Dave Matthews Band

The jam band that proved you didn't need guitar-on-guitar riffage—saxophone and violin could carry the whole load. College kids traded their live tapes like sacred relics, passing cassettes through dorm networks long before the internet caught up, and the band turned that devotion into an amphitheater-tour institution that defined summer for a generation.

O.A.R.

The jam band MTV never gave a platform but college kids couldn't live without. O.A.R. — "Of A Revolution" — spread dorm to dorm on burned CDs of live shows, a band you heard about from a friend long before you ever heard them on the radio. By the time they sold out Madison Square Garden in 2006, the underground had simply become too big to ignore.
