My attempt to describe the Grateful Dead in 10 songs received a reasonable degree of support but I appear to have committed a cardinal sin by not including Dark Star. So that now heads this list of 10 more great Dead songs.

1. Dark Star

2. Saint Stephen

3. Box Of Rain

4. Scarlet Begonias

5. Althea

6. Uncle John’s Band

7. Terrapin Station

8. Friend Of The Devil

9. Eyes Of The World

10. The tenth song breaks my rules about only considering original songs but I admit the lack of Pigpen is a serious flaw in any Dead portrait. It’ll have to be Turn On Your Lovelight, won’t it?
