The GRAMMY Hall Of Fame has announced 26 albums to be inducted into their archives this year. Of course, we naturally couldn’t help but notice the Grateful Dead’s 1970 classic release, American Beauty, which features some of the band’s most iconic songs. “Box Of Rain,” “Friend Of The Devil,” “Sugar Magnolia,” “Operator,” “Candyman,” “Ripple,” “Brokedown Palace,” “Till The Morning Comes,” “Attics Of My Life,” and “Truckin’,” to name them all.
