GarageBand has Flex Time (to stretch or shorten individual notes) and Groove Tracking (to automatically pump some rhythm into your band).

iLife 2011 needs OS X 10.6.3 or better and comes at $79 for a family pack with 5 licenses, or you can buy the Mac Box Set with iLife, iWork and OS X 10.6 for $129.
