progressive rock, neo-prog, alternative rock, art rock… call it whatever you want.

They’re British, they’ve been around for more than 30 years, they’ve been said to be "once dodgy and now completely rubbish" by some guy in the Guardian… and even referred to by Alan Partridge. What a career!
Here’s Marillion’s The Carol of the Bells, released in December 2013. 
Not sure about the Santa Claus beanie, though.

  5. Smells Fishy (poor pun on the singer's name, he is still the singer, isn't he? Difficult to tell in a hoodie) And yes, they are undeniably Queen-like! Wasn't "Bohemian Rhapsody" Christmas Number One in 1975?
