as much as I prefer the Ex-Yarddbirds Renaissance to the Haslam one, the Airplane's Crown Of Creation is much more important to my ears and eyes.

The Renaissance debut is one of my all-time favorite albums

The Renaissance album is fantastic. Jefferson Airplane were never to my taste at all.

Renaissance - had it been Surrealistic Pillow vs s/t, probably would have went for the former. Granted, I haven't really warmed to COC though it's getting there.

Not exactly a fan, but Jefferson Airplane it is.

Crown of Creation is a 5-star masterpiece as far as I'm concerned, and obviously gets my vote.

Apart from digging the punchy, acid-fuelled songs on CoC, as opposed to the classically flavoured epics making up this Ren debut, my analysis goes like this :
Louis Cennamo could play well but had a dull-as-ditchwater sound.
Jack Casady on the other hand......fantastically unique.
Grace Slick has a stronger voice than Jane Relf.
Jim McCarty and Spencer Dryden are about on-par.
Keith Relf can't match Jorma Kaukonen.
O.K. So Renaissance had John Hawken on keys, Grace dabbled.......
I guess it's all about taste. Had it been a mk 2 album, that would be a curve ball.

yep..  he was the fuel that ran the Airplane. Next to Jamerson the greatest bass guitarist this country ever produced and stacks up against the English big heavies of Entwistle, Squire, McCartney, and Bruce.

amen brother... very unique he sounds like a gravel truck rolling down a hillside...

least favorite of their classic 5 but still better than most others albums.

Holy crap, Micky !! Yep, I idolise Jack - CoC was the first album of theirs I bought in 1987, and to this day, I look forward to spinning it. His sound, his skill, he IS the Airplane. Hot Tuna were pretty cool, too. Baxter's is one of the best albums created. And I adore Long John Silver, heck, all their albums move me in one way or another. Even the mixed-bag that is Bark. And Grace is still the hottest of the lot. If I got a chance to meet her these days, I'd probably pass out .........
You ought to check out on the tube, an all-girl band called The Ace Of Cups - they are the female version of Quicksilver Messenger Service. Do it now !!!

make it two idolizations..  perhaps even more than that.. I simply love the man LOL Love? Nah..perhaps more than that... make it pure lust for him..

good man. Baxters sits firmly and forever in my top 5 albums of all time.

I haven't heard Ace of Cups (great name! LOL) will youtube it.. hopefully they live up to the conjured mental images...

Grace Slick was hotter than Annie Haslam in 1969. As a side note, I prefer the Airplane album as well.
