I've only ever heard two Dead songs I like--"A Touch of Gray" and "Casey Jones." And Warren Zevon's cover of "Casey Jones" is better than the original.
Muncie Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 great song to go with a Sunday morning cup of coffee in these times. but I enjoy listening to the Grateful Dead. The Dead channel is the #1 preset on the radio in the car - lots of extended concert recordings that are better than what plays on regular broadcast radio,
espo Posted April 5, 2020 Posted April 5, 2020 Like so many artist, either you like it or you don't. Can depend on the music you grew up with or your social group would listen to. Being a certain age can help in this case also. I rest my case.

I'm much more of a Pink Floyd fan, which can also be an acquired taste. Steve
stavanzer Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 We're Grateful, They're Dead. That said, I do like Touch of Grey.
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Never mind. Edited April 6, 2020 by Ace-Garageguy
peteski Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 LOL, not a fan either, but I've been told that to truly enjoy their music it helps to inhale some of those funny cigarettes (or now, edibles). Pink Floyd works better for me, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and many others. All of those had their "drug days" too, so it is not like I'm singling out the "Dead".
WigWag Workshop Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Right Arm! I seen them over 20 times. I must admit, I am not in to all that Hippy Dippy stuff, just love the groove. -Steven

Na, didn't need to be in outer space to enjoy some of their music. Like you said they all seemed to pass through that stage in their music. They are all just pieces of that great puzzle of Rock Music. I have most of the Grateful Deads music but reduced it down to two CD's I put together of my favorites. Had many chances to attend their concerts but never did, just wasn't my scene. Pink Floyd and Lead Zepplin are two more of my favorites along with Buffalo Springfield.
stavanzer Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 For me, musical escape groups are Def Leppard, Yes (the whole album 90125) and the Talking Heads.

I like those too. To be honest, I don't have a single favorite band. How about Supertramp? I couldn't just pick one - I like bunch of various bands and types of music. Just having one favorite wound be too restrictive. The way I feel about music is maybe like potatoes. I like many types of potato dishes and couldn't pick just one as a favorite. I like them mashed, French fries, breakfast potatoes, hash browns, baked, potato chips, and the list goes on. I couldn't (and don't want to) just pick one favorite. I like them all equally!

The more I listen to them, the more I like. Their songs have purpose, and are more than just guitar power chords. I'm maybe one of the biggest hippys you'll meet, but I never cared for the Dead's music..... Too folk'ish for me..... I DO however like what they stood for, and the fact that they let free music out to the fans.......
Roadrunner Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 Yep, Supertramp was awesome. I had four or five of their CD's, and loved them all.
JollySipper Posted April 7, 2020 Posted April 7, 2020 Mr. Holt...... is your user name "OldTrucker" because you used to drive a truck, or because you are a DeadHead?
