They do have a lot of really good songs tho - St Stephen, Box of Rain, Friend of the Devil, Uncle John's Band, Ripple, Sugar Magnolia, Brokedown Palace, Scarlett Begonias, China Cat Sunflower, Hell in a Bucket, Fire on the Mountain, Morning Dew, US Blues, to name a few Nice combination of folk, country, r&b, bluegrass, and rock with some funk and jazz mixed in

They saved a yogurt company, not all of yogurt lol. I do like some Dead songs and Cherry Garcia ice cream, and they definitely are a culturally important band, but I would say the Beatles are probably more important.

Just how white are you? There are entire food cultures that rely on yogurt

As a musician I respect them but I also don't care much for their music

I really dislike the band and their fans are the worst kind of boomer.

You're super out of touch, dead heads are all ages I have friends that followed the entire dead and co tour in camper cans last year that are 20-35. Lots of hippies which are kind of the exact opposite of typical boomer energy.

If that's the metric then we can go by # of albums sold and what you're saying would be demonstrably false

by pfannerstillanj 1 week ago

Yes. But like my point on the music industry, they maintained a massive fan base without needing to sell tons of albums. They toured constantly and made millions from that avenue and have since that time made millions upon millions on archival releases.

By concert tickets sold, they rule, hands down.

The Grateful Dead weren't even Jerry Garcia's greatest jam session group.
