I can break it down to one song: Ripple.

Still sounds like standard blues rock to me.

I've tried at least two dozen times to get "it" and failed.

If you don't like Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, to each his own, but those records are in no way directionless endless blues jams.

They've always hung their hats on good songs.

I disagree. I've always heard that Grateful Dead fall under the country rock / blues category. I've not listened to them myself, but I know people who are huge fans of theirs and they even say it's bluesy country rock. Nothing prog about them.

BS. The Dead wouldn't have known progressive if it bit them in their ass. They were a boiling pot of Americana music. Pop, folk, country, white blues, Jerry's leads hinted at Jazz, Gospel, and Bluegrass all mixed up with a ton of drugs which made them sound cool to lots of folks.

Their following is a cult no better than Scientology or Jim Jones.

I consider Terrapin Station a prog record. And it's great.

that's why you should listen to things for yourself before saying what they sound like
