I’m not going to attack you personally but owning a greatest hits album and “American Beauty” is a surefire way to NOT get into the Dead. They are not a band to be appreciated by their studio production. It’s their live performances. It’s the bootleg albums where you get who they really were. 
Also, I loved the Dead and I also loved Bowie and Elvis Costello. Not Alice Cooper. Loathe Steely Dan. So boring. 
Why do people have to fit into such neat boxes with you? 
Do you think there’s a special store people go to and say I’m a Deadhead and they issue you a set of albums and clothes and that’s what you get for life? Is that what you were given? That’s silly and immature. It also probably keeps you from discovering some truly fun things if you think “but I’m THIS so I can’t like THAT!”
I have a 13 YO daughter - we’ve bonded over Taylor Swift and the Hamilton soundtrack. So I’m seeing her this summer and I’ve seen Hamilton twice now. I’m also seeing U2. Should my love of classic rock prevent these other things? No. Life is interesting. Evolve.
