    My friend wants me to get 'em some Phish songs, I don't know the band at all, only heard like 2 songs. Any suggestions on which songs or albums are "must have" ?

    Thanks.

    I think <I>Billy Breathes</I> is by far their most non-Phish fan-friendly album.

    Don't forget Oysterhead.

    Guitar = Phish
    Bass = Primus
    Drums = The Police

    A Picture of Nectar is by far the most radio friendly album they have, very cool, not too weird.

    Nectar is my favorite, Lawn Boy is another old but good one.

    A Live One is a good bet to get a taste of what they sound like in concert.

    bouncin round the room(?) is a good song.


    theres also a song i heard like ten years ago that goes like....

    " the wheels are the things on your car that make contact with the road...."



    as for albums, Billy Breathes, I agree, is a good one to start with.

    Ahh Contact.. Great song! I'm a bonafide Phish head.. I've seen 25 shows now.. I guess each person has their favorites.. My favorite albums are:

    Lawn Boy
    Story of the Ghost
    Farmhouse
    Picture of Nectar
    A Live One
    Junta
    Hoist

    I could probably go on. As far as non-phan friendly tunes go, I really think Farmhouse or Story of the Ghost offer some good radio friendly songs..
