Last week, Rolling Stone asked readers to vote for the album they would like Phish to cover on Halloween. These are the results:
1. Radiohead – OK Computer
2. My Bloody Valentine – Loveless
3. David Bowie – The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars
4. Radiohead – In Rainbows
5. Guns n’ Roses – Use Your Illusion I
6. Guns n’ Roses – Use Your Illusion II
7. Aerosmith – Toys in the Attic
8. The Allman Brothers Band – At Fillmore East
9. Boston – Boston
10. Frank Zappa – Joe’s Garage: Acts I,II & III
11. Tool – Aenima
12. Michael Jackson – Thriller
13. The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Are You Experienced?
14. The Who – Who’s Next
15. Yes – Fragil
The consensus seems to be Radiohead's "OK Computer". Not my first pick, but nonetheless, Phish would do an excellent job covering it. As Rolling Stone points out, Fetival 8 with coincide with the 25th anniversary of the release of Prince's "Purple Rain", from which Phish has covered the title track in the past. Great prediction. But, the fact that Rolling Stone is predicting it should be reason enough for Phish not to do it. Regardless, speculation is heavily underway and I can honestly say I haven't been this excited for Halloween since I was...five. Click HERE, to read the Rolling Stone article. Below is a video from Phish's '96 Halloween show (musical costume, Talking Heads "Remain in Light") at the Omni in Atlanta, GA.

I was checking the different covers, well it's a hard decision, all of then are cool for a day like Halloween, but in my opinion definitely Tool – Aenima.
