Final - 1-Phish v 1-Grateful Dead

[fauxpaxfauxreal]

Morning dew is more akin to slave, imo.

[McGrupp]

I've been voting not based on personal preference, but what I think is more musically "important".

that's not the point

it's why I didn't vote in any of these.  it was obvious it would come down to phish vs. gd and phish would win.
if I had voted, I would have voted for phish in every match up too.

paraphrasing the hicks quote on page 1, phish is what they are to us and we aren't going to vote for anyone over them.  no matter how great some of these bands are against them, no other bands moves us like phish does.
they are our band (ok, that may be closer to a direct quote than a paraphrase)

I've been seeing Phish for about 20 years and I love them, but nothing will ever move me like the Grateful Dead...ever.

I think they are equally gorgeous songs.  I've never heard the dead jam as beautifully as the 7/2/97 Stash jam, personally.

Agreed, at it's best Dew was like church.

obviously, there are exceptions on the board.  most of us never saw the dead.  I'm old enough to have had a chance to see the dead in their later years but was never a huge fan.  I was speaking in general about the user class here.

I can totally understand people not picking anyone over the dead, just like I can understand people voting for phish in every poll.

oh, and btw, moe. won the real poll.

As is Slave.

What Jerry lacks in technique, he trumps in SOUL. And Tom Marshall couldn't eat the peanuts out of Hunter's shit.

If this was a contest between Hunter and Marshall, Hunter would win hands down. But it's not so I gotta go with the boys from vermont.

Hunter vs. Marchall, LOL!
That's like comparing Dr. Seuss with J. R. R. Tolkien

Sorry, that was a slam to Dr. Seuss, I guess I was referring to the maturity level of the writing.

I know what you mean, but I agree with the analogy.  Count me among those who prefer Marshall to Hunter.  I think that Marshall's use of language is highly underrated by many.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate Hunter also, I just prefer Marshall for his sense of humor and wacky usage of obscure verbage.
