For a while I was into a surf rock band called the Space Cossacks. They're pretty cool.

Cleared for Takeoff
The Grateful Dead, hands down. Musically extremely accomplished and diverse. Wrote music for Robert Hunter's spacy poems that made them make sense, could play anything from hallucinogenic rock to country to blue grass. In fact, about the only genre of music they didn't perform (although I'm sure they could have) is classical. Concerts way better than their records, which themselves weren't bad.
My appreciation of the Grateful Dead crystallized when I attended a two-day concert set opened by The Who. The second day The Who performed the exact same songs in the exact same order with the exact same antics and jokes. The Dead repeated one song, and their sets were twice as long as The Who's.

Pre-takeoff checklist
In observance of Memorial Day:
Roger Waters' father, Lt. Eric Fletcher Waters, was killed in action at Anzio, 18 February, 1944. Although (Roger) Waters was only 5 months old, his father's death had a profound influence on him that can be heard on every Pink Floyd album. After listening to the album The Final Cut, every previous 'Floyd album was new to me.
As for The Gunner, his song was life changing for all of us.

In the corner of some foreign field
The gunner sleeps tonight
What's done is done
We cannot just write off his final scene
Take heed of the dream
