Remember how they were joking about Beer vs. Wine on the Symphony X vs.
Shadow Gallery poll? Yeah, it actually applies here. Gabriel by a mile. |

Gabriel's probably the better singer but Fish has more emotion in his voice. Sometimes Gabriel sounds like he's just going thru' thje motions, especially in his Gabriel years. So I'll vote Fish

They sing very similar, that`s truth, but in a manner of solo career and in his previous leading band I must choose Gabriel, but Fish is one of my fav artist, but Gabriel is GABRIEL ------------- THERE`S TO MUCH MUSIC AND SO LITTLE TIME TO LISTEN TO IT VIVA LA ARGENTINA PROGRESIVA!!!!! |

Fish is a peculiar artist... but I don't like the fact that his voice sounds almost like Gabriel's (¿concidence?). Plus, Gabriel's solo career is far more interesting, since he went into a much modern style, and avoid repeating his previous line of work. Aaand... no, that's all. ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

¿Fish winning?... ¿What's the deal with the placebo items? Somehow it seems to me that the real thing always looses when it comes to race against imitations... ------------- ¡Beware of the Bee! |

Peter Gabriel for me.  Fish learning and a bit of copying from him.

Fish doesn't copy Gabriel. He was slightly influenced by him for sure,
but he was also influenced by Hammill too and that is seldom mentioned.
He is not a clone or a cheap imitation of Gabriel. Fish totally destroys Gabriel lyrically. Gabriel might technically be a better singer but Fish puts more emotion into his performances, IMO. |

Oh, so when the question, "Who do you prefer?" is asked everyone must immediately vote for your favourite? |

no match. Gabriel.
Fish has too much "strange" lyrics and failed a couple of LPs (suits, sunset on empires). While Gabriel NEVER failed an album. ------------- Semm che, semm che settà giò in del bar / a cercà l'universo nel bucèer del Cynar cosmonauti al tavolino cun la sigareta in bùca / che vemm a cambià el mund apena finissum la sambuca |

Could be an idea...ok I really love Marillion and Fish as a singer and songwriter, but there's a long distance between pupil and teacher |

I really enjoy both those albums you mentioned. |

Well, Gabriel is generally considered up at the top of the prog vocalists list with guys like J. Anderson and Hammill. To see a normally rated second teir guy like Fish actually beating Gabriel in a poll is kind of surprising. |

The curious thing is that most of the posts are for Gabriel. Why go with the pupil if you have the real deal.........Gabriel all the way, lyrics, emotion and voice, in all aspects. Iván -------------

Gabriel is my favorite singer and solo artist ever.
Fish is pretty good, but he still derives from gabriel, plus I just don't like his voice as much, they may sound similar, but gabriel's got that extra punch. ------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhuxaD8NzaY |

This is a mean one! I'd like to vote for both of them but since that's not possible I'll have to make a decision. I voted for Fish because he's more emotional than Gabriel (but only by a small margin) |
