    The Allman Brothers and it's not close.

    I don't like jam bands as a rule. The dead trigger my narcolepsy. The Allmans were tight and talented as fuck though and never bore me.

    Predictably, Yellow Snow is trying to sideswipe an otherwise lukewarm thread. It's unfortunate, but expected.

    At least Race had a solid take. Plus Swaye came with a positive contribution, even with his limited capacity. God bless him for that.

    I don't follow.
    That's obvious.

    Grading a jam band by its number of chart-toppers is like judging an AH-64 by its air-to-air ability. Sure, some have sidewinders, and that's great, but the main purpose is to destroy the enemy on the ground.

    Christ Gallipoli, you're dense on this topic. I never said chart toppers. You think the Grateful Dead, the greatest of all jam bands, had a bunch of chart toppers? They had one top 20 single in the 80s and that was it. But they were great songwriters none the less, something a band like Phish is not.

    I'll tell you what - if you play your cards right I'll let you come over and flip over Mountain Jam on the turntable halfway through 32 mins. And you can get me a beer out of the fridge well you're at it.

    I guess it depends on what your tastes are ... I’m personally a big fan of good musicianship

    I’m a big fan of a band that can play for 10+ minutes and you aren’t waiting to go to the next song and wanting to cue up Dave Chapelle’s Wrap It Up skit

    I definitely enjoy listening to DMB and The Central Park Album has some pretty good longer takes that I enjoy listening to and is a good proxy to seeing them in concert.

    I haven’t seen them in concert but I can definitely see myself enjoying a strong 10-15 jam from Chicago with the different instrumentals being focused.

    For anybody that hasn’t seen them live Id put the Zac Brown Band in that category. Their last tour had a version of the Allman Bros Whipping Post that was strong. They also were doing a regular dueling guitars last year that was strong. Overall, they are strong players that you can jam out to.

    Who knew that a forum for music would create a new bored feud?

    Yellowsnow vs. Dardanus

    FWIW, I have the attack helicopter in this one. I am also known for limited capacity.

    Well, I gotta give a chin for the effort and for being a fellow vinyl guy. Looks like you just might be qualified to be my apprentice record flipper, but please no 3M products on the grooves.

    I'll tell you what @Dardanus - I'm always open to have my mind be changed and like any of us, my musical palate has evolved over time. Give me your top pick for a live album by any jam band in the Top 30 years and I will have a detailed listen.
