I make no secret of my love for Fish era Marillion and I personally find them streets ahead of their obvious influence - Genesis , quite simply because of Fish. His persona, lyrics and vocals were much personal and I could relate to him even when I first heard the band aged 14.

I recently got the 2 disc version of Clutching At Straws and was absolutely delighted to have a second disc full of demo tracks I never knew existed and this is a standout for me:


I have tried on numerous occasions to get into Marillion post Fish but it just doesn't work for me at all. He was the centre of the band and always will be.
