So I've been watching both on youtube and comparing/contrasting. Which for you? Fish (aka Derek Dick) or Robert Wyatt (aka Bob). I'd try to write something interesting myself, but I'm taking a break from a big writing project. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cWq3mIp4cU - ------------- https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXcp9fYc6K4IKuxIZkenfvukL_Y8VBqzK" rel="nofollow - Duos for fave acts |

Fish is a highly talented epigone.
Wyatt is a true original! |

Epigone - an excellent description of Fish!  ------------- A dog is for lunch and not just for breakfast |

Robert Wyatt is arguably even more well known though. Oh and he's a damn site more talented than Fish as well. A true master of music and a one off original. I'd go so far as call him a genius. -------------

Robert Wyatt is the more original and versatile - he's been influential as a drummer in Soft Machine and Matching Mole, as a singer/songwriter, as a vocalist (his voice pretty much defines the Canterbury style), as an interpreter of other people's songs and as a philosopher of jazz and dadaism.
Fish isn't to be underestimated - he's a strong vocalist, an interesting lyricist and pretty much spearheaded the resurgence of prog in the 80s, but he's nowhere near as original or versatile as Wyatt. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...'
