well im a page late and we cant quote here but anyway - jam bands definitely suck but i think phish are prolly the best one cause they ripped off zappa/genesis/yes/these guys instead of just the dead and folk shit. i mean do you really like dave matthews or blues traveler more than phish?



overall very boring group but reba and some of the shit on junta is good and i do like their cover of this album. ive listened pretty extensively cause i know a million "phans" irl so ive given em a chance but yeah its pretty zzz stuff

oh and yeah i dont think of zappa as a "jam band" there's never been anyone who just went to a zappa concert strictly for "the party" but yeah he played a different show every night and he jammed hard but i mean, hell dinosaur jr changes their set and sometimes solos a little longer than you'd expect but they aint jam rock, dig?

"i mean do you really like dave matthews or blues traveler more than phish? "



Good point, but I'm subjected to them far less... and Phish also managed to piss off Ween by playing their song "Roses Are Free" in a shitty generic jam band style so often that people started to think it was an original Phish song ugh

Exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself.

True, but it doesn't really work vice versa. The majority of Ween fanatics hate Phish, it's kind of like how huge Zappa fans tend to hate Phish even though Phish fans seem to love Zappa...



"but yeah most "phans" are dumbass teens anyway so they even think talking heads/led zep/etc are phish originals. nothin we can do about it"



That's depressing, at least the Phish fans I know aren't that bad

the melodies are faaaar more catchy on 77 and the tracks are shorter and more dynamic while this album is so slow and subtle. not saying it's worse, just surprised that the mainstream digs this more

maybe it's because of the iconic cover which eats 77.

yeah I think 77 deserves more love too. Remain in Light and 77 are my 2 favorite records by these guys easily

I should revisit 77 but I think that I pretty heartily prefer the four albums after it
