Jefferson Airplane

Jefferson Airplane was one of the most important members of the San Francisco sound of the sixties along with Santana, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. They performed at the legendary Woodstock Music and Art Fair of 1969 and the Monterey International Pop Festival of 1967. They helped to develop the new psychedelic sound, especially with their hit White Rabbit. They provided the counterculture staples Volunteers and Wooden Ships, the latter of which was also performed by Crosby, Stills, and Nash. Despite lasting less than a decade before updating themselves into the hard rock band Jefferson Starship, their success was immense due to their sheer innovation. It is a shame they were not inducted their first year of eligibility.
