Really? What about "Assassing" and "Jigsaw"? Those weren't
discussed earlier.

I *love* "Lady Nina", and yes, "Three Boats" and "Tux on" are
great. I wouldn't say I love "Grendel" but I do like it...

They are more proggy than most of their other stuff, yes, but I
find "The Web" to be a little weak, at least compared to "Script".

FS> just one continuous song. I don't have any specific favorite there.
Yeah, it is difficult. I'd say I have more favorite "moments" than
complete songs. Perhaps my favorite moment on the album is the
"...room of dancing shadows where all the heartache disappears, and
from the glowing tongues of candles, I heard her whisper in my
ear..." bit, and the closing section of Side 1, "...but you're
feelin' like a wino in a parking lot...".
FS> From _Clutching..._ I'd probably pick "That Time Of The Night (The

Yes, I like "White Russian", but it's not even comparable to most
of that album, the trio of songs that open the album are
incredible, as is "Going Under" (depending on what format you own
the album on), "The Last Straw", "Sugar Mice" and "Slainte Mhath"
(I saw a license plate the other day that said "slainte")... oh
yeah, and "Torch song" is excellent.
FS> My absolute *favorite* Marillion song is without Fish: "The Space..."
FS> I *LOVE* that song!!!
Yikes! No comment... :)
