I knew you would say them. But one follower is not mainstream. Wouldn't you agree?

Phish has one of largest followings of any band in the country if not the largest.

Someone please name a SINGLE band who influenced the modern music festival more than Phish.

I honestly don't know numbers wise, but those seem to be the ones that are the most mainstream.

Arguing with Phish fans puts me off of the band.

At the start of this thread, after reading the article, I was planning on listening to them when I get home today.

Now, not so much.

Or maybe Biggie and Tupac. whoever it is, without a doubt they are not a rock band.
