I doubt this would do very well in any of the mainstream rock genres or even folk.
Jam Band is an interesting choice and I hadn't thought about that for this song. While I was going down the list of genres, I was going No, No, No, ... to most of them also. Even if it is my "best" song, I can't see it doing well in the mainstream genres -- it just doesn't pass the 15-30 second test, in my opinion.
Thanks for the idea -- at the moment I don't think it is "jammy" enough for Jam Band, but I have a few days to decide. I went and listened to the current top 10 in Jam Band and some pretty good stuff there, too!
