I do like all the ones you listed. Which song was the one that kind of "broke through" and people other than "dead heads" started to pay attention? Was it Sugar Magnolia or Touch of Grey?Originally posted by Celeste Chalfonte View PostNot where I breathe, but where I love, I live...

Probably Sugar Magnolia. Eminently danceable and pretty clear, unmetaphorical lyrics.Originally posted by phillygirl View Post"Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality.

I must disagree. "Touch of Gray" was all over the radio and MTV.Originally posted by Celeste Chalfonte View Post“I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.

Yeah, that was my point. The Dead was known and appreciated by a select group of fans, hard core fans. I couldn't remember which song it was that brought it to mainstream...as in every preppy college kid suddenly "discovering" them. I guess it was Touch of Grey. I was a preppy college student, however, my boyfriend was not. So when Touch of Gray came out it was funny to me. I'm not hugely into music, but I knew so many of the Dead songs because of my boyfriend and his friends who had been going to the shows for year.Originally posted by Celeste Chalfonte View PostNot where I breathe, but where I love, I live...

Ah, I didn't realize you were speaking of "breaking through" to the children of people who weren't deadheads. Because I wasn't (and still am not) a true Dead fan. Never went to a concert, never followed them in my converted van (of which I didn't have one), only ever owned one of their albums. But serious deadheads were already gray-haired by the time MTV came along. Sugar Magnolia turned a lot of us non-deadheads into casual Dead fans nearly a generation earlier than MTV. I'm actually not sure I've ever heard this Touch of Grey.Originally posted by phillygirl View Post
ETA: So, for those who remember, which was their greatest album: Workingman's Dead or American Beauty?Last edited by Celeste Chalfonte; Friday, July 2, 2021, 8:19 AM."Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality.
