Cool! Glad someone is reading! I always meant to do this, but I thought my journal would be the place. Now that I've reviewed a few of their albums that didn't really seem like it would work, so I thought out here in the wilds of the prog subforum might be a better place. It's certainly taking me back I can tell you!

Yeah you're right about Marillion being a charge of one, but then again without their pushing prog rock the likes of Big Big Train, It Bites, Spock's Beard, Arena and others might never have got off the ground, so whereas it wasnt exactly the NWOBPR, it was a movement that got people thinking about that genre in a way most of us had not up to then; ie that it wasn't only classic or archive material, but was having something of a rebirth...

Anyway, welcome to the ride and hope you enjoy!
