Agreed. Though Fish really needs a consistant band to work with him.

Actually Frank Usher doesn´t write much music for Fish - I´d say only a handful of songs during Fish´s solo career, about 8 albums. Personally I like Mickey Simmonds work on  Vigil... and Turrell/Daghorns music on Raingods best. But I agree the changes in line-up makes the it difficult to know if you´re going to like the next Fish-album.

I know later in his solo career (on his most recent album, Field of Crows, for example), Usher worked on most of the music. If Fish gets a consistent lineup to work with, then one may know what the next Fish album may sound like, because with all the different musicians he's had over the years, his sound has changed dramatically.

The band would be amazing.....


    I have to disagree there. True, Marillion with Hackett would have been amazing, but he has done much more than three noteworthy albums. And, just like Fish, needs to do his own thing.
    It's a shame that Fish had to leave, because I just don't care for the band with Hogarth. I do like a lot of his solo work, but I can understand the comments about him needing consistency. The whole was definitely greater than the sum of its parts.

^ Perhaps your are right. Hackett could not have fitted in Marillion. He would be the father giving guidance and structure to these fighting lads. Probably not his thing to do....
