the 1980s, but to be fair it was really a charge of one, as Marillion were well known especially in the UK with a string of successes, but unlike most revivals to a genre, the rest of the bands like IQ, Pallas and Pendragon hardly had any success and just scraped by.
Anyway you've now given me the desire to listen to the whole discography with you (in an internet way of course and not sat on your lap
) so I'll be listening and correcting your assessments where needed for each album
