Just voicing my opinion. LOL! I personally think the Grateful Dead sux.
As for experimental music ... when was the last time Phish or Primus sold an album?
Primus Sucks.
All the time... And selling out every concert they play, when the members aren't playing with their experimental side groups, like "Colonel Claypools Bucket of Bernie Brains." That's one of my favorite band names of all time, and tells you who's in the band to boot!

Bands wish they had the following the Dead did. Personally I think Phish suxed.
