Phish are, in fact, an awful lot of fun, and super talented musically, to boot (correct me if I'm wrong, but I think most of the members of the band have advanced degrees in music). The laundry list of their escapades just gets longer and longer - let's see...playing the *entire* Beatles's 'White Album' in concert (every Halloween, they dress up like another band - recently including the Who, the Velvet Underground, and others...), a barbershop quartet version of Lynyrd Skynyrd's Freebird, a version of Also Sprach Zarathustra for guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, and vacuum cleaner, a version of Hanson's 'mmmBop' in the style of James Brown...the list goes on and on. But what of their own songs? As I said, jamming tunes, silly lyrics, a truly jolly vibe. I promise it's impossible to listen to them and not end up in a good mood.
