    I don't get the infatuation with the Grateful Dead.

    I like them (infact, am wearing a Grateful Dead shirt), but they're not my favorite band.

    ya i know. well, the only album i heard was ''american beauty'' .. the critics all say its their best though.. but after a few listens, i just find its a psychedelic band gone country and bad.

    Yeah they're older stuff (66-69) is best. Especially their Filmore West '68 performance.

    "anthem of the sun" is great, but i also really enjoy "workingmans dead" and "american beauty". other then that and a few live shows, i havent gotten any further into the grateful dead.

    Then delete it. Just a waste of space.

    Eat shit. [​IMG]

    First of all, Stephen Stills is from Texas, lived in Louisiana for some time (worked at a hardware store), and Jerry Garcia played the pedal steel on "Teach Your Children"... [​IMG] And the "fucking country music" sound comes from Jerry Garcia playing banjo before playing guitar. Kinda like how Dickey Betts does in the Allmans, though he leans more towards fiddle-playing. That's also where guys like Chet Atkins got their banjo rolls, though alot of people in the Nashville circuit said he played too much jazz. (Which is one reason why I get him confused with Les Paul... his fretboard runs. Chet eventually became VP of RCA Records)

    Then again, I don't consider the Grateful Dead to be psychedelic.

    Pink Floyd doesn't have as much background, whereas I could probably trace the roots of the Grateful Dead longer than I can imagine...

    I don't get the whole anti-country thing... Kinda funny that your metal bands like Danzig started from a folk song somewhere in Ireland [​IMG]... or some people in Kenya beating a handdrum. And if it weren't for RCA and Dr. Moog, progressive wouldn't be here anyway... and we all know that kinda led to 80s hair ballads... Foreigner, the Nelson brothers (though they're actually really good in person... Ricky Nelson is the shit).

    I don´t know the grateful dead yet, but they seem to have such a big reputation it wouldn´t last very long for me to get to know them.

    that song of pink floyd, shine on. that´s nothing but a masterpiece. one of the songs I can repeat over and over without getting tired of it
