Top Ten Best Phish Songs
I was looking for a list that had something to do with the band Phish, and I did not find one!
So finally, I'm putting up a list on TheTopTens so that those who love Phish as much as I do can sleep comfortably at night knowing that a list is on its way.
-
Stash
The guitar solo is ridiculous. I love it, and the snapping just makes it so much catchier. Overall, an amazing Phish song.
One of the most creative artistic endeavors of the last century, hands down!
My stash reeks. I need a charcoal bag.
-
Run Like an Antelope
Phish are the best improvisers in music history. Their live shows are incredible!
I need to see them. I cannot die a happy man until I see Phish.
Great to run to. I saw running antelopes and signs along the NYC marathon course.
Just a personal favorite. Always jams.
-
The Lizards
No Phish songs made my Top 50 song list (composition and improvisations included are another story entirely) except for "Lizards," "Possum," and "Mike's Song."
To me, 4/16/92 features the definitive versions of all of these tunes.
-
You Enjoy Myself
My favorite when I first listened to A Live One CD in 1995, and it's still my favorite.
Great time changes, and it's worth listening to the first 16 minutes to get to the great high-note singing.
YEM is amazing. The complex intro and catchy rhythm.
This song is the essence of Phish and defines them as a band in one song.
This is the band's anthem. Period.

Sample in a Jar
Just saw Phish at Hampton Coliseum two weeks ago, and I think I was peaking during that song.
-
Harry Hood
You can feel good about Hood.
Hood jams are the best!
Where do you go?
-
Maze
-
Slave to the Traffic Light
The perfect Phish tune - a beautiful masterpiece.
It's their building, sprawling masterpiece.
This song is all of Phish in one.
-
Reba
Hard to choose one, but it's definitely between Reba, Harry Hood, and Run Like an Antelope. It is for me, anyway.
Stash? No way. Overall, the list is pretty good.
The lyrics almost remind you of a nursery rhyme, but when they break the barrier after the vocals, beautiful things tend to happen.
Love the way it just winds and twists away into a million conceivable musical ideas. One of their best studio epics.

Can I live while I'm young!?!?

Bouncing Around the Room
How can you not feel like a child in a remarkable new world when you hear this song?
It's more than amazing.
Caribbean vibes. I love it.
-
Farmhouse
This is the song that made me fall in love with Phish!
There's nothing I can say but... it's so good!
One of those songs you can listen to over and over again and never get tired of.
This should be number one.

Bathtub Gin
"We love to take a bath!" - Most fun fan chant ever.
-
Fluffhead
-
Wilson
-
Tweezer
Tweezer is a solid jam vehicle. I totally love all of the other songs, but Tweezer is a gem in a setlist and can go to great places when being jammed.
Reba, Bag, and Guyute would be in my top 5.
Tweezer is the Phish jam!
-
David Bowie
Why is this song so low? Top 5 for sure! And why is YEM at the bottom?
And where is The Divided Sky? Come on, people, you're leaving out the best work of Phish.

Rift
-
Wolfman's Brother
-
The Divided Sky
-
AC/DC Bag
My favorite Gamehendge-related song so far. Imagine my shock when I found out the title wasn't in reference to niche pieces of AC/DC merch. I still plan to get a real AC/DC bag for the memes.
