is this after Jan got fucked up in his car accident?
how do i into grateful dead
absolute essentials are american beauty and europe 72, listen to those before anything else.
from there if you like the jammier, weirder shit on europe 72, check out live/dead, skull & roses, and dick's picks 4. if you like american beauty but not the live jamming thing, then overall they may not be for you, but their studio albums, particularly those from '67 to '77 are all worth checking out. dick's picks 8 and dick's picks 33 are also more "direct" and less jam-fueled than most of their official shit, so maybe look into those.
but overall you're just gonna have to listen and figure out what you like. it's hard to give people a guide to the dead because there's just so much fucking material. but, thankfully, their music can be pretty nicely cut into different "eras" or sounds over time so i'll try to give a rough guide
65 through early 67 is basically proto-dead, they were still a stereotypical 60s garage band and there's barely any decent material, official or bootlegged, stuff out there.
https://youtu.be/rPXUrD9fj9w
67 through 69 were the freaky psych years, all the guys were still young and pigpin was going strong. probably my favorite era.
https://youtu.be/7AtVtx6H738
69 through 72 is quintessential dead. all the most famous shit was recorded during this time, including europe 72. beauty, workingmans, and skullfuck. if you don't like this stuff then you won't like the band at all, period.
https://youtu.be/xCgZxrf8nrU
72 through 74, super weird and jazzy dead. "wall of sound" shit is also going down, hugely influential in terms of how modern shows are conducted. my second fav era.
https://youtu.be/xgPLFYNEL1A
75 was a hiatus for the band, blues for allah was recorded and a few smaller shows here and there. lots of people love blues for allah, def check that album out.

Deadheads are the most annoying people on Earth. They'll spend literal hours debating which shit-quality bootleg of Mexicali Blues is better.
>>74572099
76 through 78 the guys are at the top of their game. basically the whole massive arena rock sound had been perfected, and 77 is a lot of guys' favorite year, for good reason. terrapin was recorded and the songs from that album make for some of the most famous dead jams ever. famous cornell show in 77 too, listen to that. there's even a conspiracy among older dead freaks that the cornell show was too good to have actually happened. weird shit.
https://youtu.be/luAqu8VX5wo
79 through 82, jerry's health starts to fall off due to drugs. stupid fuck could never shake it. BUT, still some great funky shows from this era, and it produced "shakedown street," one of my favorite tracks.
https://youtu.be/DvfTlKesxQ4
82 through 85, creative low for the band. energy is super low, hardly anyone listens to these shows. jerry was a fucking zombie. though 85 is often considered a comeback year
https://youtu.be/9Lm1OHJsNJ8
86 through 90, slow improvement for the band. younger kids start catching on, shows are getting better. jerry's health is improving a bit, and their late era "trippy trucker" sound is fully defined.
https://youtu.be/P3pTIAed1sA
91 through 95, end of the dead. jerry's health starts to fall through again and good shows become fewer and far between after the comeback of the late 80s and 1990. there's still good stuff here though, even if much of it is for sentimental value.

Your album choice actually has plenty of appeal to patient ears and is a perfect soundtrack to a stonedsummer. This, on the other hand, redefined the term 'overblown shite':

Last thread is now dying. The best discussion on ambient I've seen in a long while. I actually bookmarked it for later use.
Opening question for this thread: What is your cut off for what you consider ambient?
>>74562196
hi
>>74562196
>What is your cut off for what you consider ambient?
We were just talking about it in the old thread, but I don't really think Boards of Canada is really ambient. I think the ambient community sort of claimed them due to their immense popularity compared to other recent ambient artists. At the end of the day their music is far too busy to really be included in the genre.
>>74562304
For political reasons I think they are worth claiming as ours. If only to use as a bridge to the genre. Anyone who sticks with the genre and keeps them in their top four should be immediately dismissed though.

What was the first band that you really "got" into? (listened to their entire discography)
For me it was The Beatles, Radiohead and Nirvana. Don't know which one was first since I listened to them all at around the same time.
Beatles were the gateway drug to great music for me. Went from listening to top 40 to Beatles to the good stuff
Linkin Park

What's he calling out Mavers for?
I don't have the OP text, I just want to talk about classical music.

Daily reminder that Mozart is a fiercely underrated CoC (composer of color).

>>74575445

Are there any artists that produce similar space rock sounds like the song Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating in Space?
>>74575305
What a pretentious album cover
