While you may not like their style of lengthy, improvisational music jams, that band is talented beyond imagination—every member is a master at their main instrument and damn capable on numerous others— and all contribute to writing.

Learn about them and how they are still the same four members after 35 years, and about their daily practice sessions and work ethic...it is quite interesting.

Blindly saying “they suck” shows you have never really listened to anything they have done—if you had, you would at least recognize the talent, even though their type of music may not be your flavor.

Not true, some bands just suck. Phish is one.

They suck


I don’t get how people can pay money to sit and listen to someone play for 3 hours straight of just songs that never end and they all sound the same

Since '95, I've taken nearly a dozen first-timers to a Phish show, including this past Friday, none of them having a musical collection to prepare them for what to expect, and none of them "looking the part" of the low hanging fruit stereotypical Phish fan. After the shows, all of them were more than eager to see them again. That's all the confirmation I need.

As for Stern, he was a game-changer in the industry, and there's no denying it...but these days, he's one of the last people who should be shitting on anyone.

My love for Phish and Stern ended back in the early 2000s. I tried listening to Howard last week while traveling and it’s unbearable.

As for Phish. Talented but I haven’t liked anything since Story of the Ghost.

Some of us have not forgotten how the Phish Bishes tried to destroy the board, acting like teenyboppers in the Donny Osmond Fan Club c. 1972

You can only enjoy Phish on drugs. If you’re sober, they suck. If you’re drunk, they might suck. If you’re high, they’re decent. If you eat mushrooms, they are the greatest band of all time, man!!!
