I'm not too big on neo prog but Marillion are a solid band.
But I do think they're overrated a bit by prog fans.
Script for a Jester's Tear is fantastic. But Misplaced Childhood is considered a prog masterpiece and it just sounds like really 80s arena pop rock to me, the guitar work is great though.
I don't know why Genesis get so much hate for doing that kinda thing, but Marillion don't.
