RE: The Greatest American Band In History? nsc

I had to think about this for a while. It would have to be a band with a strong socio-political agenda, one that could see through all the bullshit surrounding them and not get caught up in the corporate hype of being stars. That cuts out anyone from L.A. and New York simply because of the society in which they were raised. Actually it cuts out most of the USA. Geographically it leaves just a couple of places even now in the 21st century. So, I'm going for a band who come from one of the most progressive parts of the USA - N.California - and to be more precise the Bay Area in the 1960s, because it was and still is the leading edge for consciousness. Not quite the Haight tie dye Grateful Dead crowd - my vote is for the band founded by Marty Balin and Paul Kantner (who I hope is recovering from his alleged recent heart attack) - Jefferson Airplane. They were part of the counterculture - Paul Kantner has maintained that spirit in Jefferson Starship. Back to Jefferson Airplane - they truly captured the essence of counterculture because they walked their talk (and still do). They weren't just talking sex, drugs and rock & roll - THIS GENERATION GOT NO DESTINATION TO HOLD - they were very critical of the corruption within the counter culture too - they kept it real - Paul Kantner's a wonderful songwriter.
