Some of you missed the "rock" criterion in the description. I know jazz and experimental bands jam. That's practically their raison d'etre. I'm interested in rock bands, ostensibly confined by the relatively narrow strictures and demands of the genre, succeeding in playing long songs without losing your attention or their momentum.

the roots (the dropped-on-a-dime "Appache" segways kill me)
Jurassic 5, Gift to Gab (i'm going to count good freestyling as the hip hop equivalent to "jamming without wanking")
wilco
animal collective
radiohead
deerhoof
that lady from magik markers who punches people in the face for no reason (i remember reading how her whole guitar style is based on the opposite of a guy jerking off [implication being that's how all the rock guys play])

Oh HELL YEAH!
I love this band. Caught them in Brooklyn last year and they were damn good. Really wish they'd come back.
