A friend of mine said you either have the Grateful Dead gene or you don't. I understand many people don't like them. I wouldn't say they weren't complex, though. Phil Lesh's bass lines are about as complex as you can get, and Jerry Garcia's lead guitar goes way beyond the basic blues scales of the other bands I mentioned. They even made this list: https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/friday_top_25_most_complex_songs_of_all_time-85527
Sorry if I got carried away. I'm just an old deadhead.

I mean, yea, I can appreciate the Jethro Tull and ELO(?) and James Bond soundtrack allusions ... but mostly it just sounds like trying not to ever have any identifiable rhythm for as long as possible. Like many others in that list, complexity at the expense of melody. That said I bet a live show would be amazing.

Okay- not complex enough, but this one is too complex, derivative, and doesn't respect the melody? Jethro Tull? ELO? James Bond? Interesting take. I'm curious as to your tastes? Name a few bands you like? We may be from different planets, I suspect:)
