That list is f*cking retarded. My Morning Jacket is not a jamband. Medeski, Martin & Wood is not a jamband. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band is not a jamband. Old Crow Medicine Show is not a jamband. Man Or Astroman? is not even close to a jamband. I could go on, but you get the point.
I love how something called "Wishbone Ash" is listed at 67. WTF is Wishbone Ash?

There is no text book definition of jam band. Jam band can mean anything from a band that jams, a band that plays multiple genres of music, or a band that adds improv to their performances. You have no idea what the authors of the list consider a jam band. So save me your reasons, cause i dont care.

I'm pretty sure that was the subject of Dr. Teeth's dissertation.

Are the groups of musicians you speak of called a band? Do they sometimes improvise on stage (otherwise known as jamming)? Then yes, they can be considered jam bands. Chill out, it's just a list, not the end of the world

You're right. Like I said, a jam band can just be a band that jams, or a band that plays multiple genres of music, or a band that adds improv to their live performances.

I'd be willing to bet every band in the history of live music has added some sort of "improv" to their liver performances.
Lets take a look at what this word "jam" means. It could mean 2 or more musicians making music together but not an official band. Or it can mean to get together with people to play music. Or a jam session can be a bunch musicians together improvising - not playing to any set score or written music.
To the multiple people that have claimed that mmj isnt a jam band: There are many videos on youtube that show my morning jacket doing some improv. And they have performed with pearl jam multiple times. That qualifies as musicians that arent an official band making music together. Kirk Hammet came out and played with mmj AT BONNAROO. So obviously, mmj is a jam band.
What kind of loser hates on a thread that is trying to give some more hype to bonnaroo? Were on inforoo! I clearly said this list isnt fact. Why are you so butt hurt about it? By the way you talk i would think that you dont even like bonnaroo.
People have a tough time distinguishing between the notion of a "jam" or someone "jamming" (i.e. the act of a musician playing something that's improv, or of musicians sitting in together for sometimes unrehearsed sessions) and a "jamband," which clearly refers to a specific subset of groups that make such improv and free-form exploration the focus of the music.
That's further complicated by the aforementioned faux-hippies, trustafarians, and wookies, who tend to adopt anything that they see as "crunchy" as part of the accepted "jamband" scene. 15 year ago Primus was clearly an alternative rock band, but as soon as Les Claypool struck up a friendship with Trey Anastasio they became a jamband. Bands like Yonder Mountain String Band, Old Crow Medicine Show, Leftover Salmon and the like are rooted in bluegrass, yet their appearance among traditional jambands like moe., Widespread, etc. at various festivals and tours has pushed them in that direction. Medeski Martin & Wood is a f*cking jazz fusion trio, but as soon as Trey showed up to jam with them in Austin in 1995, hairfarmers everywhere were soon invading MMW club shows, refusing to sit down and shouting out "WOOOO" at random times of the set, ruining it for everyone else. Bela Fleck & the Flecktones are also technically a jazz-fusion act, but again, idiots. Dave Matthews Band hasn't been a jamband since about 1993 when they were adding weird freeform jazz jams onto the end of "Jimi Thing" and playing small clubs. Hell, even bands like STS9, the New Deal, and Disco Biscuits are closer to electronica than rock/jam music (especially STS9 and the New Deal), but they get lumped in the same.
