Another tough album to pick a favorite, I think I have to go with “Taste” however, that track seems to stand out to me.
Soooooooo hard, probably Billy Breathes.
Either Talk, or Cars Trucks Buses. Page is the Shit!!!
Train Song or Character Zero…Zero blew my mind the first time I heard this.
Prince Caspian. Controversial choice? Maybe, but I loved the C.S. Lewis book as a kid, and it is the perfect ending for the album to my ears.
I love BILLY BREATHES…it’s such a cool tune.
Nobody mentioned “Theme from the Bottom”!!!
maybe you feed from the bottom… but i feed on that good top stuff.
Gotta say Waste! Cought my ear when I heard it on a live tape and it’s the reason I bought Billy Breathes. My 1st phish album. Too bad I was caplable of knowing what Phish was earlier.
To me, “Theme from the Bottom” is a better song - both musically and lyrically - than “Taste.”
Oh sorry ghost, I didn’t mean it like that. I love Theme too, just making a smart ass comment (did you ever notice how difficult it is to show sarcasm through typing?)
It’s quite all right. Yes, it is extremely difficult to show sarcasm using only type. I love “Taste” as well!
“Theme From The Bottom” is an absolute masterpiece. If you don’t buy it on the studio album, check out the 7/26/99 Deer Creek version and you will believe.
This is a tough one as well. I will have to say “taste”.
WOW i dont believe anyone has said two of the ones ive had in my head. I love Train Song and Prince Caspian. But really any of them will do.
All are good, for the most part. Two faves. Waste, becuase my wife and I started living together when this first came out, and we used to drink wine and watch the fire while listening to this album. Romance…
Cars, Trucks, and Buses is my favorite Page song, no doubt.
I’d have to lean towards Character Zero. those opening lyrics are the shit, and I love how it rocks. But I do love Train song (the version that got me lovin it was the Nurmeburg Germany show in 96 when it debuts and they dedicate it to the phans who followed them around Europe on the rails)
gotta be character zero, fun as hell to play on guitar, the build up after the intro is great
Waste then Character Zero.
Character Zero is one of my favorite Phish songs of all time, but #2 I totally gotta go with Theme from the Bottom, I think its just such an amazing song. BIlly Breathes is also awesome. There Balad songs are done really well without too much cheese. however i think waste is very cheesy but i still enjoy it from time to time
