Progressive rock

Marillion is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Pink Floyd, Trespass, IQ, Steve Hackett and Genesis. Those roots explain a lot about how Marillion arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Fish, Steve Hackett, Genesis, The Flower Kings and Peter Gabriel, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The The, Moon Safari, Silhouette, GTR and Pendragon, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 38 connections around Marillion, reaching back through Pink Floyd and forward to The The.
