I think you're probably right, as I can't think of any other American band as consistent as the Dead, although it's all subjective, isn't it? They were big over here in the states, but never were REALLY huge (except for Touch of Grey) and certainly didn't get regular radio play.
Box of Rain I think is one of the best songs ever written, and I like all sorts of music. Indeed the whole album American Beauty is wonderful, and Workingman's Dead is just behind it, IMO. I think the one I play most though is Reckoning. I love the acoustic vibe and makes me think of sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows in my youth.
