if i could only remember my name vs. workingman's dead

dead

I haven't heard the latter but I LOVE the David Crosby record. And so does Henry Rollins!

probably workingman's dead? i like the crosby record, but actually feel like it's a little overrated, at least in some circles.

i'm with lollins

crosby record is great no doubt but wd is front-to-back incredible

Listening to crosby now

Dead.

ugh. lemme guess, anything vs gd = gd? now who's overrated

easy wind is the only thing i don't really dig on WD. otherwise, it's perfect. pigpen was the fly in the ointment. but that's the dead for you.

i like easy wind! thats what made me think of the poll, cowboy movie kinda reminds me of easy wind

ugh. lemme guess, anything vs gd = gd? now who's overrated

you're nominating an album conceded by many as one of the greatest albums of the rock era vs. a cult classic - there aren't a whole lot of albums that can compete with the grateful dead completely reinventing themselves & adding a whole fistful of songs to the american songbook. iicormn is great but it doesn't have an "uncle john's band" on it.

bill walton 2 thread

To quote Alice Cooper: "I Love the Dead". Granted I believe he was talking about something else, but it works here.

the crosbo imo.
much as a i love WD, i really prefer AB as far as the dead goin' rootsy.

Crosby for sure (& I love the Dead & this album)---I'll take its spookiness over the more genial vibe of Workingman's Dead. "Laughing" is an all-time great.

WD, my favorite dead LP by far. IICORMN is great too, but several cuts below.

i really dig the crosby album and the people who play on it, but i find that i listen to these two albums way more over the last couple of years. mainly cuz i didn't know how great they were until i got nice copies 4 or 5 years ago:

voting for the Cros cause that album is a fairly recent discovery and sounds fresh whereas I know W's D like the back o my hand. good matchup, though.

iirc, most of the dead play on the cros alb... it's almost like another 'lost' dead rec, like 'Ace'

Crosby, hands down - but I have very little patience with the Dead.

workingman's dead. love both these albums, though.

man, "high time" hits so hard.

Crosby wins for me. Like the Dead tho' not this record so much.
Those Nash LPs are great.

just been listening to this beaut - generous selections from an early and late 1970 show that they played roundabout the time that workingman's was released, nice mixture of acoustic and electric dead, including some of their less common folkie covers - the acoustic sequence of black peter/friend of the devil/uncle john's band is really sweet, shame they were always so popular cos you can imagine garcia would've been amazing to see in a small club setting just playing his guitar

those graham nash records are both utter classics.
