One is Mick Pointer, who left after the first album and the second is of Fish who left after 4 albums

I always check Google for such problems and look for large images:

So far I always found it and then added / changed it manually at Roon.

Hey @macrho,

This is where Roon’s metadata editing features come in handy. There’s no one “correct” image for bands, artists, performers, composers, etc. It’s going to be a matter of taste. And for some folks the “Fish era” is going to be the preferred Marillion image.

As @Uwe_Albrecht stated, you can take matters into your own hands and choose any image you prefer for Marillion.

Here’s how you do it:

  • Go to Marillion’s artist page and click the ellipsis button
  • Click edit
  • Find the Photo section
  • Click add image
  • Find the preferred image on your computer
  • Click Save
  • Your preferred Marillion image is now set as the artist image!
