To each his own I guess
I never ‘got’ the Dead. Casey Jones is the closest thing they have I come close to liking and that’s because of the lyrics. I can appreciate their stuff from a player standpoint. They are great musicians, but it just does ZERO for me musically. I actually think it’s their own ‘fringe’ that turns me off more than the band’s music itself.
But then hey, if someone is into their stuff, more power to them. Heck I’m primarily a metalhead (Up THE IRONS!) but for the last couple years I’ve gravitated to the underground Retro 80s/Synthwave stuff more than anything so I’m not exactly mainstream either.
