The Jefferson Airplane was a great band. The Jefferson Starship was not. Grace Slick herself says such.

You were not born when this band was great.

I liked both bands songs.

My parents were children of the 60s. Thus, I was born and raised with 60's and 70's music. Our TV set was rarely on. The stereo was ALWAYS on.
I have probably listened to more music of that era than you have. At the least, more diverse music.

I venture I have children as old as your parents. Statements 1-4 by you are your comments. I have no opinion on those statements.

How you leaped from those statements to your final statement makes me think your reasoning is seriously flawed. How many times have you been in Berlin at a concert for Handel as I have?

You sure you don't mean just "Starship"? Remember it went like this:
Jefferson Airplane -> Jefferson Starship - > Starship

Starship was an absolute abomination.

You have as of now, not provided proof she believed that.

Actually, per Wikipedia, both bands were considered great.

I offer this as part proof.

Jefferson AirplaneThat autumn Jefferson Airplane's singer Signe Toly Anderson (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Signe_Toly_Anderson) left the band to start a family, and the Airplane asked Slick to join them. Slick stated that she joined the Airplane because it was run in a professional manner, unlike The Great Society. She took two compositions from The Great Society with her: "White Rabbit (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/White_Rabbit_(song))", which she is purported to have written in an hour,[3] (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#cite_note-3) and "Somebody to Love (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Somebody_to_Love_(Jefferson_Airplane))", both of which went on to become hits and to appear on Rolling Stone's top 500 greatest songs of all time. Though both songs were first performed by The Great Society, their versions of the songs were much different: the Great Society's rendering of "White Rabbit" featured an oboe (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Oboe) solo by Slick.
With Slick on board the Airplane began recording new music, and they took on a psychedelic direction from their former folk-rock. By 1967, Surrealistic Pillow (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Surrealistic_Pillow) and the singles taken from it were great successes, and Jefferson Airplane became one of the most popular bands in the country. Slick rose to fame, earning her position as one of the most prominent female rock musicians of her time. Other notable songs that she recorded with Jefferson Airplane include "Two Heads", "Lather (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Lather_(song))" and "Greasy Heart". In 1968, Slick performed "Crown of Creation" on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/The_Smothers_Brothers_Comedy_Hour) in blackface (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Blackface) and ended the performance with a Black Panther (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Black_Panther_Party) fist.[4] (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#cite_note-4) In an appearance on a 1969 episode of the Dick Cavett Show (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Dick_Cavett_Show), she became the first person to say "motherfucker" on live television during a performance of "We Can Be Together" by Jefferson Airplane.[5] (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#cite_note-5)

After Jefferson Airplane terminated, Slick – along with other bandmates – formed the even more popular Jefferson Starship (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Jefferson_Starship) and began a string of solo albums with Manhole (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Manhole_(album)), followed by Dreams (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Dreams_(Grace_Slick_album)), Software (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Software_(Grace_Slick_album)) and Welcome to the Wrecking Ball (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Welcome_to_the_Wrecking_Ball). Manhole also featured keyboardist, bassist Pete Sears (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Pete_Sears) who later joined the original Jefferson Starship (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Jefferson_Starship) in 1974. Sears and Grace penned several early Jefferson Starship songs together, including "Hyperdrive" and "Play On Love". Dreams, which was produced by Ron Frangipane and incorporated many of the ideas she encountered attending 12-step meetings, is the most personal of her solo albums and was nominated for a Grammy Award. The song "Do It the Hard Way" from Dreams is one example of Grace's music at the time.[6] (http://www.debatepolicy.com/#cite_note-6)
Slick was nicknamed "The Chrome Nun" by David Crosby (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/David_Crosby), who also referred to Paul Kantner (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Paul_Kantner) as "Baron von Tollbooth". Their nicknames were used as the title of an album she made with bandmates Paul Kantner and David Freiberg entitled Baron Von Tollbooth and the Chrome Nun (http://www.debatepolicy.com/wiki/Baron_Von_Tollbooth_and_the_Chrome_Nun).

gabby. Wanna bet? If you were born in the 60's, you were too small, and unable to attend WOODSTOCK, as I, and my wife did in 1969. So, you can stick your claims about listening to more music of that era...IN YOUR EAR.

We lived it in the 60's. So, when you make such claims. Be prepared to prove it.
