NonDawg Top 3 Grateful Dead Songs

[Jimy jenga]

Terrapin Station
Brokedown Palace
Standing on the Moon (surprised this hasn't been mentioned yet)

I mean, if you love the Dead, this is really an exercise for fun, no way anyone who loves GD can narrow to 3 songs. So have fun with it, I guess!

 

[klev21]

Why? Because it is popular? You like what you like. It is a badass song. The “you aren’t authentic enough for me” BS exposes you a lot more than it does the guy who just likes the damned song.

Music is subjective = i get that. I was just having a little fun with Bailey Dawg

 

[chalkydawg]

Ramble on Rose
Loser
Eyes

 

[BHavenDawg]

It is so much easier to list the one's I don't like, and I realize that my list may be blasphemy, but I don't like:

Dark Star
Loser
Black Peter

Terrapin and Wharf Rat are not my faves, but they can be ok (I know others love them...)

All others probably enter my top 3 depending on day/time/headspace

I get it. To steal an analogy from the best fried chicken thread, TOG is the Publix fried chicken in the Dead archive. Not the coolest or most unique take to call it one of the best, but it is still really good.

 

[George Hayduke]

Worst-
Drums
Alligator
Eyes of the world

love loser . Black Peter used to be a skip for me. It really grew on me and now I really like it . I would say it definitely falls more in the wharf rat type of music . Tranceish

Forgot about Blow Away if we are talking about late 80s. Brent absolutely murders that song.

A list of their best covers would have Masterpiece on it. And I know Morning Dew is a cover but I think most would consider it a GD song since I'm not sure anyone has ever heard the original.

3)Wharf Rat

Agreed. Masterpiece is almost not even a cover in my book. Dylan wrote it but never truly released it.

I heard someone talking about how good this was on the radio recently but haven't seen it.
