For the record, I think that the "Surrealistic Pillow" "Crown of Creation" and "After Bathing at Baxters" essential 60's albums and "Volunteers" to be one of the best albums of the late 60`s and early 70`s era. The group had a number of very talented individuals, but the stand out for me has to be Jorma Kaukonen.

My favourite JA albums are Volunteers (Eskimo Blue Day is just awesome, Wooden Ships and Good Shepard are great too), After Bathing at Baxter's (Me, you & Pooneil (long version) is the standout) and Surrealistic Pillow in that order. Oh, and the standout for me is Grace Slick, what a magnificient voice.
On a different note, I think their albums are very poorly recorded. There is a constant hiss in the background which isn't usually there with other bands.
