...  Oh and I love radiohead, but am I the only one that thinks that would bomb if phish attempted kid a?

I definitely agree that it has the highest bomb-potential of any album remaining.  Which further proves everything I was just saying.   It will challenge Phish.  It\'s high-risk high-reward.  It\'s the gutsiest call they could make.  

Do I actually think it would bomb in the end?  No.  I trust Phish to pull it off.  And I trust the crowd to know that Radiohead is a great band, that great rock albums have been made after the 70\'s.  I think the bomb risk is probably 20% if they play this album, which is much higher than any other album on the list, but still the bomb is not likely.

I don\'t know how the hell Phish would pull of playing Radiohead. I think it would be somewhat of a farce.

Jimi, they could do. The Wall, they could do better and add a few cool covers to the perma-rotation.

Although, I think that this has the biggest bomb threat, I think that there are some other albums that would bomb because of the vocals alone  I think that they can get away with a one-off of these artists, but I don\'t think that they can handle an album of vocals:

Led Zeppelin | Zeppelin I
Metallica | Master Of Puppets
Michael Jackson | Thiller
Nirvana | Nevermind
Rage Agaist The Machine | Evil Empire

I also think that the crowd would be bored as fuck if they covered the Miles Davis album with only two tracks on the record...

Does this mean they\'ll cover a phish album or just be playing a post phish show?

Blind Faith just bit the dust...

Exactly.  When you look deeper into it and consider every angle, you realize that it is the most challenging album on the list.

Anyhow, it\'s gonna get axed any second.  Phish is one of the bravest bands ever, but they\'re not brave enough to do Kid A.  No way.

i hope it\'s MGMT just because i want to see all those PTers get all pissed. i think it would be cool to hear as well...but reason #1a is to piss off the fans.
