Grateful Dead - Estimated Prophet

I don't know why I got into the Grateful Dead when i was in high school, but I like them even though they're weird.

Maybe you got into them because they are one of the ten or so greatest rock bands of all time?

I don't really care for shows but the first 6 or so albums are amazing.

That's awesome. I've never met someone that prefers their studio work to their live recordings, ever. I know a ton of dead fans and never, not once have any of them put on a studio recording. So odd.

Strange, almost everyone I know feels absolutely the opposite of the people you know, but none of them are Dead Heads, just people who have big music appetites.

The four albums I've listened too the most by the Dead.

1. Aoxomoxoa

2. Working Mans Dead

3. American Beauty

4. Blues for Allah

They are all different, they are all strong albums.

Songwriting is great, musicianship is excellent.

I like the Grateful Dead too. I'm not of a fan of songs that Bob sings, I prefer Jerry vocals.

One of my favorite tunes:

bgood79 just saw them play with John Mayer. -Interesting combo. He seemed to enjoy it.
