Grace was gorgeous - and so was Mariska Veres (Shocking Blue), who had a rivalling voice.

Jefferson Airplane is my top ten (maybe even top 5) most important rock group and formany things , they were even ahead of the Beatles. Certainly the most important US group in my mind But JEff Airplane 5* CASADY is the top in bass playing Superbly interesting book about them called Got A Revolution? written by jeff Tamarkin Yes Slick was a fairly easy lay. She was very promiscuous: she slept with Casady to thank him for the JA singer job, then she was in a liaison with Spencer Dryden for three yearts, she had bouts of sleepîng with Kaukkonen and then had a kid with Kantner. Only Balin never shagged her!
Her real maiden name is Grace Wing , and thanks to that she got invited to the White house for a bithrday reception of Nixon's daughter who had been to classmates in high school. She went dressed very RNR to that reception but got ejected very quick!!! Wonder why???? ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

JEFFERSON AIRPLANE is my all-time favourite band. What a shame they had to go on to become JEFFERSON STARSHIP and then STARSHIP. |

But then, "Jane" and "Girl With The Hungry Eyes" on "Freedom at Point Zero" were damned good songs!
Is anyone else familiar with Grace's amazing songwriting (and singing, of course) with "The Great Society" (pre Jefferson Airplane)? |

I prefer the Jefferson Starship abums. I have these: The first REAL JEFFERSON STARSHIP album, very very good (biggest JS hit here, "Miracles," wonderful song)  My first JS album, very underrated  A compilation of their greatest hits with a new track. Shortens "Miracles"   .....kicked Grace outta the band for this one, enter Aynsley Dunbar, hugely underrated drummer!!! By the way, is it just me, or does Mickey Thomas sound very similar to Grace???? Also, this albums a little proggy if you ask me  Grace returned on Modern Times, which I've yet to hear. I just got this album, great stuff, but not as great as previous releases.  I like this one better than Winds of Change, but again, it doesn't stand up. Note the Peter Gabriel reference!!! Seems almost to be some sort of concept album..... By the way, has anyone heard this:  Really good, pre-JS stuff with an all-star lineup. JA and JS fans will probably both enjoy this  I love Grace, but kinda lost respect for her when I saw her in an interview on CNN where she claimed Eminem was one of her favorite arists of today  . Oh well, still gotta love the music. I hope to have a complete JS and maybe even JA collection eventually.But seriously, who wants this?  ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

I'm a pretty big fan of both JA and JS. I have almost all of the JA albums, minus their very first one. I also have all of the JS albums which had Marty Balin, but the only Mickey Thomas JS album I have is Modern Times. Fairly decent album. I also have all of Paul Kantner's "solo" albums and if you don't have Dragonfly, you are missing out on a great JS album, even if it wasn't an official JS release. The band was all there. Check out the song Hyperdrive for some great proggy stuff, I love the line "I never thought there were corners in time, till I was told to stand in one." ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Yeah, I really need to get Dragonfly, and I've heard "Hyperdrive," great song. "Awakening" is another great proggy track off of Freedom at Point Zero. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

I have Spitfire ... and it's got some decent stuff too ... I think the Kantner songs Dance With the Dragon and Song to the Sun: Ozymandias/Don't Let It Rain are best (I wouldn't really call them proggy, but they are interesting), the Slick tunes are very listenable ... Balin's tunes don't stand out though and the one sung by Barbata is awful ...

The best Jefferson Starship album is Blows Against The Empire although this is a Kantner?slick solo album. I would say that the Jeff Starship are still correct until 77 and Mitales track , but they were on a steady downward slide and it slid even faster down the drain after that. As for the Starship albums We Buit this City On RNR was roghtfully voted as the worst single track to have topped the charts. Really annoying tune that was force-fed and brainwashed to the masses. The 80's were really troubled times! at least the Jefferson part of the name had been forcefully taken away after a court case! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

I almost forgot. The JS reunion album Windows of Heaven was awesome. Of course the only two members who returned were Paul and Marty. But Jack Casady of JA was also involved. A very, very, very good cd. I highly recommend it to fans of the band. ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Has anyone heard Slick's solo material? I was wondering which was the best to get first... Manhole  Dreams  Welcome to the Wreckingball  Software (Is this like We Built this City???  )Any others????

The safest bet is to start chronologically! I never heard any of it (maybe a bit of Dreams when it came out), but I would suspect that the quality of her solo album took the same trend that JA and then JS did!! But this is an assumption and not certainty! ------------- let's just stay above the moral melee prefer the sink to the gutter keep our sand-castle virtues content to be a doer as well as a thinker, prefer lifting our pen rather than un-sheath our sword |

Great Society... sort of... "Conspicuous Only By It's Absence" is fantastic, and fascinating if you like the 1960s Jefferson Airplane material.

Yes, that's what I figured, but wasn't entirely sure. I enjoy Nuclear Furniture, but still...by looking at the album covers chronologically, it seems her careerwent to the pits when JS changed to just Starship. ------------- "Art is not imitation, nor is it something manufactured according to the wishes of instinct or good taste.

Man, I feel the exact same way! Traveling back to the 1960's would be great; I would see all my favorate psychedelic bands when they were in their prime, I'd buy sh*tload of underground comix(and possibly meat the ZAP comix team), and not only that, but LSD was legal for a while back then( so of course, I'd have to try that). ------------- all toasters toast toast |

"Manhole" is a patchy album, but it contains two excellent orchestrated progressive tracks - "Theme From The Movie 'Manhole'" (15 minutes) and "Epic (#38)" (7 minutes). "Dreams" is her best solo album, with some excellent symphonic rock tracks (especially on the first side). "Welcome To The Wrecking Ball" is a dumb heavy rock album, but fun in parts. "Software" is awful eighties electro-pop, although the closing track "Bikini Atoll" is really beautiful. |

Great Society (lead by brother-in-law Darby Slick surely) predates Jefferson Airplane, and their live album is strongly recommended for some real proto-pro - (recorded 1965?) - the version of White Rabbit (especially with it psychedelic arabo-jazz rock opening) is so much better than the increasingly tired versions heard on JA live recordings.

^hahaha... that's good to know! Now to keep the Gracie fest going... Which is your favorite Jefferson Airplane song?!?!?! (with her singing)... I like WOODEN SHIPS, but a song in which only SHE sings, I'd say WHITE RABBIT! |

Like I said, I prefer JS, Miracles is one of my favorite songs ever. "White Rabbit" is indeed an incredible song though. What about "We Built This City?"

Yes, After Bathing is probably my favourite album ... but the ultimate Grace Slick tune for me has to be Lather off Crown Of Creation. ------------- "Death to Utopia! Death to faith! Death to love!

The best of the solo work is the album with Kantner, "Blows Against the Empire", very poetic, and about as progressive as they ever got (though "After Bathing at Baxter's" was a really great album, Zappa was supposed to produce it, but it didn't work out) a psychedelic masterpiece. Also highly recommended is the DVD history of JA, "Fly Jefferson Airplane", for actual films and TV appearances of the acid goddess. |
