The Grateful Dead Thread (for the Dead Head)

[readyeddy?]

You know a while back the Rolling Stone put out a top 500 songs of all time. It struck me that not a single Grateful Dead song made the list. Now I'm not a fervent Grateful Dead fan but I like them and that seemed odd to me that there was no Dead representation on that list.
Casey Jones, Truckin', Sugar Magnolia, Touch of Grey; any one of them would have made sense if you ask me. It just seems odd that a magazine like the Rolling Stone would have shut them out.
Any thoughts here?

What? No love for the Dead on the Realms? It is for shame.

Deadheads are slow readers.



I picked up Live from the Mars Hotel on CD when they released it as a half speed master (that will date it pretty well), it went missing but the songs always came creeping out of the dark, so I bought it again eventually. I also have Anthem of the Sun (still trying to get into that one).

Those things aren't supposed to drift over from the country threads, dang it.

Maybe in this case they are rolls of barbed wire blowing through?

I just discovered that the New Riders of Purple Sage had Jerry Garcia as a founding member. I've been aware of that band for years but was never aware of it as a side project for the Grateful Dead. Phil Lesh and Mickey Hart were also involved.
I'm going to have to step things up and get them in my collection. I bought some Hot Tuna (the Jefferson Airplane side project) and loved it. This will be interesting too.

Learn something every day. I didn't know that either.

Ouch, are you trying to kill my thread? Anyway I don't think those are even made anymore.
