I'll say it. I've become a filthy, hippie Deadhead. I find my self only listening to the Dead some days. I gotta break this cycle.
I've been listening to some Phish a bit too. They're very funky but nothing compares to the Dead.
What other jam bands can I ruin my taste with?
Ween
Widespread Panic
My father raised me on them so I'm biased, but tbqh they're pretty good.
Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (probably my favorite, they're a really great bluegrass/jazz jam band):

Allman Brothers are good too:

ween became a part of the "jam ban scene" if you will when phish started covering their song roses are free.
Here is a good ween performance

I'd suggest really being patient with Ween, I really didn't understand the hype at first but they've grown to become one of my favorite bands, definitely unique.
Phish is great, I'd check out Hoist and Junta if you haven't, but Phish is at their best live. It's pretty easy to find high fidelity recordings of Phish shows on the internet.
There are a ton of jam bands, my favorites other than Phish and the dead are Umphrey's Mcgee and Dopapod. Umphrey's has some really talented musicians.

allman bros are kind of proto-jam. mountain jam is more of a blues rock odyssey, despite the word jam in the song
