Yeah. Thanks. As I said when I did college radio, there were Phish fans. Their musical influence and their net were not cast very wide, however.
They may be your favorite band, that's great, the discussion is whether they should be in te hall of fame. And the vast, vast, vast, majority of people could not name one Phish song.

Classics. Ahem.
The vast majority of people cannot name one Lou Reed song.
Most people I know (that are not Phish fans) can name a song.
Both of those statements mean nothing.

How is Joe Cocker not in the HoF???
When all is said and done more is said than done.
I will never understand people that say phish is a dead copycat.
They sound absolutely nothing alike.
Trey sounds more like Les Dudek or Santana than Jerry.
"People tend to know everything or nothing."
Yes. Precisely.
The people who love them, LOVE them. Most people don't love them because most people have no idea who they are.
The people who know who Pavement are the ones who know Alex Chilton, who wear ironic glasses, wear pea coats and scarves....its hipster music. A Village Voice critic, yes. Exactly. A Village Voice critic would love Pavement and be the exact person to overrate them, while drinking $7 coffee.
Decade defining, that's great. Let me tell you something, the band of that decade was Nirvana and it ain't close.
And that's absolutely fine. But it's hard to make a case for the hall of fame based on a band that nobody's listening to. I doubt if they've sold a million records for their career.
They would be the 2 PM inductee into the hall, and the bands that all their fans make fun of would be in prime time.
I love them and yet I'm not on here campaigning for them to be in the hall.
Well Lou Reed is another one who is overrated, but it's like talking to Yankee fans.
Who is hall worthy in your opinion?
I am sensing you think everyone is overrated, other than Guns N Roses, of course.
Hey at least people outside those who read Bret Easton Ellis knows who they are lol....
There is absolutely nothing wrong with some smack talk when it comes to music.

Who is making a case?
I think a HOF for music is in essence ridiculous, it's like a HOF for painters, subjective and biased based on personal taste.
That said I'll listen to my music and enjoy the crap out of it for the rest of my life, that's my HOF, the only one that matters

There you go being spot on again.
You are actually correct and for art, it's impossible to have a hall of fame with defined criteria...because it means different things to different people.
I am just rattling the cage lol..

Their sound isn't the point; their whole career path has been constructed to attract Deadheads. I don't mind their sound, but if that were all there was to them, they wouldn't be in the conversation. Their identity revolves around their being the New Dead.
I parked in front of an indy bookstore today while doing Christmas shopping, and the car in front of me had both a Phish sticker and the classic DeadHead sticker on the back, along with several political/cultural stickers. This is pretty typical, and that's fine. My point is that the band has forged an identity which depends largely on the identity of another band, and they have also created a following that imputes what I think is a borrowed gravitas to the group.
