I'm sure this has been answered and asked before, but I am new here so my curiosity overwhelms me haha.
Are any of you here people that listen to just Phish and no other jam bands? I listen to the dead and the Allman brothers so i guest i dont count, but im much more fanatical in my phish jammage then those others.
But i mean i started out on punk and metal before prog jam and jazz so i guess im an oddball in some forms.
Plus I hear some people only listen to Phish, and nothing else! Phish is my favorite band BUT HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!!!!

I listen to Phish probably 90% of the time. There will be maybe one day out of the week where I get in the mood to hear something else but this only lasts for a couple hours till I'm ready to get my phix again.

I get my jamband fix from Phish and the Dead. There's enough great music between the two of them for a lifetime of listening. Plus I've never heard any other "jambands" who could come close to touching them.

I'll go for months straight listening only to Phish. I'm in one of those stretches right now. I saw moe. at the beginning of December, and in the weeks coming up on the show, I listened to maybe half moe., half Phish, but other than a little radio and a little Pandora in the car, I'm currently listening to several hours of Phish per day in my office at work.

I don't listen to "no" other jambands, but I figured out a long time ago - I really like phish. But I don't necessarily really like jambands. I mean, I have gone to many other "jamband" shows and festivals since the mid-90s. But phish is in its own category for me. And these days, it would kinda take a lot to get me to a different jamband show or fest. Esp. since phish got back together. Save my time off and long weekends for that.I've seen moe., bisco, strangefolk, lotus, sts9, wsp, blues traveler, rusted root (going way backwards) and then innumerable 3rd tier jambands lots of times between say 1995 and 2009. Of all those shows I've only rarely caught faint glimpses of what is the standard "IT" at even the worst phish show.
In terms of home and car and office listening (as opposed to live), Phish will trend anywhere between 10% and say 60% of my listening. Call it an average of a quarter, with a bell curve moving out.

I am a huge Turbine fan. I'm one of the only ones, haha. They write amazing somgs and can jam my god damn face off. I am a huge Deadhead as well. I also dig the Allman Bros but don't listen to them too much. I don't really like Umphreys/Moe/WSP. The Biscuits are fun every now and again, but only at a show, I don't listen to them if I'm not at the show. I listen to a ton of other stuff too. I have been on a huge Wilco kick recently. I dig a lot of indie rock and jazz and funk and bluegrass and classical and rock and roll and blues and things. There's waaaaay too much good music out there to limit myself to only a few bands.

I jerk off on the bidet to phish every day. I never jerk off on the bidet to any other band.

I love listening to Phish, and I listen to plenty of other Jam bands and non-jammy bands. But phish satisfies all of my musical needs.Check out my most recent blog post OP, it touches upon "The Importance Of Upcoming Bands" Maybe you'll like it!

I listen to a lot of Kimock, and dabble in Dead spinoffs, Mule, and earlier SCI. Also occasionally revisit the old Dead shows that I listened to obsessively for 15+ years. (If a Dark Star, The Eleven, Scarlet > Fire, or Help > Slip > Franx circulates, then I have heard it at least once.)
Dug into some Allmans, Zeppelin, and old-school Floyd in the past. Tried most of the other popular jambands and didn't like what I heard. Generally dislike Dead cover bands, as well as jammers who rely too much on Dead covers and/or obtuse drug references. Was into Grace Potter & the Nocturnals when they were a loosely jam-oriented rock outfit, i.e. before they got misdirected and commoditized in '09. (They peaked from late summer '07 to spring '08, IMHO.)

I listen to mostly phish but other jam bands I'm into are....
... widespread
gov't mule
sts9
lotus
bisco (starting to get it)
Umphreys
Moe.
the dead of course...garcia band more than the dead lately
dopapod
papadosio
allmans
I find Umphreys hard to dance to, moe. just doesn't do it for me somehow, and bisco is straight mediocrity but still a good time. phish, wsp and the dead are my main shits

I'm about 75% Phish, 5% Dead, 10% Prog, 5% other jam band music, and another 5% of whatever I'm in the mood for (usually Steely Dan).
