9. Grateful Dead – American Beauty (1970)


This album is good hippie folk music, it continues the folk feel of Working man’s dead, The Grateful Dead’s previous album. The songs on this album sound different because everyone in the band can be heard singing together on almost all of the tracks. The opening three songs, Box of rain, Friend of the devil, and Sugar magnolia are my three favorite of the album, go listen to this album if you like this type of music.
On a side note, I started listening to the Grateful Dead when I watched the TV show Freaks and Geeks and the hippie kids tell the main character to go listen to American Beauty, and her own problems won’t seem so bad. I feel the same way about this album, so thank you to Freaks and Geeks.
Another side note: If a grateful Dead fan is called a Dead Head, then a Radiohead fan is called a HeadHead. LOL GET IT?
