I don't love every ablum he's done, but as much as I consider myself a Fish fan, I don't love every one of his solo albums. Brave is one of my favorite albums overall (and that is including my non-Marillion albums).
Before finding the Moon, I didn't know any other Marillion fans. I was excited to see Marillion and Fish here as well as learn there were not just folks who had heard of them, but were truly fans. My love of Marillion (both versions) has been renewed since hanging around here And it was because I mentioned Marillion on my myspace page that I have a wonderful new person in my life.

When I got my prog awakening in college, Marillion hit right at the beginning (1981-84). The crap they received for Grendel was initially hard to overcome. The Apocalypse in 9/8 ripoff section was a bit much, and that gave the critics fodder for piling it on. But after Fugazi, thay distanced themselves enough from Genesis, and even spawned bands like Iluvatar, who are unabashed in their praise of the band (seeing them do the entire first side of Misplaced Live was a treat).
They've always had lots of fans, it's good that you have a place to pull them together here. And it's great about the new person
