Marillion formed in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England in 1979. They have been recording consistently since 1982 and are known for their distinct eras led by two vocalists. The original vocalist, Fish, guided the band during their most popular period both critically and commercially. After Fish's departure in 1989, Steve Hogarth, formerly of Europeans, took over as the new vocalist. The band's different styles between the two vocalists have often divided fans.
