"Holidays in Eden" is probably my favorite of the Steve era, I also liked "Season's End" and "Afraid of Sunlight", but don't care much for "Brave". The other new stuff is hit and miss.
I'm a fan of lyrics thus the Fish era is my favorite. I love poetry in lyrics or songs that tell a story. I'd put him up against ANY lyricist/songwriter including John Lennon or the highly overrated Kurt Cobain.
The others in the CD changer are Depeche Mode - Violator, Manowar - Hail to England, Oasis - What's the Story Morning Glory?, and Bush - Sixteen Stone.

I've been on this Maroon 5 kick for a while. Great mix of several types of music - blues, rock, semi-funk (base lines). Good beat, lyrics, not a bad song on the CD. I think the title is Songs About Jane or something like that.

I agree about Fish's lyrics. He is one of my favorite lyricists. Another in the Fish vein is Peter Nichols from the band IQ. His lyrics are bit more impenetrable, but still thought provoking nonetheless.

Clutching at Straws was another great Marillion effort (the last with Fish).
