Not attempting to dis you, but saying "Casey Jones" is your favorite Dead song is the very definition of "not really much of a fan" as it's their one classic rock fodder tune.
The other extreme is that if you say "St. Stephen" is your favorite Dead song then you are likely an absolute hippie who views them as a religion and think patchouli is the answer to never having to use soap again.
I still like some of their music despite their moronic following. Honestly, I think looking out there to all those dancing bear fools worshiping him must be a big part of why Garcia was so self destructive.
"Feel Like a Stranger" is a really good example of what they could sound like at their darkest and heaviest. "Cold Rain and Snow", "Jackstraw", "Comes a Time", "China Doll", they definitely had their moments.
