You guys suck
Tons of great songs.
Garcia was one of the greatest guitarists of all time, and he did it all with 9 fingers and being blazed 99% of the time.
Of course their albums suck, they were never intended to be recorded. Listen to a live recording of a show. It's ******* transformative.
As something of an ex-deadhead myself, I can honestly say that I am grateful that the fog eventually cleared. Ya, the Dead have their place in music history, but Garcia was more of a doped out noodler than guitar genius. In fairness, I think the Dead are underrated by people unfamiliar with their work, but seriously overrated by their fans - as Kwilkinson so vociferousy demonstrates.
