Grateful Dead were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

Grateful Dead

No band embodied the psychedelic rock era's mind-expanding, counterculture vibe better than the Grateful Dead.

During marathon concerts marked by the communal, peaceful atmospheres, the San Francisco troupe combined traditional genres such as folk, bluegrass and roots with experimental, freewheeling musical excursions. Even today, the Grateful Dead boasts a rabid fanbase of loyalists known as Deadheads - all of whom keep the band's legacy and music alive, well and vibrant. More on rockhall.com...
