Grateful Dead

Over time, Garcia and Hunter wove together strands of bluegrass, English and American folk motifs, California country and western, gospel, blues, the Beatles, Dylan, and the Band into a Whitmanesque sampler that was Greek to prime-time DJs.... But like no other popular music before or since, it spoke to the dailiness of experience, the experience of getting by, which is largely overlooked in the lyrics of other bands; and it satisfied a longing for songs that come from somewhere, that have a past, if only a sense of the past. - Carol Brightman
