I donât think you got my point.
I still like the Hampton Fluff better than that Gin. Better than any Gin, in fact. Guess I know nothinâ bout Phish! 
^ yeah, im afraid that statement right there proved that you dontâŚlisten to 6-28-00 gin, id take it over anything from 09 easily and i am big on 09
^My untrained ears probably wouldnât be able to tell the difference. 
TiedâŚcoo
I was very reluctant to post this figuring the best approach would be to ignore itâŚbutâŚ
I wasnât at either of these shows, but I can fully understand the argument for either of these songs being considered the âbest of 2009â. They are both special in their own way.
I donât think anybody can be âwrongâ about what they like. Claiming that somebody doesnât know anything based on their personal preference is ignorant and something that really irks me about a lot of Phish fans.
And you sound like a dick, what the hell? Itâs a fucking game dude, on a message board, about a bandâŚIt almost makes me wish I voted for Fluffhead.
That was my point. 
After a quick lead, Fluffhead took a good uppercut and was down for a two count!
damn, this is a close one. how much longer is this poll open?
Iâll say Sunday night, maybe Monday afternoon.
whoa thereâŚi back the whole personal preference thingâŚall i was trying to say was that i have no idea how someone could take a mediocre fluff over the best gin of the yearâŚi never said anyone isnt entitled to their opinion and i could care less if hampton fluffâd winsâŚremember, all they did was just play fluffhead at hampton, at gorge they actually made something of ginâŚim just wondering how real phishheads dont see that differenceâŚthis isnt a vote for best phish songâŚits best of 09 and i think the bathtub gin was so much more of an example of them stepping up hard than fluffheadâŚall they had to do was learn fluff again and rehearse it and boom there you got a pretty good fluff to open hampton, theres no risk in thatâŚgin was a huge riskâŚthey changed directions a lot and brought to the table some really unique stuffâŚSince ive already heard hampton fluffed like 20 times and heard the significance, I prefer to listen to most other fluffheads from the year namely the two i see live, darien and albany, which i both thought musically were much better than hamptonâŚIâm just confused is all and I guess I was a little harsh with my confusion but I just would of thought for phishheads that I respect like you guys on the board, this woulda be a no brainer for ginâŚIf I didnt know that much about phish I would probably think hampton fluffhead was wayyy better than gorge ginâŚthats the only reason why I said some of the things I said but I guess I can see how I conveyed my point in somewhat of a negative light
What exactly is a âreal phishheadâ, and why do all of their opinions have to be the same?
This guy is a real Phishhead:
(seriously! I searched google images for phishhead and heâs the first thing that came up!)
I had a lil âre-listenâ to one of these last night, and I changed my vote 
a real phishhead is somebody who has REALLY listened to a lot phish from different years and understands the dynamics of the repetoire, the meaning and value of the different types of jams in different places and the significance of the songs (ie a real phishhead would probably be more enthused to hear a mcrgupp at a show than a bouncing around the room)âŚa real phishead has little to do with how many shows youâve seen or which shows youâve seen or how much you worship the bandâŚits about how well you understand the bands music and how its developed over their career, all though having seen more shows obviously helps thisâŚso yes I think there is such thing as a âreal phishheadâ and no I donât think all their opinions are the same but I definitly think there is usually a more likely opinion and in this case I thought it was 100% that gin should take the cakeâŚto conclude, this whole idea of âreal phishheadsâ is just my opinion and yâall dont have to run with it, its definitly not gonna affect your life if I have this self-constructed viewâŚgood luck to both fluff and gin, but its pretty obvious camden sand is gonna take this in the end
I want to become a real phish headâŚ

This all sounds like Fluffhead to me.
They stopped playing the song for years because they forgot how to play it, because they had stopped practicing. Then they come back at Hampton and everyoneâs expectations were hopeful, but cautious. Then they played Fluffhead, an incredibly hard and technical song that fans demanded rabidly for years, and it pretty much soared. The Gin soared as well and theyâre both great, but as far as meaning, yâall know what my vote is. I get chills EVERY time I hear it. I wish I could have been thereâŚ
^Haha!! Love that!! Havenât heard it in yearsâŚ
