PhishyK Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Ya know, I don't really like to listen to live jamband stuff at work because I find the endless meandering distracting. *grin* But, I really like to spice up my playlist with a few choice Phish studio tracks. Right now, the select cuts are Fee, Fast Enough for You and Bug. Any other recommendations out there? We gotta spark up the Phish discussion! What are your favorite studio tracks from 'the boys'?

Del Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I would also recommend this show:1998-10-20Sessions At West 54thSony Music StudiosNew York, NYSleepFrankie SaysGhostRoggaeGuyuteWading in the Velvet SeaDriverAlbuquerqueBirds of a FeatherPiperTasteNone of these songs are really jammed out, lots of good tunes, and there's a crispy copy circulating around... It makes for a perfect, chill, one disc Phish show that won't offend too many people... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tickler Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I enjoy the studio versions of Julius, David Bowie and my friend my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 My favourite Phish studio album is "Rift"*, and the standout tracks, for me, are "Rift", "It's Ice", "Horn" and "My Friend My Friend" (esp. the transition from the acoustic guitar section to the vocal section, and the way the drums shift tempo/pattern from line to line). Aloha, Brad * I haven't heard "Undermind" yet, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcO Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 There are really only two Phish studio albums I really care for, in terms of choosing to put them on over a show, and ones that I really think stand up against any other recording artists that are solid: The Siket Disc Round Room I have heard all the rest (and own most of them in some format or another) and they are all flawed, in my opinion. Including "Undermind", which I actually think is their worst release since "Billy Breathes". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blane Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I love Rift. Farmhouse is pretty good, and I actually quite like Undermind. Sorry MarcO but I think Round Room is the worst thing I've ever heard Phish do (Coventry excepted). Billy Breathes gets a lot of hype, but there are only a few tunes I really like off of it (Free, Train Song, Talk). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 I think Round Room is the worst thing I've ever heard Phish do (Coventry excepted). Hear, hear. Speaking of Round Room, the song Round Room is one of the most heinous pieces of sh!t I've heard ANY band perpetrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhishyK Posted February 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Billy Breathes and Ghost are both nice for the overall cohesive vibe that they put forth, wouldn't you say? K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Speaking of Round Room, the song Round Room is one of the most heinous pieces of sh!t I've heard ANY band perpetrate. Actually, Round Room (the song) is one of the few songs I really like off that album... Overall, I think Round Room and Undermind are their two weakest efforts...

Schwa. Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Round Room and Undermind are their two weakest efforts... amen. leagues below the quality of all the others. no ingenuity, no real grabbers if you get me. best at work listen would be Billy Breathes or perhaps Junta. best studio album, in my humble opinion of course is Rift. I think that is a pretty wide spread opinion though, it really stands out. Listen very closely to the music and harmony in Mound. they didn't do anything like that after Rift (the essence of a great band?) as far as overall ass kicking goes. Ghost is a close second for me, gotta (jiboo) love the funk people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
