I am so excited to appear on Bicyclelegs’ excellent YouTube channel for the first time! To talk about Marillion is just an extra treat for me.
Bicyclelegs approached me a few weeks ago and asked if I’d be interested in picking my favourite song from each (studio) album. Immediately I agreed. Considering the depth of the discography, he decided to split this into two episodes. This is part one: the EMI years. Four albums with Fish, and four albums with Steve Hogarth:
- Script for a Jester’s Tear
- Fugazi
- Misplaced Childhood
- Clutching at Straws
- Seasons End
- Holidays in Eden
- Brave
- Afraid of Sunlight
I found myself changing my lists up to the last day, but I think I’m happy with how this turned out. What you will find in this show is a lot of love for some great songs, a little bit of history, and a lot of great music.
Here is what Bicyclelegs had to say:
Welcome to another episode of Favourite Song From Each Album. In this series we look at the catalogue of an artist and pick our favourite song from each studio album chronologically. Today Mike Ladano from Grab A Stack Of Rock joins me to talk Marillion and pick our favourite songs from the first 8 studio albums (the EMI years). We will come back in a month or two’s time to cover the rest of the catalogue. Enjoy!

Sounds good, Mike, I’m a Marillion fan too, and know Bicyclelegs from Peter’s channel (and his own channel). Will check it out. Henry.

I listened to Yin and Yang, but I didn’t buy them. I think they were re-recordings right?

Well that’s just the thing! There are no wrong answers, it’s all just favourite songs with no negativity! I know you will love it. I went off the beaten track for some songs, and went for hits on others.
