It's a rather simplistic and obvious attempt at baiting...
Regardless, change is coming to the Pub...
Good deal. Serve 'em up Pappy!

i don't "hate" them though...

You'd all like them if you had as much LSD as was around when they were young.

I was honestly in the same boat as the starter of this thread, and they grew on me little by little, and now I love them. BTW, this is coming from a musician.

It also really helps if you've been to a few shows. They were rare and special things. Great people and good times! 
However, it should also be remembered that some people can't appreciate positive fun in a nice social environment with good people. They're just not wired for it. The human race is a diverse group...

It is about the shows and mind enhancement, enjoying yourself and others. I wouldn't expect negative individuals to enjoy it.
Plus you have to go to a show to really understand it.

garcia was a better guitar player than you. believe me. the guy could thrash. i used to hate them and then gave em a chance, now im obsessed. its a music unlike anything else, which is why they created fans unlike any others in music.
more importantly, nobody gives a flying fuck that you dont dig the dead. why is it that every so often some guy feels the need to make a thread exactly like this. NO ONE FUCKING CARES!! music taste is sooo god damn subjective and the dead are loved by enough people you should come to the counclusion they obviously had something you dont get. i dont like TOOL but i do recognize their talent. your thoughts are un-original, take your shit to OTD...

I find that between 1970 and 1980 the dead did some of their best work, and to be honest, they have a decent amount of songs that rock my socks off. Listening to Mississippi Half-Step right now, anyone who says this song sucks, doesn't really know what music is.
If you don't dig the dead, please go back to your acid-eletronica-jazzical-techno-babble-shit, take some E, and die. Thank you very much.

I love the fact that when someone makes a thread bashing some shitty emo or pop band, people jump right in.
When someone criticizes the Grateful Dead, it's suddenly not right?
It doesn't add up to me.

Let me spell it out for you. It's the Pub. 90% of the people like the Grateful Dead. I don't go into the music and art forum, and say that Tool, or Shpongle.. is a crappy band, even though they're not my favorite. Because people like them, and I can recognize talent when I hear it. And it would be pretty pretentious and arrogant of me to go into a forum and bash a band that most of the people there adore. And what's this.. the 500th grateful dead sucks thread in the pub history? People only do it to get a rise out of people. The troll factor. Otherwise they would just keep their opinions to themselves, and not listen to them.
