Peter Gabriel-era Genesis or Fish-era Marillion?

However, clutching at Straws is one of my all time favourite albums.

Just in advance

ELP vs T-Rat: I'd go with T-Rat

Starcastle vs Yes: I'd go with Yes (This is the only case of cloning).

Marillion is simply brillant.

an unfair poll anyway

it's like having Anekdoten against King Crimson. The results would be the same. 

Hi,

I kinda think that this is a popularity show, and not an attempt to show both artists for the work they have done. Most of us have heard the PG/Genesis material, and I'm not sure that the same folks have heard as much, or most of the Fish/Marillion material available.

I would rather we concentrated on the works they all did ... and both had magnificent works.

To me, this is like asking who is better ... Richard Burton or Lawrence Olivier ... they were both very good and did their thing, and quite different at the same time. One's inflection was different than the other. And their work stood out as massive in the 20th century history of theater.

I do not believe that Fish set out to copy Peter at all. His solo work after had the same similar voice, and his ability stood out very well, unlike Peter who became a pop singer to my ears, and I stopped listening a long time ago.

There were other singers, and bands, that we might think that they copied this band or that band, unfortunately, all this does is take away the individuality that each of these different bands have and bring to the table. I don't find, for example, Acqua Fragile, Fruup, Ange and a few other bands to be "copies", and their personality stands out strongly on their work, and they deserve that credit, and it all makes me think that the main reason is the singing, and the fact that keyboards are the main instrument in the band, it seems like.
