I vote FOR the creation of net.music.gdead. Someone has asked what makes the music of the gdead so different from all else that they deserve their own group? My answer is absolutely nothing. Their music, to my ears, is far less destiguishable from standard radio fare than some of the progressive groups recently put-down by one of the deadheads campaigning for gdead (ELP, Yes, etc.). But even if their music doesn't distinguish them (in my opinion), one thing certainly does: The extreme fanaticism of their fans, who are capable of generating disks full of tour dates, playlists and completely non-music related trivia. I think both deadheads and non-deadheads would be best served by the creation of a subgroup.
