YMSB

Dont forget the jam bands of old. Santana, Pink Floyd, the Wailers, Big Brother, Jefferson Airplane. These folks used to jam with as much intenstity as the Grateful Dead. In my mind I believe Santana actually popularized improvisational music before the Dead made it big. Santana was the first real "jam band"

 

I know alot of people may hate me for this, but I think Phish is a better jamband than the Grateful Dead

 

ooh, that is bold man. But then again, Phish is at the bottom of my list

Gratefull Dead
String Cheese Incident
CSNY
Ekoostik Hookah
STS9
Day By the River
Jethro Tull
moe.
New Monsoon
Phish

 

The Grateful Dead
Allman Brothers
Deep Purple
Mood Cultivation Project

 

i previously said that Phish was the best, but equal to Phish is Jefferson Airplane

 

The Dead
Phish
Pink Floyd
Karl Denison's Tiny Universe

and no, my morning jacket is NOT a jam band hehehe

 

hell yeah, you have to have some bluegrass on that list. but i'd still say wsp should be on the top 5 list and i think hookah has the potential to be on that list soon.

 

oh man I can't believe hendrix is on nobodies list!! he is the God of guitar jams....he can't be beat!

as far as santana being the first jammer......I'm pretty sure the dead had him beat by jamming as the Warlocks in the early 60's....even they say they got there jam style from ottis redding

as for my favs.....(in a random order)
definaly the dead
phish
jimi hendrix
TOOL
galactic (or any other stanton moore affiliation)
Particle

Ur list is good but I think it would be better if it went something like this:
1.Phish
2.Moe
3.Keller Williams
4.Ekoustic Hookah
5.String Cheese
6.Widespread Panic

 

Grateful Dead


Mothers Of Invention
