saying you listen to "jam bands" to me is like saying you listen to "classic rock" that can mean you listen to anything from CSNY to Floyd to The Beatles and its still considered classic rock, but not at all the same genre or style of music.

this thread is ridiculous and awesome, , i thing the best jam band of all time was anyone that jimi hendrix was playing with and i think that everyone on this list would agree with that. we have no idea how great this guy was. jerry would agree, gd #2.
"Love need not be a command nor faith a dictum. I am my own god. We are here to unlearn the teachings of the church, state, and our educational system. We are here to drink beer. We are here to kill war. We are here to laugh at the odds and live our lives so well that Death will tremble to take us." — Charles Bukowski
pink floyd did somewehre in the area of zero jamming during their live shows.
Later true, but early on they jammed quite a bit.
Yeah, they jammed quite heavily in the Barret era... later, they adapted their live style to the studio, thus basically eliminating the need to jam, really.
i attempted to express my displeasure with this list in a constructive way. however, after several minutes of trying to think of a way to discredit Rolling Stone i could only think of this...
edit: no offense intended. i only know that the J-bros were on there cause i get the damn thing.

im going to be getting RS until 2054. no, really. so i read it all the time...
its the only music magazine (that ive seen), despite shit like the jonas brothers or britney articles, has a focus on bands that are less likely to be the latest fad/trendy band. also, they give spotlight to new music from older and more established acts.

It just makes me tear up everytime I get a new issue
I think many of the bands from the late 60's early 70's could be considered Jam Bands. One not mentioned so far is Cream.
I also suspect Hendryx was the first to use the term "jam". I remember one of his life albums he said something like "we're just gonna jam". It's the earliest referance to that term that I have found.
I've been thinking about Cream since I saw the original article. I would probably have to rate them my favorite alltime jam band, especially after I saw the Farewell Cream DVD a few weeks ago.

Before we go bashing Rollingstone, you have to check out their 40th anniversary interbiews book: it contains the most open and revealing interviews ever given by : John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Clapton, Springsteen, Bono, Eminem, Eastwood, Nicholson, Kurt Cobain, Axl Rose, Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards....
These interviews contain many of the most common quotes attributed to these artists (John Lennon's tuba quote comes to mind. ) Lennnon talks openly about the break up of the beatles, Clapton openly about his alcoholism and drug use (for the first time), Garcia about the death of Bret Mydland, Brian Wilson (4 months sober at that points) tries to score blow from the guy giving the interview, Kurt Cobain talks about suicide 9 months before his death. It is riveting stuff, and probably the most important important book having to do with 20th century pop culture ever. Highly recommended.
Yeah, I'm not sure bashing Rolling Stone is the best response. It looks like this is just a poll result, so it's the fault of the readers/responders more than anything. It would be interesting to put a similar poll up on inforoo and see how we do. Also, lists of any kind, like the 100 best singers and 100 best vocalists that RS put out, are easy to find fault with, but it's always hard to construct a better one.
Led Zep is a Jam Band, its all about live shows. Match a zeppelin bootleg 70's concert next to a jam band. Each play 3 hour shows. Play multiple songs over fifteen minutes (dazed, communication, H.M,M.T. , Stairway, No Quarter, since I've been loving u, Kashmir, Achilles, whole lotta love). They play a 12-20 min drum solo/band break (moby dick, montreux). They have at least one cover song a night, and you will get 2 or 3 solo's a night that will never be duplicated again.

I have a big problem with Grateful Dead not being number one also , and I say this as a Dave Matthews band fanatic, I have no problem with them on the list but not above Gov't Mule.

It just makes me tear up everytime I get a new issue
a few years ago, they had a subscription offer. $50 for a "lifetime" subscription - really, 50 years. So I figured even if in 5 years, I use it as toilet paper, it was too hard of a deal to pass up.
I also get Spin... for a few years that was from buying tickets - but I actually just resubscriped for 2 more years.
i dont think i can handle another music magazine coming to the house!
^^damn, I wish I had known about that offer at the time. Personally, I think most of the music articles in Rolling Stone are decent, even if they're often about bands I don't care about, like Hannah Montana or The Jonas Brothers (excuse me while I throw up in my mouth a little bit). However, the political op-eds and movie reviews are always top notch.
I used to subscribe to Spin for several years, back when it was actually good. Then a while back, around the time they got rid of those cartoon stories about rockstars on the back page, everything started going downhill. I remember when acts like The White Stripes, The Strokes, Trent Reznor and other awesome musicians were on the cover. Now it seems to be more about Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance type of stuff.
its almost completely different than RS, so i like the other viewpoint. otherwise, i wouldnt know the names of those electro bands in all the cool commercials
