I have never actually tripped to dead, although I imagine i'd enjoy Aoxomoxoa and Workingman's Dead. Discuss

I have never actually listened to them while tripping. Workingman's Dead is a good album. I would imagine Skeletons from the Closet would be a excellent album to listen to. The Beatles though, listening to Magical Mystery Tour on mushrooms is a experience. Also Jimi Hendrix Experience "Are You Experienced?" is a great album. Of course Pink Floyd "Dark Side of the Moon" but I classify that more as a stoner album than anything else. Some good watches are Pink Floyd's "Live at Pompeii" and Pink Floyd's "Pulse". Documentaries about musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain are also good watches.

Oh how could I forget Terrapin station.. I really like the idea of tripping to the actual song called Terrapin Station pt 1 but never really listened to the rest of the album too intently.

um, none of them... i'd put on a live show instead... most likely something from '73 or '74... sick WRS > Mind Left Body > TOO > Spanish Jam > Stella era shit...i love me some Mickey, but the Dead were better when it was just Billy the K holdin' it down back there... more space between the notes for the head to wander...

I have a neighbor who is a tapehead. He lent me a copy of my dad playing bass with the Grateful Dead. My dad has also played with Jimi Hendrix and he was a studio musician doing sessions for most of his career. He's on a million hit songs and records. He is one of three bass players on Walk on the Wild Side by Lou Reed. He helped to inspire me to take psychedelic drugs. So did my mom. My main inspiration though was my friend Louis who turned me onto the Beatles in college. He was a shroomhead.

maybe Ive consistently gotten bad songs but every time I tried listening to grateful dead I just cant turn it off fast enough.
never tried listening to them on lsd, that may be a different story.

They are definitely an acquired taste in my opinion. Same with Frank Zappa. You should start off listening to songs like Touch of Grey, St. Stephen, High Time, Dark Star. Their live stuff will probably not appeal until you understand them as musicians. They definitely did some solid songs though. I would still say The Beatles are the best band for mushrooms and Shpongle (namely Tales of the Inexpressible) is the best group for LSD but that is just my opinion.

Aoxomoxoa was what I used to acquire my taste for the Dead - since then i've been hooked.
edit: Shpongle has always been a bit too intense for me during trips, however, Nothing is Something Worth Doing is the one song I can take..

Yeah - good tripping experiences with that. Actually though, take in a live show. 
Oops, wait, wrong millennium... 
I seem to recall listening to Blues for Allah a time or two while tripping as well - be hard to go wrong there.

I don't particularly know a specific song by the dead to recommend but they were a great band of musicians. Monsters Of Folk may be to your liking if you'd like something more modern.
Also, I just found a band that I fell in love with after hearing only three songs and I strongly urge you and everyone else to check them out! Every member of the band plays several instruments and sings in several different languages and they're all pot smoking, mushroom loving earth worshippers. They're by far the coolest fuckers I've ever seen as I completely envy their lifestyle, not to mention the chick is the hottest thing on this side of the sun. They play what they call is celtic neo-pagan folk music but these fuckers do it all. Some songs are very much Celtic folksy, some are down right rock n roll and I've even heard one song of them playing a beautiful Celtic infused hip hop/rap thing. They're downright inspiring in how cultured, original and dynamic they are. I've never been this enraptured by a band in my life...then again, I just really got into playing music and not just being a listener but they embody my soul, it seems. Check em out..
Omnia is their name!

Haha, yeah. They have a unique style. The talent in that band is ridiculous and they've really inspired me. I play guitar and I've really been wanting to play flute and after seeing how many instruments try can play, well I'm going to get me a flute ASAP. I also love how they are almost completely folk instrument exclusive with the exception of piano and maybe some others. Look into their lifestyle, it's pretty awesome. I mean they play the fuckin jaw harp, bad asses! I might try to take up a bunch of those instruments.
