 Topic: Favorite Studio Phish Album

Billy Breathes. It's one of their least proggy albums, but it's definitely the peak of Trey's "songwriter" phase, and it's some of the Steve Lilywhite's best work as a producer.

Rift may be the most cohesive and tightest album. My Friend My Friend may be the most progressive song on there.

definitely check out lawn Boy next. it's a bit more avant-guard but features the band's best song "Reba"

hey if they dont get moved, oh well. at least i tried, and maybe got some more people to check out the band and they liked it
all this discussion of Phish got me to put on the 40 minute "You Enjoy Myself" on LivePhish 14. so ridiculous

If yer going to skip anything on Junta, let it be Union Federal. Yeesh. I like Ester. It's not the best, but it picks up steam as it goes along.

track 3 might scare you off, even i skip it a lot, only cause im not big on the carnival sounds, but the rest of the album is fire. if you like Junta, you should just get their albums in sequential order, with Lawn Boy next, followed by APON, then Rift. but it is all about Live Phish

i have a sweet spot for A Picture of Nectar. it was the first album i heard by the band. i had only heard the studio "You enjoy Myself" previously. The tone and feel of the album is sooo good, it's hard to explain. there's a warmth to it and has a jazzy upbeat thing going.

Phish are as we all know best on stage. Every fan of Phish should hear New Year's Eve 1995 (Live At Madison Square Garden) it is pure perfection one of my fav live albums!

I've only heard 5 of these but I gotta go with nectar
Trey's guitar tone on the album sounds oh so smooth and it has a stellar tracklist (a fine mix of regulation normal songs and songs that they could jam on forever)
your hands and feet are mangos...

oh, and why IS Phish so under-appreciated on this site. and why are they in the prog related section and not a prog section. maybe eclectic prog? If Umphrey's McGee is under jazz-rock/fusion, then Phish should DEFINITLY be there or eclectic prog. Umphrey's wouldnt exist without Phish (and other bands)

Thanks for the recommendations - so far I've only got 'A Live One', and that only a couple of weeks ago: currently sitting in the car's CD player to blow me away on my way to & from work |
A Live One is really good too. i forgot about that one. Also Vegas 96, which just came out recently along with Colorado 88, is really good too.
