Grateful Dead were cool guys but a bland, unexciting band, but "Terrapin Station" is one of the best things to hit the mainstream music scene ever.

Slash is a fantastic musician.

But see, I could say the same thing about the music of, say, Greg Brown, a folk singer-songwriter, really more of a poet. Man can't sing to save his life, but his music is some of the most emotive...
