I wouldnt expect most younger people to really like them. I created a thread about them here and it didn't get much attention.

I think the last waltz is a good starting point. It has such an all-star lineup and you'll get many great songs from them.

They had a very diverse style ranging from folk to blues to rock n roll to new Orleans jazz (they worked with Allen toussaint on some occasions) to country . They just had a unique style. In A time when so many bands were doing the counter-culture, rebel, psychedelic thing they were certainly something different and inspired many bands, even the beatles.

All their albums with the original line up and even some later ones are good But I think the last waltz is a great starting point. Their first two albums are probably their best.
