Both albums are a four and something star. I'am going with both. ------------- - From each according to his ability, to each according to his need. |

| A really hard, hard choice for me, since I love both very much. I guess it depends of the mood I'm in, but I will go for Voyage, since it's more guitar oriented, though Fish is an outstanding record. |

Voyage is a far better album for me. ------------- A TVR is not a car. It's a way of life. |

I really should re-visit Squire's album it's been soooo long. It's rare for me to be able to get into the albums of solo artists for some reason. Hackett's is one exception although i'm sure there's others. Peter Hammill comes to mind. Even Peter Gabriel who i'm such a big fan of for his work with Genesis does little for me as a solo artist other than several songs. Wyatt's another solo artist I really appreciate.------------- "The wind is slowly tearing her apart" "Sad Rain" ANEKDOTEN |

I'm 100% for Squire ------------- I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution |

Two of my top favorite albums. I take the escape route
and vote "both" |

The best solo albums from individual Yes and Genesis members. The edge goes to Chris Squire.

My favorite solo albums from the Yes and Genesis stable - I agree with many in that it's a tough choice, but I've gotta go with Voyage.....Hackett to bits! ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |

Given the option, I vote for both: excellent albums all around and every progger should have them. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

| Bought both at time of release and still have the vinyl. Spin them very occassionally but both are present on my iBasso as FLAC rips and I have listened to both recently. Would rate both as strong 4's and sit on the fence with a both vote. |

there will be no sitting on the fence in a couple of weeks when these two albums (most likely) will meet in the 3rd round of the album tournament. No 3rd 'both' options.. that is for wimps and the intellectually confused. It is not hard.. pick the one album that has the best music.. the more accomplished song writer.. best prog bassist ever.. 2nd best prog drummer ever.. a freakishly talented keyboardist.. and sublime orchestral arrangements. not hard at all actually.. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

| Voyage of the Acolyte for me. Fish out of Water has some songs I like, but in general I enjoy more Acolyte as a whole (there's something on the Atmosphere depicted on Fish out of Water that puts me off), and Acolyte's got the song I absolutley enjoy the most on both albums: Shadow of the Hierophant. |
