I consider '98 to be one of Phish's best years, and I don't know many who would disagree with me. If I had to throw together a list of years where Phish was especially fucking awesome (my opinion only of course) in no particular order, I'd go '93, '95, '97, '98, '03, '12. Those are my most-listened to years at least.[/quote]

Of all the years you just listed, '98 would fall towards the back of the pack. And yes, how do you not include '94? Which swings back to my original point. Not that '98 is "bad"-- it jsut lacked any noticeable growth/evolution which had marked the previous 4-5 years.
