What am I missing about this band?

I was a late-comer Grateful Dead fan starting in the late 70s, up
until the band was no more. I smoked a lot of weed and could sit still
for hours, thinking about everything and nothing, while enjoying their
bluesy noodling and thoughtful lyrics.

Then, along came Phish. I tried and I tried, and I've tried, again.
But, still, to this day, they seem like a bunch of bored ivy leaguers
sitting around a stuffy living room making that shit up as they go
along.

What am I missing? I want to love this band named Phish.

They both suck ass. I find nothing at all appealing about the
Grateful Dead....suck ass music put out by drug addled losers. They
led a generation of idiots further down the road to drug addiction.

"Don't Fear the Raper" was a good song, though.

sucked ass....but I did not alter my reality in order to listen to it.

I attended a bunch of Grateful Dead shows - showered and sober. Your
view is skewed. Saying they Suck Ass after one bad experience is like me
saying you're a moronic dolt after reading one of your posts. Capice?

Thanks for your input, harsh dude.

I'd still like someone to compare and contrast the general styles of
the two bands (Phish and The Grateful Dead) to see what it is that I
may be missing, related to my dislike of Phish, specifically.

So you're in the 5% that are showered and sober. And I didn't say
this one experience made me think they suck ass....I felt they sucked
ass before, but was talked into going by those who don't think they
suck ass....I came away thinking they still suck ass. And after
reading Tom Davis's (of Franken and Davis fame) new book I came away
thinking they suck ass even more than I'd ever imagined anything could
suck ass.

In other words, you don't like them. BFD.

This has been a pretty harsh response from a laid-back pothead.
Maybe he needs a fix?
