A few that come to mind:
Nirvana
Collective Soul
Soundgarden
The Wallflowers
I would include Pearl Jam because I know they're worthy, but I just never much liked them. Same with Foo Fighters: great band but boring songs.

Phish are jam band for nerds. There are numerous jam bands I like far better (Widespread Panic anyone?). I've actually seen Phish and had a good time (there was a lot of weed involved), and, right, they can play. But it's just nerdy, and they even look like a bunch of nerds on stage, jumping up and down on trampolines and all that crap. The only real tune I liked at that show was Trey's cover of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" which was fantastic.I can't believe no one mentioned Phish. I like making fun of their lyrics, but the guys can play and are talented. The lyrics though.. I generally don't care that much about lyrics, rarely can they ruin a song but Phish manages it.
