... 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.

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!!!

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

This Airplane album is a collection of the influential bands greatest hits, and is pretty great. From Acid Rock classic anthems like "White Rabbit," to the ever popular "Somebody to Love," Jefferson Airplane truly shines. Songs from this album have also made it to major soundtracks, including the Cable Guy, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Recommended? Yes.

I happened on this item, recently wanting to buy a "classic" Jefferson Airplane album, and was happy that most of the songs I was looking for were on this CD. The third-party vendor I purchased this item from was very prompt in shipping, and it was a great price and in perfect condition.

I'm going to keep it short, sweet & simple. Avoid this compilation there is another Best Of which is better.

Powerfull great stories All the band is up to makes one big emotional soundwave.

While this "best of" is very short, it is still a nice overview of their music. Jefferson Airplane rocks!
