This is so tough, but my personal favorites have gotta be Sand, Wolfman's, NICU, Gumbo, Cavern, Stash, Moma Dance (no particular order). As far as live jams go, I'm gonna go with Tweezer, Mike's Groove, Antelope, Bowie, Reba, Divided Sky. Anyone else notice that Ocelot is becoming a killer jam as of 2012??

This is an impossible question. But I really enjoy The Squirming Coil, YEM, and The Divided Sky. But Im a fan of Phish. If your looking from the outside In, Bouncing around The Room and Joy are great works of more standard musical songwriting. But hey you can't go wrong with almost any song IMHO!

FiddleHead Permalink
If I try to think of this "objectively" I'd have to go with Fluffhead.

All of Junta, and most of Lawn Boy, are crucial.

Any conversation should at least include Antelope, Slave, YEM, Bowie, Mike's> Hydrogen> Groove, Hood and Harpua. Probably Divided Sky, Curtain, Reba and Tweezer too. Maybe even Gin, Suzy, Stash, Makisupa and Runaway Jim.

I tend to favor Sloth, Brother, Halley's Comet, Possum, Ya Mar, Foam, Melt, Sanity, Dog Log and BBFCFM. And anything Gamehendge.

Indeeed sir, me as well.

Also the line "Robert Palmer is implored to dance, to dance, to dance" gets me every time=) Can't get enough of it honestly.

Glorious composition - everyone shines, tension and release, silly. Everything Phish is.

SicMD I think it must be either chalkdust torture, lizards, or divided sky........ It must be one of these three with split open and melt or rift as alternates.....

Shukky Permalink
Mine is either Tweezer or the always appreciated Mike's Song < Simple < Weekapaug Groove but this not one song. Too hard to pick because they are always changing for me. I have favorite phish song moods.

SconyMack Permalink
SconyMack It's a very difficult question to answer. But I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand times more. It's gotta be Reba.
Score: 0

Bulletproof Permalink
Bulletproof My top 10 (in no particular order)

The Curtain With
Divided Sky
YEM
Reba
Hood
Billy Breathes
Fluffhead
Guyute
DWD
Esther

Honorable mention:
The Lizards
Mike's Song
Slave
Tube
Coil

All of these songs (and more) rotate through my favorite / best Phish song list. Impossible to choose one, it is.
I feel pretty fortunate to have seen all of my faves live although I'm chasing an electric Curtain With.

4. Harry Hood

BoozyGreenherbs Permalink
BoozyGreenherbs I mean I would probably go out on a limb saying that YEM is the best song written by any band/musician sooo ya i would go with YEM.
Score: 0

TheArgus Permalink
TheArgus My favorite is The Curtain With, but as far as the best, it's gotta be Reba. Heavily composed sections leading into free-form jam with epic potential all led off by nonsensical yet somehow relevant lyrics.

I'l just take peace in knowing that Reba basically stole the "With" jam (after the rift part leading in) and still say that The Curtain With is the biggest titties on this planet and that everything else any other band has ever done ever sounds like 2 fat white guys with small dicks having buttsex on top of a pile of ferrel, rotting, and agonizingly moaning to their death hyenas. And that buttfucking animal death sound is ridiculously auto-tuned.
