My bad, my eyes skipped over the non jam band part. I was suprised no one was saying Phil and Friends, haha. Here's my new list

1. Taj Mahal
2. Red Hot Chilis
3. Ben Harper
4. Bobby McFerrin
5. Tenacious D

[Long Distance Runner]

a lot of these bands gettin posted are pretty damn jammy if not actually jam bands such as drive-by truckers ,my morning jacket, mars volta, ben harper, hot tuna, bela fleck and the flecktones, wilco, ocms, avett bros....

I am guessing by saying non-jam band, youre meaning no five minute guitar and key solos lol, but I could be wrong...
but my favorite would be Beck.
hopefully he fits the description?

I might classify Bela & the 'Tones as a jam band, eventhough their lineup is non-traditional. Here are MY faves (in no particular order):

1. Sonia Dada
2. John Mayer (I just got turned onto him within the past few months)
3. Eric Clapton (always)
4. Steely Dan
5. Norah Jones

My other faves that WOULD include JamBands are:

David Grisman Quintet
Bela Fleck & The Flecktones
Zappa Plays Zappa

Jackie Green
Prince
Billy Joel
The Rolling Stones
U2

Tigerstrat, Brad is an old friend of mine! Met him years back, Little Women days, and I used to hang with him and Steve James and Jerry Joseph. Those guys are always fun. Brad and I share the same birthday. Say hi to him for me next time you see him!

why does Steve James ring a bell?... I think I have a CD of his somewhere... and I wanna say Norton Buffalo plays on it?does that sound right? I'll tell Brad you said hi... he's actually the GBB's backup drummer (because of his main gig) but I see him once in awhile and sometimes comes to RR gigs.

The New Orleans Radiators
The Iguanas (also from New Orleans)
Elvis Costello
The Pogues
Townes Van Zandt

I forgot about clapton, I bet that would be a pretty good show, especially if Derek Trucks showed up.
David Grisman Quintet is coming to Atlanta in march, cant wait, will be my first time seeing them in concert.

should the rhcp be considered a jam band? I mean, they have jams in their songs, but not as extensive or involved as the "normal" jam bands...
