Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road



@mdubno says:

Odds: 60:1
Phishiest Song: Saturday Night's For Fighting
Comments: Naturally, for Saturday night is the Halloween set.




@ericwyman says:

Odds: 4:1
Phishiest Song: Love Lies Bleeding
Comments: This is Page's album. The crowd can sing along. Elton is an icon. So many great songs.

Genesis - Lamb Lies Down On Broadway

Odds: 13:1
Phishiest Song: In The Cage

@ericwyman says:

Odds: 25:1
Phishiest Song: Chamber of 32 Doors
Comments: Fans may clamor for it, but I don't think they know more than the title. Amazing album but snooze fest for Phish. This is Time Turns Elastic. Page is perfect for 32 Doors though.

David Bowie - Hunky Dory



@mdubno says:

Odds: 15:1
Phishiest Song: Song For Bob Dylan
Comments: If they're going to do Bowie I think they would settle for the path of least resistance and cover Ziggy.


@ericwyman says:

Odds: 40:1
Phishiest Song: Queen Bitch
Comments: Ziggy Stardust seems to have a better flow, but Queen Bitch is another jam in the vein of Rock and Roll. I'd welcome that to the rotation

Outlook good

David Bowie - Ziggy Stardust



@mdubno says:

Odds: 3:2
Phishiest Song: Suffragette City
Comments: This album is the current frontrunner, with tons of Web buzz and even a possibly-fake "8/Spider" merch logo circulating out there. Given that Phish is rumored to have practiced four albums, they might change it up at the last moment away from the "obvious" choice of Ziggy.


@ericwyman says:

Odds: 2:1
Phishiest Song: Moonage Daydream
Comments: Bowie is one of those artists that begs to be honored. Ziggy Stardust is iconic and fans seem to like. Not my pick though.

Rolling Stones - Sticky Fingers



@mdubno says:

Odds: 20:1
Phishiest Song: Can't You Hear Me Knocking
Comments: This album has the "top track" going for it--Brown Sugar starts it off, and there aren't too many more iconic licks than the one at the top of Brown Sugar.


@ericwyman says:

Odds: 3:2
Phishiest Song: Bitch
Comments: MY #1 PICK! Popular money would be on Exile and its double album stature, but this album has the songs everyone knows and doesn't have Loving Cup.

Rolling Stones - Exile On Main St.



@mdubno says:

Odds: 25:1
Phishiest Song: Loving Cup
Comments: This is a really crappy album. Sticky Fingers would be a much better choice.


@ericwyman says:

Odds: 12:1
Phishiest Song: Loving Cup, DUH!
Comments: Exile drags a little, I blame all the heroin. Sticky Fingers is way more fun, critical acclaim be damned."

Van Halen - Van Halen



@mdubno says:

Odds: 40:1
Phishiest Song: Ice Cream Man
Comments: This would be an audacious cover album, but some fun.



@ericwyman says:

Odds: 40:1
Phishiest Song: Runnin With The Devil
Comments: A quintisential rock guitar album. I'm pretty certain Trey leaned Eruption back in 81.

My sources say no

Boston - Boston



@mdubno says:

Odds: 9:1
Phishiest Song: Foreplay/Long Time
Comments: Although the audience will be waiting for "Smokin'"

@ericwyman says:

Odds: 15:1
Phishiest Song: Rock and Roll Band
Comments: Is there a 9 song album out there that the entire audience knows all the words to? This one maybe.

Aerosmith - Toys in the Attic



@mdubno says:

Odds: 8:1

Phishiest Song: Walk This Way

Comments:

@ericwyman says:

Odds: 15:1

Phishiest Song: No More, No More

Comments: I'm a fan of this album, but am I a fan of Aerosmith? Big 10 Inch might be the best Fish song ever.

The consensus?

Outlook good.

Black Sabbath - Paranoid


@mdubno says:

Odds: 40:1

Phishiest Song: War Pigs

Comments: Fishman did a mediocre War Pigs awhile back. He probably didn't get any better at it in the interim.

Pink Floyd - The Wall



@mdubno says:

Odds: 7:1
Phishiest Song: Comfortably Numb
Comments: Been waiting for 15 years for Phish to cover "Run Like Hell"



@ericwyman says:

Odds: 75:1
Phishiest Song: One Of My Turns
Comments: Seems like too much of a production to be considered


@tmwsiy says:

Odds: 20:1
Phishiest Song:
Comments: a great choice, has spots to let each band member shine/ but Darkside done already makes it less likely


The consensus?

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run



@mdubno says:

Odds: 12:1
Phishiest Song: Jungleland
Comments: In concert, Bruce jams out Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out and Phish could also do so. A lot of phans hate Springsteen, actually.


@ericwyman says:

Odds: 8:1
Phishiest Song: Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out
Comments: Wooks aren't the boss' crowd, he's more of a longshoreman type. Still this album sits high in Trey's influences.
