#3 \| 107 days ago bigslacker (+)	+2 Tough choice..so many good ones. There are about 5 or 6 on this list that you can't go wrong with...and about 5 or 6 you could. The Allman Brothers Band

#5 \| 107 days ago Buttons (+)	+1 Garcia made the breast pocket black t-shirt a piece of iconic clothing, but more importantly invented almost everything you've heard on guitar since him. Don't know if anybody has ever heard of or seen these guys: RAQ---but they play some face peeling tunes... definitely worth a live listen if they are in your area The Grateful Dead

#7 \| 107 days ago Michael (+)	+2 I've seen or heard 14 of the bands listed. I've been to 12 Grateful Dead Concerts in my lifetime; 10 of them herbally and/or chemically prepared for a "Full Concert Experience." Of the 14 listed I still have to put the "Dead" at the head of the list because they are so egaging of their audience. Virtually no one sits at their concerts if that is feasible. They stand, sway and dance; they talk with one another about the music and experience; they go to the "support tables" and buy things; they dance around the venue to the songs with groups of people or by themselves and sometimes end up joining new groups of people who become lifelong friends. The Grateful Dead

I have four people that I still communicate with that I've met at "Dead Concerts" that live all over the Mid-West and I'd have NEVER met them except for the Experience of "The Dead." The music still stirs in me a sense of freedom, movement and joy! The Grateful Dead

#13 \| 107 days ago TVO (+)	I'd have to go with The Allman brothers...Duane Allman was a phenominal guitar player...John Mayer is a good guitar player (watch his Austin City Limits gig) as well although I don't like the bulk of his work.

#15 \| 107 days ago YankeeDudeL (+)	+1 Never really been into this kinda music. The only one I can say I really like is Primus, but I've never seen them live. I absolutely hate DMB. He'll say a bunch of crap that only makes sense when ur coming down off a 3 day high, reevaluting ur life over an ill-advised steak n eggs at ur local Waffle House. But I'll go to his concerts. Not for the music obviously, but for the thousands of college girls who r there for the same reason as u. Other - PLEASE NAME!

You have alot of chutzpah to admit to this, But I agree, when you find yourself at a place where not even the music is good, you must rely in your animal instincts and sniff out (what I like to call) BoDussy. The Allman Brothers Band

It's like going to Walmart. U know it's evil, u hate most of the people there, and it goes against everything u stand for as a decent human being. But damn if it doesn't have everything u need. I was originally gonna compare it to a bar u can't stand but has a free pour going on. LOL @ BoDussy... Other - PLEASE NAME!

Lynyrd Skynyrd= Good Southern Jam Rock Skynyrd is too heavy to consider them a "Jam Band" but they and the Marshall Tucker Band would def. be 1/2 if I made a Southern Rock poll. The Grateful Dead

#21 \| 106 days ago primo (+)	+3 I'm going to have to go with The Roots. They put on a show that has been unmatched by any others. Not only do they play some classics (they did Black Sabbath's Iron Man and Jimi's Purple Haze), they also play songs that were created by synthesizers and hip-hop samples. Not to mention, if they have Rahzel with them, you get the Human Beatbox as well. Other - PLEASE NAME!

Saw the Roots at Villanova with Rahzel and Scratch... a beat box battle ensued... and Questlove is no slouch on the drums The Grateful Dead

#23 \| 105 days ago TheChad81578 (+)	+1 I'm going with Oysterhead. Les Claypool, Trey Anastasio, and Stewart Copeland. Three masters of their craft. I'm not sure Primus should be on the list though. All Les' other projects definently should be, but I don't think Primus should. Just my opinion. Great poll too. Other - PLEASE NAME!

I do like Jack Johnson and some John Mayer and they are both good musicians also. The Black Crowes

#29 \| 49 days ago mooser58 (+)	(Edited by mooser58) +1 As a veteran of over 300 Dead shows this argument should start and end with them.......all others "jam" bands are inspired by the tracks the Dead laid for them. Blues, country, rock, bluegrass, you name it, The Dead played it...and played it well. I was at the last Dead show ever at Soldier Field in Chicago and the second set was one of the most amazing things I have ever heard. A free flow blues jam that had 70,000+ people on their feet. Rest in Peace Uncle Jerry....and Keep on Trucking Deadheads! The Grateful Dead
