Every northeastern suburb in the 70's had a mandatory percentage of Dead Heads. Some were into it purely for the music......many were into it for the lifestyle the band sustained and represented. At some point the Grateful Dead went from a ground zero psych band to traveling minstrels for a financially profitable caravan of drug fueled, soap adverse future Scarborough Faire participants with the odd lawyer and accountant thrown in. <br />

	Personally I could probably put together a collection of 5-7 songs of theirs that I like enough to listen to......and I find the whole modern "jam band" scene hideous......from that SF scene I prefer CJ & The Fish.</div></blockquote>

	At least the Dead never went Starship.  I like some of the Airplane material when I hear it but I almost never pull those records out.<br />

	It's just too soon.<br />

	I still have 4-5 Dead records around but the only one that gets played these days is the 2LP compilation "What A Long Strange Trip It's Been."  I don't think they ever put a killer album together, but I don't think they ever cared.
