the name the grateful dead came from the pleasant "letting go" during ego loss..... the grateful dead is the greatest band that has ever existed, and will ever exist. every single person here has been influenced by them PERIOD. i know it is pointless to argue about this i just felt like i should at least give an opinion.... if you don't like there music then fine i guess... but everyone should respect them and give thanks to them for what they did involving the awaking of our specious ....

So their music transcends time? I listen to music that predates it, and I'm certain that the majority of stuff I listen to had no GD influence. It can be your favorite band, but it doesn't mean it's the greatest band. From an outsider perspective I would assume that The Beatles are far greater, but that doesn't mean you have to like them more. I don't like The Beatles either.

They are not the best band, the greatest, they were just a band like any other guitars, drums, songs etc. But their following has had a great influence on counter-culture in America and has help shaped what it is today. The Grateful Dead was musical outlet for the political 60s almost sometimes it's easier to refer The Grateful Dead as a movement not just a band.
It's all about understanding what has brought us to where we are today. I bet if the dead did not tour and the LSD would have not have been distrobuted as widely as it was and many of you may HAVE NOT EVEN TRIED LSD TODAY if it WERE NOT FOR THE DEAD TOUR. While the music may not be of your liking or that much importance to you the band has done things that have had effect. The Grateful Dead brought together members of counter-culture united under one common band (because what else can we unite under? drugs?) just like Shroomery if I can make that analogy. Some people were not even at Dead shows for the music but just to be around like-minded people which we all knows allows you to reach a comfort unattainable when around a bunch of your opposites.
So really The Grateful Dead was a beautiful event and many associate the music with the beautiful event.. I think with GD it's a love or hate relationship and I'm ALL LOVE.
The Grateful Dead is SOMETHING SPECIAL that KEPT ALIVE THE PSYCHEDELIC AGE THAT THIS BULLETIN BOARD IS BASED AROUND BTW. Maybe some of you pussies always bitching you cant find doses should leave your fucking RAVE and checkout Ratdog tour won't be any shortage there.

I've actually never heard the Grateful Dead before, as far as I know. I guess this will be my first tune.
Yea I unfortunately have been living in a box under my bed for awhile.

as you will notice if you re read my post i didn't say best i said greatest... everyone jumped on that ... what i was talking about is what raw toxic was saying... of course there music does not influence bands that pre date them I'm not an idiot... what i was saying is.. because all of you are hear because of psychedelics... you have all been effected by them. even if you have never herd them. feel me ... what I'm saying is there will never be another band like them or as great as them ever again

Grateful Dead are one of my top 5 favorite bands along with the Beatles, Doors, Pink Floyd, and Flogging Molly(kinda the odd one out of these but they are amazing)

You should probably quit doing drugs.
I haven't been influenced by them in any way shape or form. Not arguing with you, just stating the simple truth.

I don't like them either. I just don't hear what the fuss is about. Different strokes for different folks. It's not like it's compulsory to like the Grateful Dead just because you have an interest in psychedelics.
