Hmm, after due consideration my vote goes to Parliafunkadelicment.
More heart, more soul, more disparate influences, more consistant, more influential,better hooklines, better musicians,etc. Oh, musn't forget their sheer theatricality too.
Mind you, the Dead have rarely engaged me, i just never seemed to get 'em, it probably speaks volumes that my fave Dead LP is Workingmans.
Sly & the Family Stone would be right up there too BTW.
