They changed, definitely not Ac/Dc.

I don't know that much about the Dead but I know that they changed their genre over a few albums.

well thats good. i like bands that expand their music across more than one genre.

ya we'd better summon Badmoon.

How is Jim too cool for Christmas?

yup definitely buying American Beauty ASAP. oh ya, i dont remember when it was, but i was trying to think of the Grateful Deads original name..it just came to me. it was The Warlocks.

edit- i was wondering who the black guy was too. and i didn't notice jim didn't have a santa hat. colour his beard white or something.

Jim does his own thing. Which was being fat, drunk and having a bread.

Lead
-----------
Box of Rain - Phil Lesh
Fire on the Mountain - Jerry Garcia

Ripple is me favorite Dead song.

Badmoon does the Dead have any really bluegrassy songs...like the stuff he (Jerry) plays with David Grisman.

when they sing harmony, does jerry sing the lower part or the higher part?

do you have any other songs to recommend that hasn't already been said?

The Grateful Dead usually put on tape whatever they were doing during the time. Of course a lot of different influences were pasted around, and since each member wrote at least one song, there'd be tons.

But their albums mostly varied.

S/t - Psychedelic + Rock n Roll

Anthem Of the Sun - Psychedelia

Aoxomoxoa - Psychedelia (But with a lot more going on)

Workingman's Dead - Roots

American Beauty - Roots + Psychedelia + Rock n Roll

Wake of The Flood - Jazz + Roots

Mars Hotel - Reggae + Jazz + Tons of stuff

Terrapin Station - Soul + Funk + Gospel

Shakedown Street - Reggae + Blues

Go to Heaven - Rock n Roll

In the Dark - Reggae + R&B + ect

Built to Last - Soft Rock + ect


Some of those were very hard to describe.

"Cumberland Blues", the largest portion of their Roots studd is more Country and Folk.

Jerry actually has the highest voice. Bob Weir and Pigpen have the lowest.

Reccomend
---------------
Eyes of The World
Mississippi Uptown Toodeloo
Brokedown Palace
Loose Lucy
China Cat Sunflower
Franklin's Tower
I Know You Rider
Bird Song (It's actually a Jerry Garcia song, but they of course play it all time)

That should do you good for some time.

Maybe you're forgetting something. For you information: The Grateful Dead will be, and are, the greatest band in the world's history!

Dead > Beatles

Dead > Stones

Dead > Zeppelin

Dead > Who

Dead > Doors

Dead > All of um

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Ohhh, I will.[/QUOTE]

Good luck proving them better than The Beatles :p

Proving stuff will be easy, it's changing their opinions that'll be hard. ;)
