First Listen; never really listened to Phish besides Billy Breathes playing in the background on a couple occasions. I listened to At Dawn and It Still Moves again, but I want a little break before listening to Z.

don't start at fuego with phish. its the most recent album, in the third iteration of their 30 year career. I don't think there is another band who really should be experienced via live shows rather than their albums. even the dead put out some really good albums. if you want to start with phish studio stuff, junta, rift, picture of nectar. but I say go right for "a live one" or "slip stitch and pass." these are "official" live releases. see what catches your attention, and then look for shows that have them.
from here you can start getting into the more heady discussions about which era's were best and when trey started getting to self indulgent and when they were just coasting, and when they caught fire again, and where you can score some heady nugs etc. etc.

Yea basically this. Phish can be tough to get into because you need to poke around to find an entry point and it's usually different for everyone.
If you hear a song on an album you like you can check phish.net/song/ for recommended versions of that song. Then just listen to the whole show you pick.

I actually only listened to that album because one of my roommates loves Phish and has been playing Fuego on his rides to/from work recently. But I'd like to start listening to more of their work, I really liked Fuego. Maybe I'll listen to Phish when I get the week off for Thanksgiving (Hallelujah!). Mainly I just wanted a break so I don't listen to too much My Morning Jacket and give my brain time to take it all in lol. I do appreciate the helpful guide though, I'll save this information for later.
I'd never listened to Damien Rice before so I didn't really have any expectations before listening to this, but I'm definitely gonna recommend him to my friends that like Folk-y music. Good stuff Damien Rice, I like it.

Just to prove everyone is so different when it comes to Phish:
In terms of studio albums, I think Story of the Ghost is their best achievement, followed by Fuego. Everyone always picks Lawn Boy or Junta, but really all the songs on those albums came into their own on stage, not in the studio. Ghost and Fuego are both fully realized records, IMO.
But live is still the best. I always recommend the official MSG 95 release as the best way to start Phish. I think it captures the live experience better than any other release.
