These bands generally experiment with jazz, world music, progressive bluegrass, and psychadelic rock.

Other characteristics:
:point: - Often play many cover songs during live performances
:point: - Utilize elaborate light shows
- Are share-friendly; have live performances on the Internet Archive (http://www.archive.org) or Easy Tree (bt.etree.org)

Disclaimer: There is nothing \'Official\' about these lists. They are compiled by the \'editor\' using the
stated criteria, and revised considering the competent suggestions of visitors to this website only.

For example, take a look at the 100 most skilled drummers :sigh:

Soooo, I guess a cover band with a great light show is a "jamband"? :lol:

This guy doesn\'t have a clue. He\'s probably subscribed to Rolling Stone magazine for years and treats it like the bible for the music world.
