Marillion

UK based art / prog rock band similar in style and scope to bands like early Genesis and Van Der Graaf Generator.
Recorded a string of classic and ground breaking albums between 1983 and 1987 including 'Script for a Jetsers Tear' and 'Misplaced Childhood'. Original lead singer, Derick Willian Dick (fish) quit in 1988 to be replaced by former European's Frontman Steve Hogarth. Recorded three more worthy albums including the epic concept project 'Brave' before loosing the plot and disapearing up their own backsides and into obscurity
