"Jam Bands"

allornone

Ever since I have gotten Sirrius satellite radio, one of my favorite stations has become Jam_On, where they play nothing but Jam Bands. It's great to hear some of the stuff they play, and it's introduced me to bands I either didn't know much about or never thought I'd like. Here's a few that I've been listening to a lot latetly:

Gov't Mule
Widespread Panic
Umphree's McGee
Black Crowes
Blues Travelers
And yes, even Dave Matthews

Anyone else listen to this station, or have a Jam Band that you are really into? Do you consider Pearl Jam an actual Jam Band?

I really like moe. A LOT more rock than "dreamy" jams, although they can do that too. I do consider Pearl Jam a "jam band", of course not in the typical terms of the phrase "jam band", but any band that plays one song:

a) over 8 minutes long, unless the song is orignally written to be that long
b) has a "cult" following
c) can still sell out all around the world, and everyone either thought they broke up or has never heard of them
d) play songs that go into other songs
e) are students of music history
