lol @ Rolling Stone
ha! my first thought when looking at the list...
-
thanks for posting this, zuke. i\'m gonna blog about it.
-
Without the criteria used to form this list, it is just a list.
What did Rolling Stone use as factors to decide this list?
I can write a list, too.
-
Rollingstones is so out of touch. I am boycotting.
-
allman bros would def be in my top 5, i dunno about #1 tho. DMB is ser. the crowd cheers at the lights more than the music, easily. bright lights on the audience at dmb show= oom pah pah
-
I wouldn\'t consirder zeplin a jam band
-
Wow, that list is ridiculous. Even more ridiculous and slightly entertaining are the comments to the actual article. And damn, I feel old. I feel like I was kicking it when the term jamband became popular. And I don\'t know what deems, mahldog, and jenkem are.(these are terms from the RS article, btw)
Relix used to refer to jambands as \'Bay Rock.\' Meaning that they drew influence from the bands that originated from the San Fran area in the mid to late 60s. Solar Circus, Stackabones, Sandoz, New Potato Caboose, Living Earth, Indecision, Max Creek, these are bands I think of when I hear \'jamband.\' But true to form, and as it should, the term encompasses a whole lot more stylistically than it used to. Evolution: stoned by the massive rock(C. Gockley)

Live albums have shown that Zeppelin, Hendrix, and Santana jammed considerably in concert. But I have never heard a definition of "jam band" that accurately describes them.
This list should have been titled, "Rolling Stone Attempts to Appeal to a Larger Fanbase and Fails By Putting Out the Most Generic List Possible That Demonstrates No Knowledge of the Jam Band Genre ".
Though, admittedly, that wouldn\'t fit nearly as well on a magazine cover.

hmmmm, quite silly indeed. It was a readers poll for anyone interested, which goes to show the only people dumber than RS writers are their readers

Dicky Betts spammed the shit out of it using proxy servers

Ok... so does anybody else believe that a "jamband" would consist of bands that play improvisational music? As far as I\'ve listened Dave Matthews should not get the nod as a jamband. Just because people follow him around like other "jamband"ish types of groups that shouldn\'t qualify him. Don\'t get me wrong he\'s good at what he does but as far as jamming... for real? Everything is structured and over time he just learns new things to do and adds them in. There\'s never a change in the feel or the mood that is completely "improvisational"... Again, I\'m not bashing him just don\'t think he fits that genre. He just blends with it well.
-
Listen to Jimi at Woodstock, that\'s definitely a jamband type show.
-
I dunno DMB is cuttin the criteria pretty close... but My Morning Jacket is def not a jam band. I\'d call that pretty much straight up rock and roll (served with a side of weak sauce).
-
I have never liked the term "jam band."
Firstly, it doesn\'t sound very professional:
Rock and Roll
Classic Rock
Funk
Punk
Post-Punk
Alt Rock
Post-Rock
Metal (and it\'s sub-genres)
Noise
Industrial
Tribal
New Age
House
...jam band?
I think "Improv band" at least sounds better or "experimental rock"

I will give you that DMB is close... to me they\'re just not as off the cuff improv and others that I\'d consider jamband. And as far as MMJ, I d/l one of there albums... the singer kills me at times, sounds like old Beck stuff but you defintely are right from there studio albums. I haven\'t heard any of their live stuff.

I just list is as "Jam" in my iTunes
-
Musics which subsequently jam.
-
if either gd or phish is not number 1 on that list,smells like horse shit to me in my book!
-
Willie Waldman Project = #1
-
Here\'s my thinking:
1 - Grateful Dead
2 - Phish
3 - Allman Brothers
After that it get tough and goes pretty much by personal opinion.

i agree.
what do all those have in common........ no band at the end
-
Miles Davis should def be on the list as well as any number of Jazz musicians
The list is terrible tho.
-
Doesn\'t the term jambands refer to the groups as a collective though? Not neccesarily the genre they are classified under... You wouldnt say look at all those Rock & Rolls or those , would you? It would be those Rock and Roll bands (as a generalized collective). It really is difficult to put a label on the "genre name" that these groups would fall under because they are all so individual in their sounds. The only common theme for most of them is improvisation (aka "jamming" I guess) but stylistically thier "sounds" for the most part are extremely different from each other.
