Sunday Music: The Best of Jefferson Airplane
Album Title: The Best of Jefferson Airplane
Why I Bought It: For "White Rabbit", of course.
What I Like (Weird): "White Rabbit". The group did a number of drug-related songs; this is the only one that uses imagery that appeals to me. (It disturbs me slightly that I know the last verse pretty much by heart.)
What I Like (Driving): "Somebody to Love". The sheer energy of the song is its selling point, for me.
What I Don't Like: The rest of the album, for the most part. "Wooden Ships" isn't too bad, but Crosby, Stills, & Nash did a better version. For most of the songs, I don't get the message and don't like the arrangement.
Overall: This is one of the arguments for buying individual songs rather than albums. The counter-argument is that an album may contain unexpected treasures - which is wonderful when it happens, but didn't in this case.
