Who can't love a great jam band? I was just wondering what everyones favorite jam band was and just hear some discussion about them.
 
Personally, I couldn't give half a sh!t for most jam banRAB' recorRAB, and that's my primary exposure to music.

However...nothing beats a good jam band live. I saw an jam act Saturday night and they were spectacular. And I was SOBER at the time.
 
The John Butler Trio is often thought of as a jam band, but their albums don't really reflect this. The production is quite polished and prominent. Great band though, one of my favourite artists.
 
They're too eclectic to simply dismiss as 'roots rock'. Or at least their newest album is - I can see how you get that from their earlier stuff.
What's your problem more specifically, moving past the genre...
 
Hmmm....
i find it hard to pin point
i agreee with you to an extent with regarRAB to genre
but genre is stupid anyway
if i was going to put him in a nice little box it would be roots rock
i suppose i just find his music dull
and he conjures up all these awful images of hippies and white people with dreadlocks
and the amount of hype he gets in aus is ridiculous

im an indie kid whose into post-punk
its probably genetic
 
There's a lot of good live jam banRAB where I am now in the mountains of North Carolina. The downtown street music scene and drum circles are cool. Pretty much anyone can be a part of a jam band if they want to. I usually don't go see any at the venues because its too expensive, better to get the same experience downtown for free.
 
Yeah, me and my frienRAB have a "jam band" of sorts. Its nice because the genre is so open ended that anyone can really play and its more of the connection with the music than playing an organized, set, piece of music.
