So I was compiling a list of Ballads off the top of my head and came
up with the following:

Horn
Waste
The Horse/Silent in the Morning
Let me Lie
Joy
Fast Enough for You
Lifeboy
If I could
Bittersweet Motel
Dirt
Billy Breathes
Brian and Robert
Strange Design

First of all did I miss anything and secondly what would you top 3 be?

Mine:

Waste
Let me Lie
Fast Enough for You

Wow, from a pure song perspective, I can't choose a top 3. About 7 or
8 favs in that list. However, there are three Phish ballads that have
a deep personal meaning to me, so I'll list those three as my favs in
no particular order.

- Bug
- When the Circus Comes To Town (breaking the rules here)
- Swept Away

I remember one night 17 years ago wile shrooming with a small group of
friends at home, I played nothing but Phish ballads for a couple
hours. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed it.

PS Gotta admit I didn't get Eliza off the top of my head. I knew it
was 2nd track on Nectar, but had to look.

PSS Weekapaug. haha.

Nice looks like we have a decent list for an RMP poll. Where can we
set up an internet poll?

Does Lawn Boy really constitute a ballad or a cheezy lounge lizard
crooner?

Wait, was this asking what our favorite ballad is, or just asking to
list ballads? If so, Jennifer Dances is at the bottom.

Horn or FEFY at top.

Hmmm, I just don't consider that a ballad. Nope. Lounge, baby,
lounge.

And Billy Breathes, strictly the studio version though. Not crazy
about it live.
