Jefferson Airplane/Starship fans..........

[Mafesto]

What is you favorite incarnation of this band?


1 - Jefferson Airplane?


2 - Jefferson Starship?


3 - Starship?

Since I prefer Mickey Thomas to Marty Balin I'll say Starship, even though most of the J S hits came with Thomas. So it could be a toss up.




There is a very valid argument that the Starship era was more pop oriented, but I'd rather say the music received more airplay because it was simply better music.

Grace Slick taught Janis Joplin how to twang in San Francisco ... Paul Kanter was the true leader of that band.

Up until all of the followers had left.

I liked the feel of the Nuclear Furniture music.
No way out = Probably my favorite J S song.

They did not depart as friends that's for sure ..... My family had a huge SF music history and I grew up right I the hub of the 60's, 70's & 80's SF music scene .... I'm very thankful to the industry which has given me a great lifestyle.

Starship wrote a song "We Built This City On Rock & Roll"

"White Rabbit" is their best tune, followed by "Nothings gonna stop us now"

Ox, you gotta have 2 cents to pitch in on this one!

You know - LOL - I like them all - at least at this stage of my life...

I don't, and have never "psychodelic'ed", but I love the music it produced. "Volunteers", "Somebody to Love", "Lather", ... and that bunny song...

But I like "Miracles" too. Prolly a bit soft for me to have listened to at 18 yrs old, but 30 some yrs later - yeah - I like it! LOL!

The later stuff - what's that? "We Built this City"?
I don't cringe when it plays on the ray dee eye oh, but maybe too bee-boppie for me to "want" to listen to. I guess I don't know any more late stuff?
