Weirdly, Ian Anderson looks like the twin brother separated at birth from Derek Dick (aka “Fish”) who was the frontman for Marillion but separated for a solo career and more creative endeavors. Although they look alike in their respective 60s, their discographies show similar artistic bents — amazing poetic lyrics, driving but complex melodies, and great showmanship.
For anyone reading this thread, go into the Ian Anderson discography on Spotify or your other streaming service and listen to it, with lyrics. You’ll be amazed.
Why do all prog singers go bald? (Jon Anderson being an exception)
Also, allegedly, Marillion kicked Fish out after the incredible "Clutching at Straws (1987)" album because Marillion wanted to go mainstream. Similar to Anderson, Dick wasn't interested in mainstream. Their projects are all incredible, and Anderson should be acknowledged as one of the greatest musical talents of the past 60 years.
