Shit
Kevin Long
when I think "boring" I think of these guys and Joy Division
Chase Campbell
like them, terrapin station is cool
Isaac Thomas
is this bands name a jojo reference?
Asher Peterson
Serious amounts of drugs only make them halfway worth listening to and I'm a fan.
Robert Price
Fucking terrible.
Really?
Jayden Garcia
yes
Easton Parker
Literal dad rock
David Adams
Workingman's Dead is fantastic. American Beauty, From the Mars Hotel, Europe 72, and most of the Dick's Pick's volumes are very good as well. I can take or leave most of their other stuff though.
Michael Hernandez
I KNEW THE GRATEFUL DEAD SINCE 1966, WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?
David Parker
Blues For Allah is a great record
Jason Rivera
They are a pleb version of the Allman Brothers Band.
This one song blows everything the Dead did away
Gavin Jackson
I love them. I've been jamming to Dick's Picks Vol. 4 and the recently officially released Cornell 5/8/77 show. I recently started smoking cigarettes. My virgin nicotine receptors really get me fired up while I'm crossing the Chesapeake Bay Bridge on a beautiful summer day with white puffy clouds and blue skies and I'm listening to the Dead. When they play well, on a good night with lots of energy and chemistry and beautiful ideas in the solos and all that, it's some of the best shit - but they weren't always on a good night.

you guys are fucking wishy-washy faggots
yes i love the fucking dead, probably my favorite band ever. i was just looking for new shit when i first listened to them, i expected it to be boring, stupid "dad rock" that celebrated images of dumb hippies and white trash
but HOLY fucking shit i was wrong. live/dead was my first record by them and it completely blew my fucking mind and kickstarted a borderline obsession with listening to everything they put out.
i'm especially fond of the early 67- about 71 era, anthem of the sun and aoxomoxoa being my favorite studio albums. their studio shit is vastly underrated, if they hadn't also been such a revolutionary and incredible live band, most of their studio shit would be considered classic now. everything up to terrapin station is gold, and even in the dark isn't half bad.
shows wise i'm especially fond of the fillmore shows live/dead was culled from (they were always in their element at the fillmore), DP 8, DP 12, DP 16, DP 22, DP 33, and anything recorded in 69/70

I hear about them all the time, yet I've never heard a single song, not even a cover.
Elijah Bailey
Jason Allen
Their live psychedelic jams can be great but anything that has that trucker-rock vibe goes immediately into the trash.
Daniel Wright

we are not a jam band. we are a band who jams. - Greg Allman
Bentley Bell
Everything that's bad about jam bands and Americana wrapped up in one boring package. The have no soul and make me feel nothing.
Lincoln Young
>if you posted whipping post i'd agree with you
but Mt. Jam is true sonic brilliance...like a peice of classical music with movements etc...truly a piece of art...
but since you asked
Samuel Jackson
dubs for truth.
Bentley Fisher
Best. Band. Ever.
The catalogue is so huge and varied, plus all the live show recordings - enough music to last a lifetime. Current favourite track (it'll be different tomorrow), Jack Straw, Europe '72 version:

Josiah Ward
>they have no soul
Nathaniel Ross

Christian Reed
American Beauty is a fantastic album
Overall they're OK
imo, Jam bands are for live entertainment only.
Nolan Hughes
showing you have shit taste
Jeremiah Richardson
The Grateful Dead are the most defining American band. I too fell for the "I'm too cool to listen to stupid hippie bands lmao @ yr dad" for the longest time, and when I finally decided to give them a listen I absolutely loved it. The 1-13 download series are great
