(20,176 posts)In the universal sense, Phish is a terrible band. When one wants to assess the shittiness of other bands, the proper measure of shittiness is the Trey-Anastasio.
For examples, Phish is always one Trey-Anastasio, as is Oysterhead and Trey Anastasio Band because these are bands that Trey Anastasio is in. The Grateful Dead are 0.5 Trey-Anastasios because they are half as shitty and at-least when they were doing it, it was original. Creed is 2 Trey-Anastasios because they are twice as bad.
As a comparative metric, the Trey-Anastasio is roughly-equivalent to one Chuggo. Thus it is equally appropriate to say that Phish is one Chuggo in terms of musical shittiness. Likewise, we can express the value of shittiness for other acts in Chuggos or in Trey-Anastasios. Creed's shittiness is not only two Trey-Anastasios but also two Chuggos.
The record for musical shittiness is held by Sugar Ray, a mid-1990s rap-rock band from Los Angeles, at an astounding 17 Trey-Anastasios.
