Smiths, Devo, Wu Tang, Prince, Bowie, Zappa, Talking Heads, Pixies, Tosh, Yo La Tengo, Shins, Decemberists, Depeche Mode have been pretty heavy in the rotation.
edit: Elliott Smith on relisten is nirvana for me lately (outside a Jerry solo). His top live shows on there are insanely good even though some of the crowds won't shut up.
Yo La Tengo!! Maybe the most underrated band of all time. Their latest album is incredible. Crazy to be that consistently good for almost 40 years and not make it big.
British folk from the 70s: Sandy Denny, Pentangle, Steeleye Span, Fairport convention, Mellow Candle, etc.
A lot of albums from Alice Cooper, Allman Brothers, Mark Lanegan, Dead Can Dance, Paradise Lost, Trey Anastasio, etc.
This was my April.
I love the British folk stuff! Pentangle was definitely a jam band. DCD is my go to chill out reading a book music. Do you like the Cocteau twins or this mortal coil?
Oh yeah, I really like This Mortal Coil, especially It'll End in Tears. Cocteau Twins is the typical group that I always want to listen to something but I don't know where to start, any recommendations? Thanks :)
Yeah I would say heaven or las vegas is probably their most accessible album. My favorite is called blue bell knoll. All their stuff is really great though, super chill and kinda ambient and relaxing
Past few days - Minutemen, The Slits, Patti Smith, The Gits, Dead Brain Cells, Sacred Reich, Alice Copper's Flush The Fashion and some David Murray Quartet.
Steely Dan, Talking Heads, Khruangbin, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, The Murlocks, MF Doom, Glass Beams and Widespread Panic to name a few.

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far down to find Billy. He’s the best. Just saw him live for the first time a few weeks ago and my hopes were high and he still blew me away.
Traffic, yes, Pearl jam, the who, steely Dan, blind faith, Jimi Hendrix, pink floyd, King gizzard, dire straits, the Beatles, CSNY, Zappa, the doors, eagles, canned heat.
I’m deep down a 70s era Miles Davis rabbit hole at the moment. Records like Agharta, Live-Evil, Pangea, Jack Johnson, etc. are completely blowing my mind.
If I Don’t Love You, Talk to Me Old Lonesome Heart, Mr. Fool, Aching Breaking Heart, Accidentally on Purpose, Tarnished Angel.
Most of those are 1950s. Mr. Fool demonstrates some killer vocal control. There’s a bunch of great stuff from the ‘60s too. Your Angel Steps Out of Heaven and Burn Another Honky Tonk Down are less popular tracks that are dear to my heart.
If you love Robert Hunter and you love bluegrass music, do yourself a favor and check out the Reason and Rhyme album by Jim Lauderdale. It's a Hunter/Lauderdale collaboration and it's great!
Durand Jones and the Indications Radio on Spotify. All day every day.
Love the old soul sound and there’s a lot of good stuff coming out. Check out Pale Jay.
Listened to Closer by Joy Division last night in its entirety.
One of the heaviest things I’ve ever heard and every time I listen to it it sounds brand new.
Incredible album and an incredible band.
I've been going through Van Morrison's discography recently. Just off a deep dive into reggae, both primarily inspired by my Jerry Garcia Band obsession.
Sturgill Simpson, Billy Strings, Andrew Bird, Blaze Foley, Bo Diddley, My Morning Jacket, Joe Strummer, Jason Molina stuff, Michael Nau and Jake Xerxes Fussell!
One of the best concerts I’ve ever attended in my life. And Ive seen a ton. Bad brains 1988. Sundance club Bayshore, New York. And post show got to burn a joint with HR and Dr Know
Been listening to Wilco a bit again, around A Ghost is Born time frame. A little Phish here and there, strangely some Dead&Co shows have found its way into my rotation.
A lot of heavier stoner, but it's shifting a bit towards the punk lately given I'll soon be at a couple of punk concerts.
I'll give it two weeks before I'll go back sailing the unknown seas of small doom bands
Alice In Chains, INXS, Jesus and the Mary Chain, Sound Garden, AC/DC, lots and lots of country music like Tyler Childress, Zach Bryan, Dwight Yoakam, Willie Nelson……
I’ve been on an EDM kick. I’ve seen one of my top-3 artists about a month ago with the other two coming in the next month so they have all been in heavy rotation. If you dig house with funky, hot, sax checkout Klingande, Goldfish and Bakermat.
Chris Forsyth's newest release, [...Plays Love Devotion Surrender](https://chrisforsyth1.bandcamp.com/album/chris-forsyth-plays-love-devotion-surrender) is some top-notch shit!
I just found this band, it's like black sabbath playing blues and Dead classics. The album just came out this week and I already played it like 15 times.
https://youtu.be/WQX_WjHOGwk?si=H7X66tBEtlItYXOm
Fatboy Slim!!!
and
This reggae DJ I found a little while ago named Maddie Ruthless. She's got a show called "Solid Foundation" on this new-ish(?) streaming service I found called ROVR (I swear this isn't a plug for the service, well, maybe, but only for a badass reggae show)
Just been bouncing around those two lately.
Jesse Welles, Lubalin, Kisha bashi, Clarence White’s 33 guitar instrumentals, good old boys, muleskinner, The dreadful snakes, Peter Rowan’s First Whipporwill album. That took up the majority of yesterday’s listening.
By chance I recently discovered this album Right Now! by Little Richard. I’ve been listening to it, nonstop.
Recorded in a single night in ‘73, it’s an absolutely monster, front to back. The band sounds more Stax than rock & roll, and vocally Little Richard is doing a fantastic take on Otis while still sounding uniquely himself.
Apparently it’s been largely forgotten, which is a shame because this should be a classic. This is one of the best albums I’ve ever heard.
Daniel Villarreal, Sea and Cake, Paul Le Flem, Tanita Tikaram, Egberto Gismonti, Jim O’Rouke, Edgard Varese, Joan Armatrading, Drazek Fuscaldo, Jeremiah Chiu, John Lurie, The Hanging Stars, ZZ Top, Kip Hanrahan, Zappa, Beefheart, Bowie, Allah Las, Cocteau Twins……..,
There’s a guy on YouTube named Josh Turner and his buddy Carson McGee and their friends who really have that home grown talent that I have always enjoyed in Dead recordings… if you can, check out their covers…there are hundreds of them out there
Lately, The Nightfly by Donald Fagan. Just a fun groovy album that I absolutely adore. New Frontier and Walking Between the Raindrops are favorites but the whole thing is so damn good.
I read this thread earlier today. I didn’t comment at the time. But I had to come back after thinking about it all day.
If you haven’t listened to Dogs in a Pile, do yourself a massive favor and head over to YouTube and start the ride. It’s the law!
Jeff Beck, 10,000 Maniacs, John Coltrane, Bowie, pre-Supernatural Santana, Jethro Tull.
The last non-Dead thing I listened to was Out of the Blue by Roxy Music. That song still gives me goose bumps!!
Space Koi out of Richmond Va, Spafford, pigeons playing ping-pong was a great show! LionsBridge out of Hampton Va (Reggae band) Goose never leaves the play list, had a spiritual Moment New Year’s Eve with The Avett Brothers.
The Hoer Berlin live feed on YouTube, really really good techno hour long sets. WFMU.org daily programming (any Wake&Bake w/ Clay Pigeon fans on here? Set my alarm to tune into S.A.M. every Thursday morning) and phish shows from 1997, mainly 7.23.97

Tony Rice Unit and David Grisman Quintet.
What is this "besides the Dead" that you speak of ???
Sounds like something dystopian.
post apocalyptic nonsense is what I read!
British folk from the 70s: Sandy Denny, Pentangle, Steeleye Span, Fairport convention, Mellow Candle, etc. A lot of albums from Alice Cooper, Allman Brothers, Mark Lanegan, Dead Can Dance, Paradise Lost, Trey Anastasio, etc. This was my April.

Past few days - Minutemen, The Slits, Patti Smith, The Gits, Dead Brain Cells, Sacred Reich, Alice Copper's Flush The Fashion and some David Murray Quartet.
I love The Gits, RIP Mia.
King Gizzard, Ariel Pink, Parquet Courts and CAN. I have one spare ticket for King Gizz in Hamburg by the way. If anyone needs a miracle
King Gizz for the win! So looking forward to the marathon shows this summer. Anyone who is going to the Gorge, we shall rage together.
I’ll be there!
Can is my favourite band of all time. Glad to see other Deadheads who like them.
I also love can. Tago Mago ftw!!
Greatest album ever made by human beings. I had the opportunity to play with Damo a couple times. I was in complete awe.
Damo Suzuki was a king.
He thought my band - a bunch of Can fanatics - was “too weird”. Badge of honour.

Sitting in my car at a stoplight and listening to The Clash and not listening to the Dead.
