America's Best Rock Band

[inibo]

I will of course be dating myself, but of the music I grew up with the absolute best collection of American rock musicians to ever record an album was the original Paul Kantner and the Jefferson Starship. The album called Blows Against the Empire was astounding, at least to me. Most people have never heard it, but those of certain age will

I used to have that LP. I may still, I haven't looked through my albums in years. I had a lot of the efforts from the "San Francisco sound". Best overlooked albums: "Quah" by Jorma Kaukonen, "Black Kangaroo" by Peter Kaukonen, "Manholé" by Grace Slick et al., and "Joe E. Covington's Fat Fandango". Covington was the Airplane's drummer for a while, but never got much notice.

I had the LP with the spiffy booklet that came with it. I had it on cassette and I think I still have it on a CD in storage. It was in the first collection of mp3s that I accidentally repartitioned.
