what the hell is a jamband anyway. all rock bands "jam" when they are on stage. they improvise, do long instrumental sets without much vocals sometimes.

maybe "jamband" refers more to the fanbase than the music?

 

jamband, reminds me more of ageing rockers who play lynyrd skynyrd/status quo covers in a pub on friday nights...

 

jamband is a genrahof music however the hell u spell it of music.....i dont know but its defintly the best music out there along with reggae and bluegrass

 

Hey yea! thats a good question, would Led Zep be considered a Jam band? They played half hour long versions of many of their songs.

What about Steppenwolf with their half hour Pusher man?

and lets not forget Vanilla Fudge!

 

no way, Led Zep are rock n roll! jambands are more like, lets play over one riff for ages, it's much more about having fun i guess, it's not very deep music.
i'm not saying theres anything wrong with it, i love listening to it sometimes!!
dude, it's the greatest genre in your opinion, for me, experimental rock is at the top

yea i would agree i think it like you said a soft type playful music, warming and bubellie i think many many bands dabble into other genres of music though many jambads do i would definitly say

 

ok fair enough, i'm going to bed now anyway
it's hard to understand you when you only use one comma.

 

How could you leave out the Allman Brothers!!

 

check out the slip, and the bad plus... the bad plus aren't really a "jam band" per say, more of an acid-jazz band. they're on a level like mmw...

 

I like oasis, the verv, matchbox 20, badly drawn, marcy playgorund, smashing pumpkins, the old green day a bit too event hough they arent really a jam band

 

Umphrey's McGee, Disco Biscuits, Yonder Mountian String Band!!!

 

Particle, Sound Tribe Sector 9, Soulive, The New Deal and Topaz are also bands you should check out if you enjoy the jam band genre. OH and ABSOLUTELY, the Assembly of Dust, in my opinion the best song writing jam band on the circuit today.

 

BUT WAIT! Isnt rock n' roll your standard Little Richard, Big Bopper kind of stuff?

How will I live if I cannot catagorize my music correctly !!!!???!?!?

 

i heard that Mogwai was a jam band? I hate categorizing music! Mogwai is really good. So check em out!

 

you can't catogorise some music, which is good. man, i'm a musician, i try and make it as hard as possible for people to do that to me... yeah little richard was rock n roll, he was one of the guys who helped it grow!! but man, ya can't deny that Led Zep was one of the greatest rock n roll bands ever...
we shouldn't catogorise it, nevermind.

and mogwai are no way a jam band, thats the LAST thing i would have called them! *grins*

 

best "jamband" I have ever seen........ phil lesh and friends.

the whole show was one constant jam....... then they would fade into a certain song that people know like cosmic charlie, or scarlet begonias.... whatever. the only break they took was at the end of the sets.

 

The Allman's have had some legendary jams with the Grateful Dead. Besides those two, Phish is also pretty good.

 

Well then I guess The Mars Volta is a Jamband, when I saw them they seamlessly integrated all their songs, and made up new parts and new songs on the spot. They're a Jamband right?
