- MichaelGG 11y agoPretty sure a lot of the attraction of Phish is when using psychedelics. So if you just tried to play some of their songs normally then it might not have the same impact.
- bitwize 11y agoHope you don't live in New England. Phish are gods here; publicly disliking them is very nearly grounds for lynching.
- aidenn0 11y agoI never noticed that in Rhode Island, though I've only been back there for brief visits in the past decade.
- corndoge 11y agoYeah, but at least you become able to acknowledge and understand (if not through direct experience) why other people like music you don't. Plus i've found that dropping a lot of my judgemental attitudes towards music resulted in a much larger breadth of material to listen to since I didn't hate myself for listening to it.
- WalterBright 11y agoI finally admitted my uncool like for 1960's easy listening music. I have quite a collection of it now, bought from thrift stores and ebay. I enjoy inflicting it on people who still believe it is uncool.
- brightsize 11y agoBrasil 66 is great stuff. :-)
- WalterBright 11y agoGot me some of that. And also Conniff, Mantovani, Kaempfert, Jackie Gleason, etc. A regular low treatment of that will keep the kids off your lawn. And the coolest (!) thing about easy listening is you rarely have to pay more than $.50 for an album of it. It's almost as if people are trying to get rid of their grandparents' albums!
- hockeybias 11y agoWith you on phish, but I had unrealistic expectations as they had been overly hyped to me ..And I wanted to hear something 'Scarlet Begonias'-esque in them due to my fondness of another band. :)
