Phred Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Personally, I have never really cared for Truckin'. Sorry to those I offend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 I've never liked "The Greatest Story Ever Told". Moses? Quasars? Huh? It's pretentious as Hell, and not a worth subject for lyrical exposition. Aloha, Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcO Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd take Samba In The Rain over Wave To The Wind. I mean, it was nice of Phil to try but.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Huxtable Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Okay, okay, I'll give an honest answer here (although it's so easy to push Dr. Hux's buttons ). Least favorite Dead songs would be: Mexicali Blues New Minglewood Blues Looks Like Rain Casey Jones Now please understand that my least favorite Dead songs still make me feel better than most every other song out there.

kung Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 Keep Your Day Job! And I can't believe anybody put Greatest Story and Looks Like Rain on their fucking lists! More like some of the best Dead tunes. Provided your down with a little Bobby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Boy 2.0 Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 WAVE TO THE wind Samba Mexicali Fever 5000 tons of steel song men smart women smarter I fought the law Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted October 9, 2002 Report Share Posted October 9, 2002 All my favorite least favorite songs are being picked! Samba in the Shit 9000 Tons Of Shit Wave to the Shit El Paso (bad song choice at too many shows for me) I agree with Kung, a good ole 72 wah wah Jerry on GSET is so much fun, as is a screamin' flute encased LLRain How about some of those 74 Truckins? HOLY SHIT! If you ever saw a Truckin, you would soon realize it is the ultimate party song. Unless it was a crapped out 94/95 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewRider Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Both "France" and "From The Heart of Me" make me sick beyond belief! I used to hate Tons of Steel as well, but after a while it became my favorite Brent song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kung Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Now I'm dancing around like a panser singing: 'way down in the south of France all the ladies love to dance'. It's hard to fathom that Lowell George produced that album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottieking Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Wow, this is kinda turning into confession hour of sorts. Couple of things: Certain tunes in the GD catalog have always been on the chopping block for me but the two that seem to spring to mind as most frequate are Cassidy and Feels Like a Stranger, depending on the day. Just never got my ya-ya's going. As for the Truckin debate, Deadheads got a mean on for this song like Phans for Bouncin. I don't get either. Overexposure early on in their respective careers really eroded the credibility but if you ever get a chance to check out a 72-74 (I suggest "Hundred Year Hall" )Truckin, it's hard to deny it's potential.

Tungsten Gruvsten Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 hmmm... lazy lightning(and supplication) reuben and cerise picasso moon jack straw liberty (god damn if the phil concert didn't hammer that one home) Weather Report Suite I can take or leave, and i wanna say Hell in a Bucket cause it's so damn cheese, but it's catchy and "In the dark" was my first album.... Same with Mexicali Blues....stupid and hokey, but i've been listening for so long.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Personally I have always liked both Bobby and Brent tunes..... Oh well, I don't mind the Meters singing either. As far as worst Dead tunes: They Love Each Other CC Rider (not a true original I know...) Candyman and the worst Mississippi Half Step. And being a little less trip, and a little more rave I just can't stand listening to most live Drums and Space. Sorry can't do it :-( And for a great band did they ever play some godawful covers: Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Hard to Handle (post Pigpen wasn't worth it) Hey Pocky Way (Brent had soul, but not Southern black soul. Uggggh) Sean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
