Biography
Aylesbury, England (1979 – present)
The Fish era is often categorized as neo-progressive. They originally started as “Silmarillion” (from Tolkien’s book) with heavy influences from classic Genesis but went on to develop their own distinctive sound. The band was formed in 1979 by Mick Pointer (drums), Steve Rothery (guitar), Doug ‘Rastus’ Irvine (bass), and others, soon adding vocalist Fish (real name Derek W. Dick), Diz Minitt (bass), and Brian Jelliman. By the time of their first album, 1983’s Script For A Jester’s Tear, the bass position had been taken over by Pete Trewavas and keyboards by Mark Kelly.
The studio albums Fugazi (1984), Misplaced Childhood (1985), and Clutching At Straws (1987), as well as the 1984 live album Real to Reel all sold respectably, and the band scored a hit single in Britain with Kayleigh in 1985.
When Fish left the band in 1988 after four albums he was replaced by Steve Hogarth. A former member of The Europeans and some-time collaborator with The The and Julian Cope, Hogarth brought a new energy to the band.

I love the new album but you've got to admit that its got some ridiculous lines on it "down in the sports bar the ice hokey never ends"

Hard As Love is a song about weed.

@Tenozuma: Well, it seems that you've never loved anyone. This is the song that really gets to me. Every time I listen to it I shed a tear. It's just fantastic, probably one of the most beautiful songs they ever written.

Focusing on the lyrics of a prog rock band.... okay

What makes me not like Gaza is the completely vapid lyrics, and it's not even from a point of view I disagree with. I feel that way about a lot of the record. The Sky Above the Rain has some of the laziest lyrics I've ever heard. I keep listening to it and trying to change my mind, but it just grates on me.

New album is fantastic. `Gaza` alone is worth buying the album. How could anybody not like that track? especially prog fans. Its got everything that`s magical about Marillion. Personally I love playing `Pour my Love` and `Power` too. Especially `Pour My Love` I feel so relaxed.

The last album is really great, of course. You only need to be open-minded enough to accept that this band keeps evolving with each new record.
