TTE Holds Early Lead As Least Favorite In a recent poll on Phish.net, one of Phish's new 2009 songs, "Time Turns Elastic", held out an early lead that remained remarkably stable at around 34%. The response options for the poll were those named (derisively) at least three times in a months-old forum thread titled "Worst Phish Song". The poll was closed after two weeks and 3,832 unique voters, with this final tally: Time Turns Elastic 34% (1,315 votes), Jennifer Dances 22% (843 votes), Big Black Furry Creature from Mars 14% (545 votes), Prince Caspian 7% (273 votes), Windora Bug 7% (272 votes). Dinner and a Movie 6% (238 votes), Sparkle 5% (192 votes), and Foam 4% (154 votes). Threads in the Phish.net forum and in earlier news comments suggest hope that TTE will evolve as a platform for jamming; others, however, note songs that used to be jamming platforms but have subsided - see the new sidebar poll, on those songs.
