Any chart that puts the Grateful Dead close by in the same quadrant as Jeru The Damaja and Frederic Chopin has tremendous merit by definition, but I think the Dead's music and scene are more Carnival than Dracula - though the latter may have applied to much of the backstage scene in later years

Look where Phish is! Way down the No Sex axis and rightly carnivalesque!

I couldn’t find them in the Carnival quadrant and just assumed they were excluded!

Primal Dead is pretty dracula, midi trumpet firmly carnival; bit of a mixed bag (same with Phish, but I get them being to the right of the GD)
