I've been wanting to get some Grateful Dead for a while.
What exactly should I get?

I just asked a dead head this the other day and he said, Europe 72' & American Beauty are the best to start with.

will do.

Damn this seems to be the first mention of The Dead that I have seen on this site

I actually enjoy them a lot, but you have to be careful what you listen to cause some of the stuff is just really bad.

My favorite album has got to be Blues For Allah

I will be sure to check that one out! Europe 72 is pretty good too!

Certainly. And you can't forget Workingman's Dead...

How many of you love grateful dead your opinion.
 

One of my personal fav bands...How about you guys what are your opinions on them.

I hate hippies, but I love me some Dead. Wouldn't call myself a deadhead, though.

I dig 'em. GD are a bit too folksy for me, kinda past my time I guess. I'm a Phishhead. Do have quite a few Dead shows, lately my favorite show has been 12-28-79.

I say someone close this sucka down. Isn't there an official Dead Thread already?
