Not sure what the criteria is these days, but I had this conversation other day

MMJ: festival circuit staple, 15 min songs, drug loving fans, in the Jam_On rotation..

Whattya got.

Last time the "jam band" topic came up the thread turned into a name calling pissing match. This should be fun.

Jam_on has been letting almost anything on recently, so take from that what you will, but it seems like any group of slapdicks that play over 7 minutes get played.

Now, MMJ is good, but they just don't have that jammy feel that bands like Moe, Umphrey's, Widespread, Phish, etc. have

But the definition of jam can be dissected over 10,000x.

Well since according to this board any group that improvises at some point in time in a live set is considered a jam band, yea, I guess they are.

my vote is no. they are not a jamband.

However, they made their name as being the home band at the first few Bonnaroos. Back then that festie was very jamband oriented. I know their late night set at Bonnaroo #2 is considered the show that pretty much put them on the map.

I think they are in the jam band scene, but not a jam band. Not like Mogwai, who is 100 percent a jam band,
