The band was known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of rock, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, country, jazz, psychedelia, and space rock—and for live performances of long musical improvisation. \"Their music,\" writes Lenny Kaye, \"touches on ground that most other groups don't even know exists.\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fans of the Grateful Dead, some of whom followed the band from concert to concert for years, are known as \"Deadheads\" and are known for their dedication to the band's music. Many referred to the band simply as \"the Dead.\"\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Grateful Dead's musical influences varied widely; in concert recordings or on record albums one can hear psychedelic rock, blues, rock and roll, country \u0026amp; western, bluegrass, country-rock, and improvisational jazz. These various influences were distilled into a diverse and psychedelic whole that made the Grateful Dead \"the pioneering Godfathers of the jam band world.\" They were ranked 55th in the issue The Greatest Artists of all Time by Rolling Stone magazine.\u003c/p\u003e","musicPath":"/music/Grateful+Dead","playStationPath":"/stations/113300007/play","stationId":113300007,"bioPath":"/music/Grateful+Dead/_full_bio","similars":[{"musicPath":"/music/The+Rolling+Stones","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/777/7773845561a62856a48063aa12e1b387_md.jpg","artistName":"The Rolling Stones","artistId":758,"station_id":113263034},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Pretty+Things","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/13e/13e6829d7269d02db5292a76b7d9a0dd_md.jpg","artistName":"The Pretty Things","artistId":5332,"station_id":113269153},{"musicPath":"/music/13th+Floor+Elevators","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/346/346667ec641a0848574284f31c21daba_md.jpg","artistName":"13th Floor Elevators","artistId":7702,"station_id":113474391},{"musicPath":"/music/King+Gizzard+The+Lizard+Wizard","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/b88/b88cc62d0ce60ef85ed9a3cf517ee38a_md.jpg","artistName":"King Gizzard \u0026 The Lizard Wizard","artistId":334271,"station_id":389053147},{"musicPath":"/music/Eagles","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/46e/46ef089343b4896c45064091b1458746_md.jpg","artistName":"Eagles","artistId":9838,"station_id":113263854},{"musicPath":"/music/Bob+Seger+The+Silver+Bullet+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/ed8/ed8f7920406b260506a5ba9a882976f8_md.jpg","artistName":"Bob Seger \u0026 The Silver Bullet Band","artistId":5777,"station_id":113293678},{"musicPath":"/music/Bruce+Springsteen","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/22e/22ef179f01fe28ea4bb39e5a71ea5445_md.jpg","artistName":"Bruce Springsteen","artistId":223,"station_id":113268200},{"musicPath":"/music/Led+Zeppelin","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a95/a95aade3e0a87d7bca89b86855aa9395_md.jpg","artistName":"Led Zeppelin","artistId":496,"station_id":113261811},{"musicPath":"/music/Peter+Frampton","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/286/286f31ce5da354b94850c4bea6c895b1_md.jpg","artistName":"Peter Frampton","artistId":5762,"station_id":113314266},{"musicPath":"/music/Tom+Petty","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/f73/f73605146902e103daa62df3e9f0fb5c_md.jpg","artistName":"Tom Petty","artistId":6266,"station_id":113264827},{"musicPath":"/music/Jimmy+Buffett","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2ee/2ee10b7ee8ba488cdba385ad11cfd87f_md.jpg","artistName":"Jimmy Buffett","artistId":469,"station_id":113262656},{"musicPath":"/music/Gong","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/1be/1beb0824c0d8b93fdffb3a6b4ae62461_md.jpg","artistName":"Gong","artistId":14042,"station_id":113275303},{"musicPath":"/music/Paul+McCartney+Wings","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/6f6/6f615fc26ceeef89b1b2217a7896db15_md.jpg","artistName":"Paul McCartney \u0026 Wings","artistId":78428,"station_id":266994234},{"musicPath":"/music/Jerry+Garcia+Band","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/a19/a1926588dc2e73bd6c9dc1045485360f_md.jpg","artistName":"Jerry Garcia Band","artistId":454243,"station_id":401217524},{"musicPath":"/music/Crazy+Horse","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/2bb/2bb357bb4e499c7f50b2cd3d06687bd8_md.jpg","artistName":"Crazy Horse","artistId":112796,"station_id":282284903},{"musicPath":"/music/Procol+Harum","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/45f/45f5882139fe6b31294222fb53d435fe_md.jpg","artistName":"Procol Harum","artistId":6648,"station_id":113344394},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Youngbloods","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/943/943e767b5b4f50cfe7e4b5c90a60f9fc_md.jpg","artistName":"The Youngbloods","artistId":5767,"station_id":113281960},{"musicPath":"/music/The+Zombies","artistDefaultImage":"https://artist99.cdn107.com/0a1/0a105f7b10e0ebd5d2c298f21c7422b2_md.jpg","artistName":"The Zombies","artistId":6283,"station_id":113267355}]}
