I gotta go with the Dead here. If not for the Dead, I wouldn't have my 14 year-old son (his name is Danny, but his dad wanted to name him Jerry or Bobby) his middle name is Neil after You-Know-Who

Both bands are good. I'll let the true fans decide.

About 15 years ago at a concert, before I knew her, one of my girl friends handed a dozen roses to Mick Jagger and they showed her on the big screen as she did it.

If we were playing "best pot-induced rambling imitation of Bob Dylan, but less coherent" then maybe it would be the grateful dead.

But this is Rock and Roll. And the Stones are Rock and Roll.

Late votes aside, the Dead have won it!

Ladies and gentlemen the final round

This will be, only because we now have enough people voting, a best-of-13 round requiring 7 votes to win. Again, SEVEN VOTES TO WIN.

Ready:

Pink Floyd
vs
Grateful Dead

Pink Floyd (formed in 1965 in Cambridge, England) is an English rock band, noted for progressive compositions, philosophical lyrics, sonic experimentation, cover art and elaborate live shows. The group is one of rock music's most successful and influential acts, believed to have sold an estimated 73.5 million albums in the U.S.,[1] and over 200 million albums worldwide.[2]

Pink Floyd enjoyed moderate success in the late 1960s as a psychedelic band led by Syd Barrett. Barrett's erratic behaviour caused his colleagues to replace him with guitarist David Gilmour and the band went on to record several elaborate concept albums, achieving worldwide success with 1973's Dark Side of the Moon, 1975's Wish You Were Here and 1979's The Wall, among the best-selling, most critically acclaimed, and enduringly popular albums in rock music history.

-------------------

The Grateful Dead was an American psychedelia-influenced rock band formed in 1965 in San Francisco. The band was known for its unique and eclectic songwriting style—which fused elements of rock, folk music, bluegrass, blues, country, and jazz—and for live performances of long modal jams.

The Grateful Dead began their career in Palo Alto, California as "The Warlocks" ... After meeting their new manager Rock Scully, they moved to the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco. Many bands from this area, such as Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother & the Holding Company, and Santana, went on to national fame, giving San Francisco an image as a center for the hippie counterculture of the era.

Back to the Stones for a minute, I thought their Super Bowl performance sucked. Last year's Paul McCartney thing was canned and boring. Janet Jackson single breastedly set back Super Bowl halftime shows 50 years.

The last decent Super Bowl halftime music was Gwen, No Doubt, and Sting. "Message in a Bottle" with Sting and Gwen singing and No Doubt playing the instrumentals was terrific. A month later Gwen inducts The Police into the Rock Hall of Fame.

If the NFL can't do a decent Super Bowl halftime music act anymore, just cancel the friggin thing. Focus on the football game for Peet's Coffee sake. Enough washed up English acts. Shit, Detroit, Motown, they could have done much better.

pink floyd of course .... like, wtf

HAMMER! HAMMER! HAMMER! HAMMER!

PINK! FLOYD! PINK! FLOYD!

Floyd takes an early commanding 4-1 lead over the Dead. But in the rough-and-tumble Cellar-64 tourneys, you never know until the last vote.

No activity anticipated in after-market trading. East Coast dwellar rock fans expected to voice their opinion in several hours. The highly-coveted Cellar-64 Rock Championship hangs in the balance.....

has to be floyd.
