With 9 'Top 10' albums and 23 'Top 40' singles in the UK, Marillion are one of the most successful and enduring bands of the prog genre - and that's despite launching in the 80's, when prog was apparently dead following the punk and new wave movements!

 

Their mix of prog, hard rock and AOR with distinctive lyrics and vocal styles has kept them on top of the game.

 

Founding member and ever present guitarist, STEVE ROTHERY, is my guest on Episode 41 to talk all about the bands success, the surreal time after KAYLEIGH became a hit, his former bandmate Fish, plans for a new tour and album and much more.
