KETTLE OF FISH 88-98

This is the only Fish solo album I have listened to besides the 1st one, so my Fish knowledge is restricted to these and his days with Marillion. However, I can't imagine that this could be considered as the "best" of Fish. Possibly the judgement of track selection was based on radio-play rather than actual quality. Indeed, several of these songs such as "Big Wedge" are definate radio-friendly songs. I found this cd used and treid it for awhile but I was never impressed. Just as his first album did not impress me. Maybe the final question is- Did Fish need Marillion more than Marillion need Fish? Personnaly I have never been a big fan of the new Marillion and I suppose I am not a Fish fan based on what I have heard. Best Song on this: "Gentleman's Excuse me". Worst song: "Chasing Ms Pretty". Overall I grade this as 2 stars at best.
