Anyone can play an instrument or write a song, those things are not talent. Making great music is talent, and great music is very subjective, so it's well within reason to say that Marillion isn't talented if you rightly think they're garbage.

Oh and neoprog doesn't mean new prog. It means that tepid new agey bull****.
