daneel2112 Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 For me it will be Rush, but you can't dismiss the brilliant TGD. The world of music would be a sadder place without TGD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treeduck Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Why is this joke thread still going? I mean Grateful Dead? DEAD being the operative word... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadu93 Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 QUOTE (RushFanForever @ Jul 30 2009, 01:04 PM)I am going to let this post slide since with the posting I made about Rush and the Grateful Dead that is quoted in Neil's book "Traveling Music" makes this legitimate. However the posting about KC and The Sunshine and Rush is ridiculous. There is no connection whatsoever with both bands. You do know that these are joke threads, right? Everything's not a Rush reference, sometimes we're kidding around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything's not a Rush reference, sometimes we're kidding around. That KC thread is deathly serious. It's well known that KC of said KC & The Sunshine Band is an avowed disciple of one Ayn Rand, he's a keen libertarian and loves Scottish Single Malt whisky.....and Baby Give It Up and La Villa Strangiato could be the same song.

tangy Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It's comparing apples and oranges. I will say this, however: Grateful Dead - best American group of all timeRush - best Canadian group of all time Bump! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveyt Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 a couple rock & roll books I have read on the subject state the dead f***ing sucked live (greg allman, john fogerty). btw Sebastian Bach's book is chock full of Rush references as you already would have guessed.

RUSHHEAD666 Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I knew I wrote my story on here before about the "DEAD HEAD" street sign in my parents neighborhood! Timing is everything! THE GRATEFUL DEAD SUCK! One of the worst bands even created by MAN. Stoners, acid droppers, ultra liberals, hippies, dirty stinky sweaty band. Rush is to Ronald Reagan as The Grateful Dead is to Hillary Clinton. Signed, Ayn Rand LOL! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to hear from other deadheads but imo rush is far more liberal or progressive leaning lyrically speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Seeker Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Why did this old thread get bumped? Ironically I was just musing to myself the other day about the fact that some people who know I am a die-hard Rush fan are surprised to learn I also love the Dead. Not in the same way - totally depends on the mood I am in, but for chill out music, I love 'em. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of what some books say, there is an abundance of live recordings available for you to listen (and watch) and decide for yourself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I don't even need one hand to count the Dead songs I like. Garcia was a so-so guitarist, and the rest of the band was shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
