My Take
Fish is one of those artists I respect more the older I get. Fronting Marillion through the 1980s, he gave neo-prog a literary heart, and his lyrics always read like a poet who happened to wander into a rock band rather than a rocker reaching for depth. Coming out of tiny Dalkeith in Scotland, he built a voice that could fill arenas and break them at the same time. Even his choice to bury Derek Dick under a one-word name feels like an artist refusing to be ordinary. Now retired, he leaves a catalogue that rewards anyone willing to actually listen.
