I'm probably going straight to hell for this...

Artist:Grateful Dead & Phish
...but I have to admit that I have always been one of those folks who think that the Grateful Dead and Phish are both equally blase.I can't think of any of their songs that you could whistle if you were doing something that might elicit the joys of whistling or even humming for that matter.(Of course, there are a few other artists in that category as well) Maybe it's because I never had much fun with drugs - not that I didn't try them, most were not as much fun as my normal joy of being alive and acutely aware.Yeah, granted, both bands could jam for hours - but then so could the musicians who used to hang out at the Last Exit cafe in Seattle's U District, at someone's home on non open mic nights. I don't find their lyrics mind-bending or enlightening in any way unique. I will give credit to Jerry Garcia for being able to make certain all the lines rhymed, and to Trey for being able to write a college thesis and figure out how to make money off of it for years, but I still can't remember any of the songs it inspired or their tunes.Like I said, in many folks opinions, I am going to hell.... but at least I am happy!
