The Grateful Dead plodded on and on with a lot of mediocre performances and recordings for the faithful a lot more than Pink Floyd.
Pink Floyd's output is a lot more concise and meaty than the Dead's.
PF was at leat innovative in their day, FBOFW.
The Dead were, well, the Dead, whatever that is/was. I like some of their stuff.
Both were undeniably successful. Neither were probably overrated, at least by the press.
Both still worth occasional listens, but been there, done that for the most part. There is a lot of other new music (to me at least) to discover out there and listen to.
