I would think not...of course, some people would argue that you *can* be (Grateful) Dead and still be on the cutting edge :-) "I'll always see that hole in my dreams" -Sue

Well, I am generally not one to respond to "cutting edge" and "best
group/guitarist/bodily attributes" postings, but I don't recall seeing
the only band whose work I feel to be truly "on the cutting edge" mentioned:
I am of course referring to THE RESIDENTS.
I highly recommend their music and especially their videos to anyone
who feels s/he has seen all there is to see in modern musical creativity.
The Residents' music is difficult to describe, but I doubt that I will
find many individuals who will disagree with me when I say that they are
truly unique; I'll even go so far as to say they DEFINE the cutting edge
of modern music. If you haven't heard them yet (I know that quite a few
net-people have), do yourself a favour and check out one or two of their
albums -- especially recommended is the four-part MOLE TRILOGY (no, I am
not kidding...it's probably the only four part trilogy in existence).
I personally like "Duck Stab" the best --I got it in a cutout bin for $2.99.
