@ Rory -- well, not against "Dad" laws . . . but your Dad is YOUNG! young enough to NOT be from my Dad's generation -- DAMN!
my best friend in high school used to babysit for a couple who owned the second Velvet Underground LP -- by then (mid-1970s, my mid-teenage years) that album was like my Bible . . . when i asked about it, the wife said something like, "oh, that's all just noise" . . . !!!

Jeff, in your opinion, if you were going to give a Grateful Dead album to someone who’s never heard one, which would it be?
Avatar 1:18am
Jeff Conklin:

@Borba: I'd need to know what kind of music they listen to. If they like their folk/country rock, go American Beauty or Workingman's Dead. If they listen to a lot of psych, Live/Dead. If they love all of that, Europe 72.

Or first Garcia solo. Everyone can love that...

@El Borba no prob. My other answer would be "listen to Jeff's show" :)

*skull and roses is great! I was exposed via Europe 72 initially, which I feel is also a great place to start. Still sorta my favorite.

I’m with you, @Wavy - at this time, Europe ‘72 is go-to. But I’ll check out Skull & Roses.

I like Europe 72 also, but it can be a little overwhelming for the novice. The closing of The Fillmore bootleg is pretty darn good, too.
