Line #1 YMMV/Marillion


1	* {{Anvilicious}}: ''Misplaced Childhood'' gets pretty preachy about the devastation caused by war towards the end of the album.
2	* AudienceAlienatingEra: The 1997 - 1999 era is usually considered this. Whether 2001's ''Anoraknophobia'' ended or continued it is a point of debate.
3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Any Rothery solo spot.
4	** "Grendel." I don't care what anyone says.
5	** "This Strange Engine."
6	** "Chelsea Monday" and "The Last Straw".
7	** This list should be a lot longer. "Gaza", "Ocean Cloud", "Goodbye to All That", "The Invisible Man", "Neverland", pretty much ''all'' of ''Misplaced Childhood'', list goes on and on.
8	*** With "The New Kings" soon to be added.
9	* BrokenBase: Fish-era fans vs. Hogarth-era fans. Even though, as mentioned on the main page, both singers approve of each other's work with the band.
10	* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: They get little attention in the UK, but they are quite popular in Holland.
11	* HoYay: Between Steve Hogarth and Music/PorcupineTree's Richard Barbieri. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wh9B-eLicBE Behold.]]
12	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The first time they pulled off the pre-order gambit. Doubles as a TakeThat to the music industry.
13	%%* {{Narm}}: "Grendel", also [[TheScottishTrope known]] as [[OldShame The Song Which Must Not Be Named]]. See PurpleProse.
14	%%** NarmCharm: And yet, it's a lot of people's favourite song and often compared to {{Music/Genesis\|Band}}' "Music/SuppersReady".
15	* SignatureSong: Debatable, but either of the following: [[EpicRocking Script For A Jester's Tear]], [[BlackSheepHit Kayleigh]], [[SurprisinglyGentleSong Easter]] or [[Literature/PeterPan Neverland]].
16	* TheWoobie: Steve Hogarth. Being "the new singer since 1989" is hard enough without all the misery that's happened to him, and it shows.
17	** Fish falls more into JerkassWoobie / IronWoobie territory.
18	* TearJerker: "The Great Escape". Dear God, [[DrivenToSuicide The Great Escape]]...
19	** There is no song out there that hammers home the horror of UsefulNotes/TheTroubles quite like "Forgotten Sons". Especially the last section, after the line "[[WhamLine Approach...]] ''[[WhamLine friend]]''".
20	** "Holloway Girl" becomes this if you know what it is about:
21	--> '''Steve Hogarth:''' "Years ago when I was part of 'The Europeans' we sometimes rehearsed around the corner from Holloway Women's Prison. I think prisons are fascinating places, like all alternative societies, and I used to stare up at the walls and watch the gate police. Years later I saw a documentary on TV. A camera crew had been allowed to film inside. A lot of tough girls for sure, but among them, there were women who should have been in mental hospitals - not prison. Victims of an 'underfunded' society which would lock up the desperate rather than tend to their troubled minds."
22	** "Estonia", named for the ferry that went down in the Baltic Sea in 1994, is both incredibly sad and uplifting.
23	** All of "Blind Curve" qualifies for this, but the last two parts ([[BSODSong "Perimeter Walk" and "Threshold"]]) are definitely the darkest moments of "Misplaced Childhood".
