Phish are not shit. and for the record i've never seen them live or taken drugs listening to their music, honestly. They write more complex rhythms, harmonies and melodies you could even fathom. And I never really listened to the Dead... Even if you do not like their style, it is impossible to ignore their talent and musical abilities.
It's a shame you're so ignorant, or you could actually enjoy music, instead of rip on the culture that happens to be associated with it.
btw, what does listening to 'almost nothing mainstream' have anything to do with this? Does that make you more credible that you don't like anything that someone else does?
Nothing personal, but you're making a hell of a first impression.

it was for the guy that said "the reason people dont like phish is because they're afraid of anything that isn't mainstream"
I've actually never heard Phish and I hope I never do. I just felt like venting about the dumbasses who listen to them. Don't take this as me retracting my statement that they suck, I don't need to hear them to know that.

It's pathetic how losers try to hang on to that 70s hippy bullshit. Go hug a tree and mourn the death of Jerry Garcia you fucking losers. People just hang on to the whole hippie "movement" to give them an excuse to do drugs and be a jobless loser.
Nothing personal. "
Go ahead and read how stupid you sound.
Yeah its pretty bad.
Oh and then you said this...

I just don't understand why their songs have to be like 20 minutes long. Havn't they discovered editing???
There are much better musicians out there btw (strictly instrument playing i mean). And that's really all it takes to create any type of jam band, for the most part I can come up with lyrics to a jam band song, It'll take a couple bowls but I'll get there. I can sing about antelope jumping???

Yea those pics are from IT. Though its hard to capture the beauty of a glow stick war like that in a photo. I remember when it started, this 1 guy just started tossing out arm fulls of glow rings.
soochi, people don't go to Phish shows for their lyrics. They go for the MUSIC. When you have a group of musicians that is so in tune with one another that boundaries are smashed, 20 minutes songs are not uncommon.
One of the main thing that sets apart phish from most bands:
Phish just don't give a fuck. They will play what they want, not what you want. They have never tried to conform or change their style to get played to a broader audience, aka Radio.

the only way to know what Phish really soundlike,
is to see them live while on a hefty dose of mescaline, lsd, or mushrooms.
then you will know the truth, and the truth shall let you Be.
btw their lyrics are ultra-high superfly sell-your-soul genious too...

# 1 Do NOT always go for the 'latest studio album' (Round Room, Farmhouse? Jesus, we're trying to GAIN fans!)
# 2 Radiohead and DMB categorized together? Radiohead runs circles around DMB -AND- PHISH in the studio and structured-creatively. Pink Floyd part 2 to summarize briefly.
# 3 Most Phishheads = Non-Deadheads ... Why do you think both bands toured at the same time this summer, and both had different followings?
# 4 Their songs are 4 minutes to 60 minutes long. BECAUSE they play their 'poppy' type songs standardly, and their structured/composed songs improvisationally. This is the essence of Phish and Jambands in general, and the SOLE reason why people come to hear this music.
I'm done

Someone actually complained about 20-min songs!?
I don't know about the rest of you but if i am listening to a good groove I don't want it to end. The longer the better!!!
I just recently got into Phish. My favorite song so far is Gumbo. Can any one recomend some of their best cd's.
I have "A live one", and a show in Japan (i forget the name).

Ok, post up some lyrics then 
"I can't describe the feeling when
I'm in my bed asleep and then
I wake up with a vision blurred
And all my efforts are detered
To reconstruct this image lost
There're certain things my mind must do
and even though they're very few
The image glistens like a gem
Repairing is not one of them
So I'm awake though in my mind
The image thats so unrefined
is calling to me from the deep
and tempting me to fall asleep"
Phish - Sleep

Phish sound like a thousand dancing flamingos when I am ripped.
I am not a big fan of the studio albums but I do love them a lot. I mostly listen to live recordings. I am mostly a deadhead so it took me a while to break into the whole phish thing. I used to think of them as some what silly but it sort of lightened me up because its not so serious. Its pretty cool when fishman plays the vacume.

"the tires are the things on your car that make contact with the road, the car is the thing that takes you back to your abode"
CONTACT
Some of the lyrics are absurdly hilarious.
The music is JAM BAND. I never listen to a band that could play an entire set without stopping in between songs, THAT I DIDN"T LIKE.
I still prefer some vintage Dead from 68/69/73/77. But I have an irrational fixation on the voice, and guitar of Jerry Garcia. RIP

hey, you like whatever you like. I just don't think they're talented, a lot of their songs sound like it could've been written by a grade school teacher.
You just displayed your lack of knowledge about music. I don't expect everyone to get phish. Thats why they have bands like DMB and Radio Head. For you non-music folk.
In my experience people like you are close minded about types of music because of social conditioning rather than "taste".
or he/she could just not like the band.

well there's a difference between not liking a band, and not recognizing talent in an instrument or in music.
Phish obviously are talented musicians, and much of their music is highly complex, in melody, harmony and especially in rhythm. Some stuff Trey plays i couldn't even attempt.
You can not like a band, that's perfectly cool-your taste.
But to overlook talent in any genre or form is ignorance, or lack of knowledge of skill in musicianship.

was! Honestly. 'How could so many people like this

I heard a live mp3 after that and it sounded about

lol dude...
This is why people like Phish
