He said nothing about Wham or Nickelback or Backstreet Boys.I really like your music taste,
These useless bands on your hiking play list?
No, but I know you have those CD's in your truck. WE ALL KNOW IT!
What's a CD. I have a 8track player,No, but I know you have those CD's in your truck. WE ALL KNOW IT!
I can believe that, too. I'll bet that he also introduced almost every song by mentioning that he was either high or recovering while writing and/or recording it.
This is probably the key. This would also explain why performers like Garth Brooks are eternally popular.

Garth Brooks is an entertainer. He puts on a show and it is fun to go see. That's why it is more fun to see than James Taylor. Just like going to see Kiss, Alice Cooper, and Motley Crue is fun. Its also a visual experience. Saw John Mellencamp outdoors about 3 years ago. It was a fairly bad show. You could tell he just didn't want to be there.
The Greatful Dead in their heyday was a visual experience unique to to themselves. It was a hippy traveling medicine show crossed with circus.
I am just not a James Taylor fan. So I would probably find his show boring.
One of my cousins went to a country group concert (I think it was the Statler Brothers, but could have been The Oak Ridge Boys). I wasn't much into country music at that time, so I questioned his attending the concert. He replied that their music wasn't his favorite, but they always put on a great show.
Some people are musicians. Some are entertainers. I have been told that some of the musicians I enjoy can play and sing some great music. Get them in the studio, and they are masters in that element. And on stage, they just seem lost, out of their element.
Though I have never been to a concert of his, I would have thought Mellencamp would have been terrific. I always get a new surprise everyday.

Best Jam band? Easy...Ram Jam. 
I'm having a hard time not putting the Allman's at #1 here.
Granted, musically there were far beyond a 'Jam' band, but that was the feel.

”Best” jamband leaves a lot to interpretation In the phrasing and becomes really subjective really quickly, particularly when genre preference determines a lot. I’ve got a lot of thoughts on this subject.
Thelonious Monk … Big influence on Garcia
Music is perfect in that there is something for us all.
Tell us your thoughts.
