I don't like them at all, really. It's just not my bag. I'm more into compositional stuff, jam bands tend to lack a certain something... Like, it has a great sound texture but I dunno

Listen to the song "Ripple". If you cant find a deep appreciation for that song, then you have never truly relaxed or know what it is like to relax.
on a side topic, I am still confused by Neil Youngs fame. I have yet to find an entrance into his music, a perspective to appreciate it from. I just dont get it.
but back to the dead..... yeah, go lay in the grass on a nice sunny day, and listen to that song. There is a good place to begin to be grateful.

Pointless post!
This happens on a regular basis and I don't understand the motivation for people making such a post.
Instead of bashing a band (of which there are many fans of on this board) you don't like why not praise a band you do, or think people might not be aware of.
It would be like me making a posting a post saying I don't like eating cold egg - I accept that some people do, so to criticise it in public is an empty gesture.

Just because someone doesn't appreciate a style of music doesn't mean he can't relax. I don't like Grateful Dead, prefer to relax to psy chill/ambient and psy dub which is by far more relaxing than Grateful Dead

I got a bunch of friends that listen to pretty much nothing but GD. It's cool for a while or on a long trip. But i like my own weird shit. I like weird music with funny or odd lyrics. I like to much music to just listen to GD. Don't get me wrong when i was 21 i listened to shit tones of GD. My tape collection is huge, and there music is never the same twice. If you like jazz, blues, rock, and so on, you will find the Dead pretty damn cool. Musically speaking.

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.

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.

I dont dislike GD, but im usually listening to Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett (his solo stuff), The Doors, The Beatles, or Hendrix. Some of GD's tunes are really chill when baked out of my mind, but nothing can really come close to Comfortably Numb IMO.

Makes perfect fucking sense to me. If you don't get it, then i'm sorry... 
Their name is actually based out of an old folklore in which the spirits of the recently deceased are in limbo. A kind stranger offers the "dead" some tokens so that may enter the afterlife in peace and leave their earthly existence for good. Hence, the "dead" are grateful. But the name can easily take on other meanings too. All of them just as true as the next one.

Actually.....the "Grateful Dead" name was randomly generated when Jerry and some others were looking through a dictionary. They found and put those two random words together and thought it was a good name for a band. I wrote a biography paper on Jerry for a college course and I read that from two different books about him. And Phish and Dead are totally different except that they both improvise....improvised

I swear this is the 5th thread of its kind in the past few months. If you don't like grateful dead, go back to listening to your phish. Each and everyone to their own. I like GD I dislike Phish. Same with you who seem to dislike GD.

My first impulse was to post that the Grateful Dead have kept me sane. Fortunately, I am already sane. 
What the Grateful Dead have done for me is make me love my life and cherish you.

I find GD to be horribly composed, boring, not to mention not as influential as people tend to think. They were just some drugged-out hippie band who happened to come into fame as everyone was wigged on acid. Sometimes, I wish a good band would have had all the hippies following 'em around instead.

I have never liked their music particularly, and the lyrics never really interested me.
Deadheads seem a little over enthusiastic to me... kind of like teen age girls and pop stars... just overly obsessed.
I have my reservations as well as to whether or not they are part of a larger LSD generation Illuminati "psy-op" type of thing involving esoteric cults.

I know many people who know all the members and were seeing the dead in parks before they were even the dead and I can assure you there is no GD conspiracy

I love GD's country rock but find their more psychedelic longwinded songs to be harder to listen to......... I just dont think they are as good at the 15 min jams as bands like The Allman Brothers or Zappa. I do however LOVE their country rock albums American Beauty and Workingman's Dead. I would never call myself a deadhead or go to one of the remaining band members side project tours, it's just not as good.

I noticed that it seems deadheads aren't phishheads, and phishheads aren't deadheads. Generally deadheads don't like phish, and phishheads don't like the Dead.
I'm a dead head. I don't care for phish. It's the sound, I just don't like it. I love the sound of the dead. I don't care if they do or don't have talent, they are very appealing to me, that's why I listen to them.
Btw, what an old fucking thread. Someone bumped it from over 4 years ago?

They can take a while to grow on you. I wasn't into them at first, but now I love them. As was mentioned earlier, the song "Ripple" is a great place to start.

It's funny, i've noticed this as well. i dig some of Phishs music but not most of it. i saw Phish live last year and it was mostly just a "musicgasm". you know, just one crescendo after another until all the hippies were writhing uncontrollably to the riffs of Treys massive "high peak" solos.
Obviously the Dead had quite a few "musicgasm" (you know, music that's all about orgasmic type highs) type songs but they also had some extremely intricate hour long pieces that were extremely in depth, contemplative and rich.
I could care less what people think about the Dead. I know good music when i hear it and the Dead are fucking amazing.
Hell, the Shroomery owes a massive debt of gratitude to the entire Dead scene. Most Heads were way into shrooms (and a lot of other stuff) and i doubt that the carrying on of the psychedelic movement would have come this far had it not been for the massive amount of energy so many Heads put into trying to share the love.
McKenna was a Head.
I'm sure plenty of people will pitch a fit about the above statement but it's all good. I give credit where i know it's due.
listen to this sick China Cat (can't find the Rider). one of my personal favs:
--------------------
"We are all intoxicated. We were born into an insane asylum, a world crazy-making. We believe what we see and hear. The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

on a side topic, I am still confused by Neil Youngs fame. I have yet to find an entrance into his music, a perspective to appreciate it from. I just dont get it.
but back to the dead..... yeah, go lay in the grass on a nice sunny day, and listen to that song. There is a good place to begin to be grateful.
Comments like this piss me off. "If you cant find a deep appreciation for that song, then you have never truly relaxed or know what it is like to relax." Oh yeah fuckwad? You know me that well? How about I tell you I have listened to Ripple and that I think its a boring piece of shit.
The dead are NOT that good. IMO, they are obnoxious shit. They have an annoying country sound to them that I simply don't enjoy. Its funny though, because a lot of dead followers will claim to be the most open minded people on this Earth until you diss the dead. Fuckers. The Dead though, really, are overrated. They didn't really do anything new or unique and their music isn't even that great or original. When jam bands "jam" it gets boring and all sounds the same. This is of course all my opinion. Lets see how many open minded hippies I upset...
If you like the dead that's great, and I respect that, but please... be respectful of others peoples musical taste. You'll notice too, if you take a step back, that some of the most hostile music people ARE DEADHEADS. They get so fucking defensive over this dumb band its ridiculousness... especially when it comes from the mouth of an 18 year old kid. The dead may have been great live and when the original band was touring, but that time is long gone. Get the fuck over it.

Funguspants said: The dead are NOT that good. IMO, they are obnoxious shit. They have an annoying country sound to them that I simply don't enjoy. Its funny though, because a lot of dead followers will claim to be the most open minded people on this Earth until you diss the dead. Fuckers. The Dead though, really, are overrated. They didn't really do anything new or unique and their music isn't even that great or original. When jam bands "jam" it gets boring and all sounds the same. This is of course all my opinion. Lets see how many open minded hippies I upset...

Weren't The Dead really just a cover for the largest lsd dealer in history and wasn't The Dead family (i.e. the crew and security) actually Hells Angels and other outlaw bikers. Was it all just a coincidence that they traveled so much and all the fans bought and sold so much acid. I mean wasn't Owsley at one time the bands key financial supporter and aren't Grateful Dead concerts the main place lsd is sold. I've always kinda thought of it as a traveling lsd carnival and somehow see the music as second stage to the drugs and whatnot. I could be crazy but it seems like cheating to me.

i can't "outline" thirty years of live music for you hear and now. why don't you sit down for the next couple of years while i share some stories with you.
the Dead are more about the stories surrounding their music. seems like you've got some built up animosity toward some abusive Heads in your past.
do you need a Dead therapy session? we can talk this out, man. it's going to be o.k.

So infulential means unique and good?
People can say N'sync and Backstreet Boys were influential bands. Does that mean they were good?
Also at pfxtc I said that "shit" and plenty of bands have done things that were unique and the dead weren't one of them.
Bands have unique sounds, even genres do. Take for instance the first dubstep to come around... that shit was something else. Just because YOU don't appreciate it doesn't mean it isn't unique. Dubstep is completely different than the electonic music from the 80's. The dead was jam music and that was it. They brought nothing new to the scene from what I have heard / seen / gathered. Thusly... they were not unique.
Also though, funny that so many people bring up this "name one unique band" bull shit. I can name a few, but I want to point this out that these people are dead heads. Notice how defensive they get...

Think back to the time the dead was around.
It was conventional pop music and if you disagree you are simple WRONG. Look at what made up the hippy / deadhead crowd back when they were in their prime. Adults...yes... but mostly hippies. And who made up the hippy crowd? Young-adults and kids. AKA POP CULTURE. Hippies weren't really unique back then... it was a popular "scene" for kids...
... similar to today's ghetto / scene kids that new age hippies seem to hate on so often...

Funguspants, I don't even know where to start dude.
How could i possibly start?
Lets seeee....first band in north america to have dancing to the shows that didn't have preplanned dance steps, first band to do the wall of sound, one of the first bands in north america to play without a set list, one of the longest standing bands in the world, over 500 unique songs and over 1000 songs known, were one of the first bands to start fucking around with delay and echoes and weird space-y sounding music WHICH THEN GAVE BIRTH TO ELECTRONIC MUSIC, WHICH THEN FUCKING GAVE BIRTH TO YOUR FUCKING SHITTY BRO-STEP, BRO. The grateful dead changed music PERMANENTLY. You're speaking with your head so far up your own ass that I should put my foot up your ass and in your mouth, because YOUR foot ain't gonna reach.

It's all about understanding what has brought us to where we are today.

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.

Dude, dubstep tells you right in the name what it's derived from: Dub and 2-step. To try and talk about dubstep as something original is an epic fail.

I don't even know what dubstep is, I can't listen to Electronic music outside of say Hallucinogen or Shpongle, simply because they incorporate a ton of instruments into their electronic stuff as well.
The Dead were around since before dubstep was even thought of

this ^^^
to begin to "get" the Dead an appreciation of history is helpful. it's not necessary, but it definitely helps to put things in perspective. there's definitely a lot of ignorance in this thread. not because folks dislike the Dead, but some of the reasons why are spoken out of baseless naivete.
makes for good lulz though.

The grateful dead changed music PERMANENTLY. You're speaking with your head so far up your own ass that I should put my foot up your ass and in your mouth, because YOUR foot ain't gonna reach.
LOL DID YOU PULL THAT OUT OF YOUR ASS?
Also just for the record is that kid in your sig you?
Because your only fucking further proving my point. Also, "unique" songs my fucking ass they just jam. Jamming =/= unique it means fucking jamming. ONE NOTE COULD BE DIFFERENT BETWEEN TWO VERSIONS OF THE SONG and you will call it unique.
They did NOT birth "bro-step". Do you have info and sources to back this shit that your claiming up? If so, let me see them and I will respect that. Otherwise, I don't accept that info. They DID NOT give birth to electronic music WHAT SO FUCKING EVER. I did a report on Electronic music and its sub-genres in college. I have sources to counter you're info if you wish to see them.
MAYBE they were the first band to play without a set list. WHO THE FUCK CARES? That doesn't effect their music at all.
MAYBE they are the longest standing band in the world ( I don't know facts) but that doesn't mean their fucking good. I've known this fucking prick kid for my whole life. Doesn't mean I'm good friends with him. This information is worthless in the long run.
Also... you say "they WERE ONE OF THE FIRST bands to use..." so they weren't the FIRST one. And that has nothing to do with techno or anything sir.
So yeah.... incorrect.

I don't know if they suck or not. The one time I saw them, tripping on Mr. Natural, everything sounded great. Saw the Allman Brothers too, that night.

Go watch the Grateful Dead movie, learn something.
They were the FIRST band to implement the Wall of Sound, which had a HUGE effect on every band after them.
Go listen to Anthem of the Sun, listen to Alligator. Probably the first bands to splice 5 live shows into 1 song and throw it onto a studio album.
Phil Lesh mic'd his pickups up to different speaker cabinets, probably one of the first guys to try that.
Grateful Dead did a shit ton for music, rivaled only by Hendrix & Pink Floyd in my opinion.

Prove my point more brah.

But I never said all dubstep was unique or good derp. I said I like it. Doesn't mean I claim it to be the head of music. Or anything. I just said I fucking like it rofl. But yeah, say what you want I don't give no fux.

Oh lordy this is going to take a while.
First off, I don't mean electronic music as in electronically generated music. I mean the grateful dead's sets "Drums" and "space" Were some of the first ambient haunting electronically distorted music in the world. You can disagree, you can say "OH BUT THE THEREMIN WAS FIRST", but the fact is you're flat out wrong. Without the dead's ideas and willingness to explore and play, what we consider modern electronic music including your shitty repetitive dubstep simply would not exist. Phil lesh's bass playing surely had a profound inspiring effect on drum and bass, which helped turn into dubstep.
Regardless of the quite inconsistent points that you're making about a lack of unique songs (I"m sure you've probably listened to two or three dead songs) and how "all they did was jam", you might actually infact be forgetting that they have over 500 uniquely written songs with lyrics and chord changes. and they're all GOOD.
I imagine you don't play an instrument.
Or have a father.

The Dead are not responsible for electronic music. Pink Floyd was doing much more tripped out and psychedelic shit before they were, same thing with Jimi Hendrix.
And even then, that's not really relevant. It's based more on the technology available than the people using it. They weren't the most intelligent or innovative people around at the time.
Electronic music would have come about regardless of the dead.
Funguspants, just shut the fuck up. You've sufficiently tarnished your own name already.

Yeah it sucks, I dont play A insturment. I only play a couple. Guitar, drums, AND bass included. And yeah, I wish I had a father. He died when I was seven weeks old. My mother, when I was eight years old. But yeah. I've seen phil lesh play live. I've seen Bobby Weir sing live.
I HAVE LISTENED TO THE FUCKING DEAD. MANY TIMES. SOBER, HIGH, TRIPPING, WHAT THE FUCK EVER MIND STATE. JUST IN MY OPINION THEY FUCKING SUCK. I WAS UNMOVED WHEN I SAW THEM LIVE. DON'T GET ANGRY BECAUSE I DISAGREE WITH YOUR MUSICAL TASTE SIR.

yeah man, you're totally right. you win. is this the validation you seek?
i still have yet to see what "anger" you're talking about but yeah man, apparently you've proven us all wrong.
we are all one giant hippie fail. i'm trading in my tie dyes for tub-step.
seriously, tub-step is the shit. in fact, you can take a shit while listening to tub-step because you're in the tub so it's all good.

I can't fully enjoy the Grateful Dead because I hear so many deadheads preach about how it's such amazing music that it can change lives.
I enjoy the songs, and the style (which is what defined them, they aren't that talented in music theory compared to a vast field of musicians), but I've never had my mind blown by anything they played.
I've contemplated why this is the case quite a bit. I think it might be having a dad who's a musician who has been exposing me to "music gods" since a young age. Or maybe it's my own music ability that offers a different perspective, allowing me to analyze a piece for it's difficulty or unique composition, from an authors point of view.

See you're being a prick though. Go back and find my original post. Read all posts after. Notice the anger in everyone. Especially that one kid (tool with the picture of him self with the skateboard giving the cliche peace sign "im so cool" flash).
They at least got defensive, like I said would happen. I'm just trying to point out this fact that deadheads (hippies) get EXTREMELY angered when you go against their musical taste. My trolling in this thread got the responses to prove my point. Go back and look, I did it for science (and the lawlz) but mainly for science.
Hippies get angry when you diss the dead. I said it before, I'll say it again. Now there is just proof in this thread to prove it.

I enjoy the songs, and the style (which is what defined them, they aren't that talented in music theory compared to a vast field of musicians), but I've never had my mind blown by anything they played.
I've contemplated why this is the case quite a bit. I think it might be having a dad who's a musician who has been exposing me to "music gods" since a young age. Or maybe it's my own music ability that offers a different perspective, allowing me to analyze a piece for it's difficulty or unique composition, from an authors point of view.
It certainly seems that deadheads are very interested in the "mythology" of the dead scene from the "golden years". This must have a part to play in the idolization of the music.
Whatever it is, I feel like the Grateful Dead is an awesome band among many. It's just kind of overhyped 
Basically a nicer way of what I'm trying to say. The Dead DO have some good songs. But they arn't THAT FUCKING GOOD. I would rate them mediocre at best. They were decent, their time has come and passed now the hippies just need to let it go. They weren't some divine band. They were just a simple fucking band. They played music. Jerry is dead. They are people like you and me.

That's kind of a drab perspective. There may be some truth to that, but a lot of people actually do like the music and otherwise it probably would never have gotten that big.
Let's say hypothetically, the grateful dead disbanded in 1969 because their music sucked. Sure they started out playing acid tests and small gymnasium shows but they never got anywhere and people stopped really listening to them. Back to the acid; would it have survived to be known today? Maybe, maybe not.
I don't think the two, band and acid, are mutually dependent on eachother.. But they certainly did go together well!

yeah but you're obviously just looking to troll folks. i mean seriously, you're calling folks names and taking direct attacks at their pics and stuff.
if you were just talking about the Dead it would be one thing (i'm a huge Head but i don't get super worked up when people "attack" some band they know nothing about) but making personal attacks on folks is another.
i can see you've earned your two shroom rating. i'm sure this thread will help to keep the bad ratings comin'.

We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

LSD would still be around with or without the Grateful Dead. It might be viewed in a slightly better light by society if it were not for the shows.
This is speculation, but considering the history of legislation, it's an educated guess.

It's just too perfect to not be planned. It's seems simple, Owsley makes the shit, the dead plays the hypnotic music, the fans give each other a sense of community and the bikers crack heads to get things accomplished........ end of the day they split up the money, everyone gets a cut and they plan for the next tour. All funded by lsd.

They brought nothing new to the scene from what I have heard / seen / gathered. Thusly... they were not unique.
HOLY SHIT, THIS MIGHT BE FAVORITE POST EVER

Ever listen to Piper at The Gates of dawn?
Of course "how psychedelic" something is is subjective and up for interpretation, so if that's what you mean then it's kinda futile to argue about.
But do you really think the dead are responsible for electronic music?

hell yeah i've listened to piper at the gates of dawn. i love that stuff, and i love pink floyd. didn't mean to sound hostile, i was just trying to say i think the grateful dead was playing some seriously psychedelic stuff right around the same the same time pink floyd was, so i didn't feel it was accurate to say that pink floyd was doing much more tripped out and psychedelic shit before they were.
and no, i definitely don't feel like the grateful dead was responsible for electronic music at all. although personally, i don't feel like pink floyd was that responsible for it either. a lot of artists collectively influenced the birth of that genre, to say the dead or floyd or hendrix was more responsible than one another would be kind of silly IMO

It is amazing how close minded some of the people in this thread are. To say any band sucks is just stupid in my opinion. I have respect for anybody who creates music. I think the dead was a great band. I certainly don't think they were the greatest band ever or anything. In my opinion, there are way too many great bands to say one band is the greatest of all time.
If you can't get into the grateful dead, complaining about not liking them is stupid. I mean, I don't like listening to pop country, but I don't make threads complaining about how I think it sucks. If you don't like the dead, get over it people. They are just a band.
Personally, I think they were all pretty damn talented musicians and creative people though. I don't know what to tell you if you can't respect that.
edit: I will say that it does bother me a bit the way that some deadheads worshiped jerry garcia like he was a god. I love some of the music he made, but if people treated me like I was a god, I probably would have become a heroin addict too.

Agreed, I don't think PF or Jimi is either, it was just an example of other people who were equally (if not way way more, in my eyes) as innovative. I wouldn't give any of them credit for birthing electronic music.

The Grateful Dead were definitely dependant on LSD. Half the people would have probably said "Fuck this" and went home if it didn't exist.
Pigpen, one of the founding members didn't even like LSD; got dosed on accident a couple times and had a bad time/ freak out. You just make it seem like everyone who was at a dead show was high on acid and only going for the doses. Which is pretty close minded, but most people probably were high.. But it wasn't a prerequisite to take acid to enjoy a dead show. If you start reading some books you'll find that even people like bankers/lawyers/doctors/congressmen were all into the dead. I'm not exactly saying that these groups of people didn't take LSD from time to time (they probably did!), but I think a lot of people think that every single deadhead is/was a dreaded wookie who hasn't taken a shower in months. Again if you start reading some books and checking out some film you'll find out that dreaded hippy image didn't really develop until much later in the history of the dead.

I tried to like the Dead I really did. Not my style.
I think 1 song might sound ok. I don't know what it's called tho.

Really, if you think about it, Jerry's voice is terrible. I could never mistake it, but it's not the best to listen to. I don't love jam bands. What I love about the Grateful Dead is their folk rock songs. I can jam out to them easily on guitar (I'm really not good) and can sing better than Jerry! The Grateful Dead's lyrics are one of their good attributes, many of their songs tell stories.

Alright here it goes(this is hard) I had some Grateful Dead albums growing up, I think my favorites were Blues For Allah and From The Mars Hotel. They weren't exactly a great band but lots of people think the Grateful Dead suck even the people who listen to them.

For what it's worth, my dad lived in Haight Ashbury during the 60's. He was in his early 20's, and hung out in the musician crowds, being a musician himself.
He attended several Grateful Dead shows. Never took LSD at them though. He told me that he never understood what all the hype was about.
Apparently the Jethro Tull shows were much more entertaining.

on a side topic, I am still confused by Neil Youngs fame. I have yet to find an entrance into his music, a perspective to appreciate it from. I just dont get it.
but back to the dead..... yeah, go lay in the grass on a nice sunny day, and listen to that song. There is a good place to begin to be grateful.
Comments like this piss me off. "If you cant find a deep appreciation for that song, then you have never truly relaxed or know what it is like to relax." Oh yeah fuckwad? You know me that well? How about I tell you I have listened to Ripple and that I think its a boring piece of shit.
The dead are NOT that good. IMO, they are obnoxious shit. They have an annoying country sound to them that I simply don't enjoy. Its funny though, because a lot of dead followers will claim to be the most open minded people on this Earth until you diss the dead. Fuckers. The Dead though, really, are overrated. They didn't really do anything new or unique and their music isn't even that great or original. When jam bands "jam" it gets boring and all sounds the same. This is of course all my opinion. Lets see how many open minded hippies I upset...
If you like the dead that's great, and I respect that, but please... be respectful of others peoples musical taste. You'll notice too, if you take a step back, that some of the most hostile music people ARE DEADHEADS. They get so fucking defensive over this dumb band its ridiculousness... especially when it comes from the mouth of an 18 year old kid. The dead may have been great live and when the original band was touring, but that time is long gone. Get the fuck over it.
Don't get so ass-hurt. Your an example of someone who can't relax, though I don't think this is because of your lack of appreciation for the dead... more of a personality thing. 
I do agree though, relaxation isn't from a song, it's more of something you do yourself.... Though it's something you can't be calling people fuckwads and getting upset at them generalizing over, especially when their comment wasn't even specifically directed at you.

I feel like alot of the people that say "i tried a few songs and didnt like them", i just assume they put on some studio album. This isn't the dead. I think everyone in this category should put a complete show on from 69-79, and listen to it in its entirety. If it still doesn't click, then cool, its not for everyone.

exactly. that's why i don't really take most peoples opinions about the Dead and their music too seriously. most folks have no idea what they are talking about. i've been listening to the Dead for years and have only begun to truly understand what their music is capable of.
take "Playin' in the Band" for instance. The first year or two i was into the Dead i did not like this song. Couldn't appreciate it for what it was. It's only been in the last two years that i've begun to really understand the power that that song held.
it's kind of hard to dismiss 30 years of music in one fell swoop.

I personally give 0 fucks about Grateful Dead, but I find it awesome that a Dead show = synonymous with free LSD at the time and I'd heard that they'd do some hour long psychedelic improvs.
But beyond that I see nothing special about them.

I really like the Dead I listen to them a lot recently, the St. Stephen > The Eleven > Lovelight from Live/Dead is fucking amazing. And the Other Ones from Dicks Picks 4. I don't think that listening to them is going to change peoples lives, or make them enlightened or something, like some people say, but I still think that they're awesome. I found it a bit hard to get into them, purely because it's hard to know where to start, which is that same with any band with a large discography though. The Dead are probably my favourite band at the moment. I also listen to a lot of psytrance as well, so I don't think the Dead are the be all and end all of music.

Jeez, I REALLY am sorry to post on old threads. But it's unbelievable how much negative passion the GD can evoke. It's like if I said, "my favorite color is blue", and then everyone jumped on my ass because blue sucks and red is so much better and blue never did anything special... bla, bla, bla.
I've been hearing folks tell me how much the Dead suck for 40 years. But I've been to over 200 shows with Jerry on hand and I found it to be a very special place that one could not find easily in America in the 1970s/80s. There was no internet. No cell phones. But dosing at a Dead show, then following the "test" into the next town and witnessing the town experience a psychedelic invasion was pretty cool.
Like Robert Hunter said: "Once in a while you get shown the light. In the strangest of places if you look at it right"
Turn me on to dub step. I probably won't like it unless there is some Jerry solo sampled in, but for God's sake, enjoy it. Far be it for me to look down on your trip.
Again, sorry to bump an old post. I'm new and just started wandering around....

The problem is most people just haven't been introduced to them properly. They played a lot of shit shows, so you can't just dive into their live stuff not knowing anything.
If you watch these both of these shows on something good (preferably lsd), you'll get it and be a fan for life sunshine daydream 8/27/72

SPOT ON! I think that I have seen pretty much EVERYTHING of the Dead that is on film. For an new bee, the brand new Scorcesee documentary on Amazon is quite informative.
As far as PURITY, I always found this you tube video to be a GREAT representation of what a live Dead show was like in 1977-ish. One of their best years IMHO:

oh, and one more thing: It;'s so funny, when I would try to watch video or television on psychedelics, I would always be noticing the two plants on either side of the screen flowing back and forth, or just tripping out on the texture of the "ANYTHING"! LOL!
Once when I was in high school the Dead were going to be on tv like on Dick Clark's Bandstand or some stupid shit and my friend and I took a hit of widow pain each! Last thing we fucking cared about was watching a television screen! LOL!
It's easy to fall in love with the music, but I don't care what anyone says: if you never saw Jerry Garcia live, then you never will know exactly how amazing it could be. Sand YES, I have seen plenty of piss-poor shows. But it takes all senses: Sound, site, SMELL, touch and taste to have a TRUE life experience. It's like watching porn. Having sex is so much better in every way!
I'm sure you'll agree! You have GREAT taste!

No matter bro. You "get it" and it's a beautiful place to stumble upon.
Maybe I'll see you at Dead and Co? I go cause my friends are there and it's close, but I am a true Jerry FREAK, so nothing that John Mayer can do is even close to Garcia. he was a special kind of player.

I'm a Jerry nut too. He feels like a mythical figure to me since he was already dead when I fell into it. Not at all a Mayer fan. Chris robinson said Mayer is the antithesis for everything Jerry stood for and I tend to agree. still gonna see dead n co in va this yr tho!

There are good dead songs, even if you don't like them if you listen to them enough you'll find songs you like. But the part of the dead I like the most is actually the work they did for other bands. Take, for example, Jefferson Airplane's plastic fantastic lover, which has a mindblowingly good guitar lead on it courtesy of the dead.
I'm not the biggest fan of all of their material, but even I have some songs of theirs that I like. Besides, people go to dead concerts for reasons other than the music. Or at least they used to.

Great Point. Surrealistic Pillow would NEVER had been such an amazing album if not for Jerry: credited as "spiritual adviser"
David Crosby, "If I could Only Remember My Name" Paul Kantnet, "Blows Against The Empire" (one of the greatest psych LPs ever! CSN&Y: "Teach Your Children" (That's Jerry on pedal steel New Riders of the Purple Sage: EVERYTHING Jefferson Airplane: "Surrealistic Pillow" Bruce Hornsby and the Range: "Across the River"
Just to name a few!
Grateful Dead is an acquired taste. No doubt about it. But as Jerry said: "Not everyone likes black licorice but those who do, REALLY love black licorice!".

Name one band that was 100% unique.
Jimi Hendrix. How about him?
Plus, It bothers me not that you don't like the Dead. It;s like if you told me you were gay. What the hell do I care what your musical or sexual preferences are.
Sorry, I realiZe this thread is so old. But I am brand new. I will stop now. I could actually explain how the Dead are unique, but what's the point. Like my friend SANDING BOY says (You tube him): "WHO GIVES A CRAP?"
I'm done. Thanks for reading. love to everyone! and thank God for musical diversity!
