Really?!  I'm not any sort of obsessive fan of the Dead but it's kind of
hard to ignore their contribution to American music.  And for people who
like guitar music, Garcia had a wonderfully inventive spirit that I
think had no real parallel.  Maybe you're objecting to them being used
in the same sentence as "rock?"  I might make the same case for at least
some of the other acts listed.
