Biography

Jefferson Airplane are inextricably linked to the late-60s psychedelic movement and the Summer of Love, which they helped to soundtrack with Surrealistic Pillow (1967).

The success of psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane brought mainstream attention towards the bohemian youth scene forming around the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco, where they lived. That area became a focal point for… Read more in Amazon's Jefferson Airplane Store

3.0 out of 5 stars some interesting selections but...., June 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
... all in all the album lacks continuity, and the last two tracks shouldn't be on the album at all. During the years of the classic lineup of Jefferson Airplane (Surrealistic Pillow-Volunteers) they really didn't do any songs that I would call bad, and if you want to get into the group I highly recommend you buy the actual albums. However, if you must have a collection or you just don't know what to buy, "The Worst of Jefferson Airplane" is a better place to start.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a bad set from JA, March 8, 2008
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
Jefferson Airplane were a huge part of the Summer of Love in 1967. 41 years later, they sound just as good today as they did that long ago.

This set, 'The Best of Jefferson Airplane' features 10 shining moments from the legendary San Francisco band.

How does this collection measure up?

Positives
-Their two radio hits, 'Somebody To Love' and 'White Rabbit,' both appear here.
-Underrated gems are here! How often do you see 'Wild Tyme' and 'Share A Little Joke' on a compilation?
-THE SOUND QUALITY IS GREAT

Negatives
-There is SO much missing. Where are 'Volunteers,' 'Crown Of Creation,' 'It's No Secret,' 'Watch Her Ride,' 'Plastic Fantastic Lover' and 'The Ballad Of You And Me And Pooneil'?
-Since this disc is so skimpy, most, if not all of those songs WOULD FIT HERE!!!

Overall, if you're a new fan of Jefferson Airplane and you find this in a bargain bin, go ahead and buy it. Otherwise, buy 'The Essential Jefferson Airplane' or 'Platinum & Gold Collection.' Those are much better compilations.

But this is still enjoyable, nonetheless.

Recommended for any Jefferson Airplane fan if you find it in a bargain bin. ENJOY!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Sometin' Kool review, January 23, 2000
This review is from: Best of (Audio CD)
Well, I love Jefferson Airplane, but I think they bunched up all the good songs (favorites) on the first side and the second side I hardly ever listen to. They should have mixed the songs up more thoroughly. My three favorite songs are on the first side back to back: 3/5 of a mile in 10 seconds, white rabbit, and don't you want somebody to love.-Sometin' Kool
