You're kidding?! It's in my top 3, along with Rainy Days and Mondays and Superstar! I can't quite out the 3 in order though. I love A Song For You. As for their other covers I also love their version of Desperado. That, Eagles amd Ronstadt's version are all fantastic. Their version of Help is mad - haha!

I think in terms of albums I'd have to go for A Song For You and Horizon as possibly the best 2. I do have a very soft spot for Made In America and Lovelines though. Passage and A Kind of Hush, not so much (with the exceptions of I Just Fall In Love Again and I Need To Be In Love, which was apparently Karen's favourite of all their songs).

I think my least favourite songs are probably Man Smart, Woman Smarter and Beechwood 4-5789 (as much as I like Made In America).

The only thing I don't have is Richard's Time album from the mid 1980s, which is IMPOSSIBLE to get apart from stupidly priced vinyl copies on ebay. The cd version has completely disappeared. It's frustrating. The one thing I need to get to complete my collection. Do you have it, is it any good? I've never thought I was missing out on much because I have Something In Your Eyes.

Too many to list...

But I will say as of late I have been enjoying Fish era Marillion.

Yeah, that album is impossible to get! I have heard his second solo one from the late 90s but not picked it up. It's instrumental.
