All their music sounds the same. Sure, I can hear one of their songs and know what its title is; they don't just photocopy the sheets. However, listening to a Dead song that you haven't heard before is unlikely to be a very new experience. This is even more so now, when they don't even bother to write any more songs. I'll grant you that they have a reasonable amount of talent with their instruments, but it's nothing really awesome. It would take some truly amazing performers to make such same-seeming songs interesting. Bye, I'm unsubscribing. Any flames I get will be ignored. net.music.who, net.music.floyd, net.music.zappa, anyone? Tim Maroney
