I'm curious if there are any people that do not smoke marijuana or exercise some kind of substance abuse that actually like this band and are fond of their music? I've tried extremely hard to "get into" their music, but I can't help but not like their music at all. Yes, I realize their not a band anymore, but I still would like some answers, thanks.

I like a few of their songs, but I don't really care for the band. Like you, I never could "get into" the music.

Phish sucks. Always have, always will. Whenever I see Trey around town I give him the finger.

I do not smoke pot, but Phish is ok. It's not great music to really get into, but it's good to play while chilling or doing some work. It's nice, mellow, relaxing stuff. But not the kind of stuff I would actively listen to, as it's just not that interesting.

:music:

Never ever saw the Northern Lights.
Never ever really heard of cluster flies
Never ever saw the stars so bright.
In the farmhouse things will be alright.

My roommate from 1st year uni. was into them. I got to like a couple of their songs but.. not many.

Mind you, he also largely intro'd me to Pink Floyd among other bands, for which I will always owe him greatly!

That's about my take too. I like several of there songs in small doses. Expecially when I'm just trying to relax.

Having said that... They're die hard in the fact that they'll play 3, 2 hour sets. They certainly put on a lengthy show and are talented... You get a lot of music for the money. However, it starts to blend together naturally without the use of drugs after a while. It gets old fast.

Lets film you dancing and see how good you look.

I used to like phish (and I dont smoke pot) but only a couple of their songs. Now I have listened to them too much (the few songs) that I dont care for them much anymore.

he looks like hes doing pretty good to me

and not everyone who listens to them are drug useing hippies i know plents of straight sober peopel who love their music

Trey is one of teh most amazing guitarists ive ever seen and the fact that they put on one of the best shows ever is great as well

also no matter when or where they play they will draw like 50 thousand people to the show, the are/wer the Greatfull Dead of our generation

If you think that dancing is stupid, you have yet to see "hardcore" dancing. Trust me.

Um yes...I enjoy their music and have not done any "substand abuse" for many years (well except alcohol). Their music is just fun and the atmosphere around it is fun (although all about being lazy too...which gets old after a while).

You may just not like the music...no need to try if you don't like it. I don't try to like country music...I just know I never will.

Phish rocks my world and I only wish I had the facilities to have Trey's babies. Their live show is nothing short of amazing and their studio work is pretty damn good too.
I mean, like all music it's really something that one is either into or not into, but for what it's worth, probably all of my musically inclined friends wonder why everyone does not think Phish is the bee's knees.

I'd like to see a video of you doing better, especially at a public concert. :roll:
