Grateful Dead - by choice Radiohead - still don't know why

And here I thought I was the last person to hear Radiohead in 2005. It would have to be intentional at this point.

I've listened to Radiohead here and there. Just haven't "listened" to Radiohead.

Radiohead - still don't know why? Music message boards were created so pretentious music fans can revel in how great their taste in music is because they are Radiohead fans. If you already have great taste in music without "listening" to Radiohead, why start now? On the other hand, if you are a Muse fan who has never listened to Radiohead, you're doing it wrong. And if you've never listened to Led Zeppelin, face palm.

Not a muse fan and definitely don't fall into the latter category.

So what does it mean if I've listened to Radiohead and don't much care for their music? I also (horror of horrors) disliked their Coachella performance.
Of course, I'm not sure whether I have good taste in music or not either.

A Phish fan who hasn't listened to the Dead is doing it wrong. I've just been so deep in the classics and some quality 2012 releases lately. The Grateful Dead would definitely fall under the classics. Unless of coarse you are talking mid 60's on down.

Just because Phish and the Dead are both technically (generically) referred to as 'jam bands' doesn't necessarily mean there is a lot of crossover between fans. I mean, 'technically' (generically) Dave Matthews Band is also a 'jam band' but... yeah, you know?
I'll tell you this: when we saw Phish at the Gorge last summer, the Deadheads were relegated to their own particularly stinky corner of the campground. It's NOT six of one and half a dozen of the other.
Personally, I don't have much use for the Dead. I love American Beauty -- very, very much -- but nothing else they ever put out does much for me.

However, not having listened to Radiohead in 2012 qualifies as willful ignorance.

And, for me, Animal Collective is a band I haven't given the time of day to.
Aside from that, I'm not sure if I'm missing out on "seminal" bands. Probably a number of newer ones yes, but I've got the 70s, 80s and 90s well-covered.
A question, because I'm curious: how many of you have listened to older Jazz albums with music written / performed by folks like John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Etta Jones, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, Nina Simone, Etta Jones, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Sonny Rollins... ?
I would consider a lot of that music to be seminal in its own way, but this is possibly the wrong crowd.

Yeah, but when I started really listening to Phish, I could definitely hear the Grateful Dead influence.

The Velvet Underground Hüsker Dü Fugazi Husker Du are amazing. You should definitely check them out. Bob Mould has one of the greatest voices in modern music.

And if you've never listened to Led Zeppelin, face palm. Who said that? I've heard them plenty. I've just never felt compelled to dive into their catalog based on the songs I've heard throughout my life.

I will definitely go through that list today. I thought I had my basis covered for this thread, but after some thought, I found there are still many I have overlooked. J-Dawg mentioned some names above I should probably look into. You can keep going back in history, and find many musicians that you have overlooked.

The Velvet Underground Fugazi Both of these bands would make my top 20 list.

I grew up listening to jazz and played trumpet in school from grade 7-12 thanks to one of the best teachers a kid could ask for. I even got to play with Arturo Sandoval once.
