[[There Is No Such Thing as Notability|Notable]] former members include:

* Derek "Fish" Dick (Lead Vocals)

Line 52:

* [[The Big Guy]]: Steve Rothery

* [[Black Sheep Hit]]: "Kayleigh", to the point of [[One-Hit Wonder]]-syndrome.

* [[Blessed ~~With~~ Suck]]: Thanks to "Kayleigh", no matter how hard they try to reinvent themselves, the [[Mainstream Media]] will always view them as a [[One-Hit Wonder]] from [[The Eighties]].

* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: Fish. He's a big guy in every way.

* [[BSOD Song]]: "The Invisible Man", complete with [[And I Must Scream]] imagery.

* [[Call Back]]: Late Hogarth-era track "If My Heart Were A Ball It Would Roll Uphill" contains a snippet of Fish' vocal from "Chelsea Monday".

* [[Careful ~~With~~ That Axe]]: Steve lets out an epic scream on "Cathedral Wall".

Line 69:

* [[Epic Rocking]]: "Grendel", "This Strange Engine", "Interior Lulu", "Ocean Cloud", "The Invisible Man", "Neverland", "If My Heart Were a Ball It Would Roll Uphill"

* [[Epic Song]]: Many, but "The Space" in particular is this trope to a tee.

* [[Everything's Louder ~~With~~ Bagpipes]]: Subverted in "Easter", the second verse of which contains a very subdued and gentle bagpipe in the background. You won't even hear it if you don't pay attention.

* [[Everything's Louder with Bagpipes]]: Subverted in "Easter", the second verse of which contains a very subdued and gentle bagpipe in the background. You won't even hear it if you don't pay attention.

** "Brave", the song, also has a pretty subdued bagpipe bit.

** Old days' live favorite "Margaret" on the other hand plays the trope absolutely straight.

* [[Fading Into the Next Song]]: Used for some of the transitions on some of their [[Concept Album|Concept Albums]].

* [[Fake-Out Opening]]: "Between You And Me" is the biggest example, as well as a few smaller ones.

* [[Genre Shift]]: A few cases, most [[There Is No Such Thing As Notability|notably]] "House", a [[Massive Attack]] inspired chillout dub groove. [[Your Mileage May Vary]] whether it works...

* [[Hatedom]]: A disturbing number of people refuses to acknowledge Marillion's existence after Fish' departure. Worth noting that Fish himself has gone on record as approving of Hogarth's work with the band.

* [[Heavy Mithril]]: "Grendel"

Line 82:

* [[Last-Note Nightmare]]: "King"

* [[Long Title]]: "If My Heart Were A Ball, It Would Roll Uphill"

* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]: Most of their poppy-sounding songs have this. Most noticeable example: "Cannibal Surf Babe," a cheery pop song (in a vaguely Beach Boys style) about... [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|well, guess]].

* [[Madness Mantra]]: "Problems,problems,problems,problems...". The word is repeated quite a lot in "He Knows, You Know".

* [[Non-Appearing Title]]: Many examples, including "Incubus", "Bitter Suite", "King", "Estonia" and "A Few Words For The Dead".

Line 117:

** "Three Minute Boy": "The flash gun went off without warning"

** "A Few Words for the Dead": "Or you could love"

* [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made On Drugs?]]: Bits of ''Brave'' and, especially, ''Marbles''. [[Mind Screw|Drilling Holes]] stands out. Justified as it's a [[Beatles]] homage.

** The Fish albums were obviously made on booze.

*** [[Word of God]] says that the lyrics to ''Misplaced Childhood'' was largely written on acid.
