Now not sure if srs. I'm afraid to say it's true. Mostly. In broad terms they are colour filed. There are a couple of exceptions, classical music is kept as a separate genre as I don't play it often enough to know where it is if it's spread around by colour. The exception to that exception is Holst Planets by Boston Phil, which is a lovely mid blue and filed with the mid blues. I play it, so I know where to go get it. (ah tits, BBC 4 playing the song I was about to post, now it might look like I'm copying BBC 4 if anyone is watching) But yeah, I'm kind of colour based. I know Music Complete by New Order is white so I go look in the white albums, not N for New Order, or R for repetitive rehashed disco. New Order Republic is a dark cover, so filed elsewhere. It works for me and my brain. I like car parks to be colour coded. We can park for a day or a week, we get back, my wife knows we parked in 'bay 6' or on level 2. I head for 'avocado'.

If you want spacey jamming, the one that Ruge mentioned - Live/Dead. If you want their softer, CSNY-style, American Beauty or Workingman's Dead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the ones mooney has mentioned are the well known ones and are great albums. Live dead is also superb. They have made a lot of albums and a lot of them are worth having especially if your into collecting vinyl like yourself. My favourite album is aoxomoxoa. Great band and one of my favourites.

I'd recommend a live double album called FOR THE FAITHFUL... they were always meant to be listened to live, you can't go wrong with this one...if it still exists. i had it on cassette back in the 80's.

Rugeley Villa Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 They made some good live albums and we're definitely a live band. It all depends if rob likes endless jamming. They even did a gig in Egypt next to the pyramids. They often get thrown in with bands like Jefferson airplane, the doors etc and although they are fine bands I think the grateful dead had a bit more about them. Much more diverse and could pull off the jamming better without it get boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
