The Grateful Dead
It isn’t necessary to be a Deadhead to figure out that the Grateful Dead made huge contributions to the rock and roll scene back in the day. The psychedelic sound they produced was infused with elements of country, blues, folk, and rock that changed the course of the 60’s counterculture. The group members hailed from the Bay Area, and they were as follows: Jerry Garcia, Bill Kreutzmann, Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, and Pigpen McKernan.
The Stooges
The members of the Stooges all hailed from Ann Arbor, Michigan. The proto-punk musical act was nothing like the other bands during the late 60’s and early 70’s, to say the least. We can’t ever forget when the lead singer Iggy Pop led grotesque acts of self-mutilation while on the stage! We’re sure that the other members of the band will always remember this as well.
