Anyone who can mention the Grateful Dead and Twisted Sister in the same sentence has demonstrated that he would, in fact, be happier in another newsgroup/mailing list. I guess all music that you don't like seems much the same, but if I were interested in electronic music and jazz I'd be paying attention to what the Dead are up to. If anyone REALLY wants to start another splinter group, please add me to net.music.dead. Michael C. Berch mcb@lll-tis.ARPA {akgua,ihnp4,sun}!idi!lll-tis!mcb

Well, gee, I'd better be careful. If I ever talk about two different kinds of music, I'd better remember never to mention them in the same sentence, or I'll no doubt end up receiving the same thoughtful invitation. If I don't already. "But I *like* Bach and Schoenberg!" "Tough luck, buddy. Out!" Jeff Winslow

We'll let you stay on, if only you keep it shut. Moral: Don't mess with DEADHEADS! Andy Bindan

What Nick Cuccia said does not imply that he lumps the three together musically, just that he lumps the three together in a distasteful pile. Although you never know... Are you there Nick?

The Dead are usually played on many AOR stations. They are, in fact, a staple. I heard a Dead song on WNEW, New York's AOR station, about a day or two ago. No, they've never had a TOP 40 hit but they do get played on most AOR station. "This just shows that you do not know of what you speak. We'll let you stay on, if only you keep it shut." Moral: Don't HEAD with DEADmess! -- "That'S why I go for that Peter Merchant rock 'n' roll music."

I admit that the Dead (despite my misspellings) has its merits, but I'm afraid that I can't say the same for Dee and the boys... 8-} I'm also not saying that all (or even most) of what's spewing forth out of top-40 and AOR stations (which is where my exposure to the Grateful Dead comes from, btw... WLUP, Chicago) is necessarily dreck; but what I'm trying to say is that it's a pain to weed through so much net garbage to find something of interest. That occasionally happens, so I bear thru net.music. But if time is important, I read net.music.classical first... --Nick Cuccia --cuccia%ucbmiro@Berkeley --...!ucbvax!cuccia
