Dave says I have to ask you which was the vinyl, since I guessed Julian Cope.  Must be that Frozen Ghost.  (I was giving you props for identifying FG.)

Trade secret: I googled lyrics. That one's a Narada to me.

LOL!  Even Steven Tyler wouldn't have minded missing this thing.

:cry:
Yes, it does sound like the Grateful Dead, but the reason it was a hit was because of the special something it  hit in people, a certain positive bounce.  I even remember how killer it sounded at Candlestick when it was played.  People were groovin!

Didn't hurt that they made a memorable video for it while MTV was still quite influential.

That said, it's in my top 5 Dead songs:
1. Box of Rain
2. Ripple
3. Uncle John's Band
4. Touch of Grey
5. The Wheel

your #5 is technically not the Dead, but rather Jerry solo.  That said it'd probably be in my top 5 as well, as would Ripple & UJ'sB, probably.  Franklin's Tower has been in there lately.  Maybe Dire Wolf.

Well, it's technically a Dead song, unless you are restrictively limiting it to studio recordings.  It's on many live CD's by full band.

oh, Wang Chung were the TOTHC.


WOS to their fake horns, one of my least favorite late-'80s identifiers.
