Just because Phish and the Dead are both technically (generically) referred to as 'jam bands' doesn't necessarily mean there is a lot of crossover between fans. I mean, 'technically' (generically) Dave Matthews Band is also a 'jam band' but... yeah, you know?
I'll tell you this: when we saw Phish at the Gorge last summer, the Deadheads were relegated to their own particularly stinky corner of the campground. It's NOT six of one and half a dozen of the other.
Personally, I don't have much use for the Dead. I love American Beauty -- very, very much -- but nothing else they ever put out does much for me.

However, not having listened to Radiohead in 2012 qualifies as willful ignorance.

And, for me, Animal Collective is a band I haven't given the time of day to.
Aside from that, I'm not sure if I'm missing out on "seminal" bands. Probably a number of newer ones yes, but I've got the 70s, 80s and 90s well-covered.
A question, because I'm curious: how many of you have listened to older Jazz albums with music written / performed by folks like John Coltrane, Billie Holiday, Etta Jones, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Shirley Horn, Nina Simone, Etta Jones, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan, Sonny Rollins... ?
I would consider a lot of that music to be seminal in its own way, but this is possibly the wrong crowd.

Yeah, but when I started really listening to Phish, I could definitely hear the Grateful Dead influence.

Husker Du are amazing. You should definitely check them out. Bob Mould has one of the greatest voices in modern music.

Who said that? I've heard them plenty. I've just never felt compelled to dive into their catalog based on the songs I've heard throughout my life.

I will definitely go through that list today. I thought I had my basis covered for this thread, but after some thought, I found there are still many I have overlooked. J-Dawg mentioned some names above I should probably look into. You can keep going back in history, and find many musicians that you have overlooked.

Both of these bands would make my top 20 list.

I grew up listening to jazz and played trumpet in school from grade 7-12 thanks to one of the best teachers a kid could ask for. I even got to play with Arturo Sandoval once.

I went through a huge jazz period a couple years back. I think it's something that everyone must do at the right point in your life. Troubled romance is a really perfect point for that.

I'm still catching up and am bored on the train. I like all of those bands. Lots. Picking between the smiths and the cure is really hard. I could take the beatles over elvis but elvis is fantastic. Sonic youth vs ween is tough, but I'd take sonic youth reluctantly.
Edit: I now see others already made that point after reading further. Ignore that bit I guess.
I would say for me:
Talking heads Tears for fears
I know songs by them both, but can't say I've really listened to any albums more than once.

Tears for Fears would surprise you, I bet.
