Phish Dropping Halloween Hints

Phish recently updated their Festival 8 website with a brand new Halloween game. For those of you dying to know which album the boys will cover during their Halloween set, just log on to the site and view the 100 potential albums. As the festival approaches, more and more albums will be eliminated. Frankly, I'd be surprised if they announced the cover album through their website. It's more likely that the boys will leave a couple of albums for people to ponder over. So far six different albums have been killed: Medeski, Martin & Wood’s Shack-Man, Tom Petty’s Damn The Torpedoes ,The Who’s Who’s Next, Huey Lewis And The News’ Sports, The Velvet Underground and Nico’s self-titled album and Leonard Cohen’s I’m Your Man.

Here's Back In 15 Minutes' top 5 picks for albums I would love Phish to cover at Festival 8 (in no particular order):
1. Blind Faith - Blind Faith
2. The Band - The Band
3. The Rolling Stones - Exile On Main Street
4. Steely Dan - Pretzel Logic
5. Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
