Jefferson Airplane hasn't stopped sucking since Jorma Kaukonen and that other guy left to form Hot Tuna

David Freiberg came late to Jefferson Airplane just before they split up and did vocals of Dragonfly probably the most interesting Jefferson Starship album. The best song on that album is "Caroline" which was sung by Marty Balin (the only vocals he did on that album)

I disagree with you about Grace Slick though and she was one of the outstanding female vocalists of the 1960s, admittedly the material that she sung with Jefferson Starship wasn`t up to much but she had her moments.

That would be with Jack Casady and both left after the Volunteers album and the group were never the same again. As for Jorma Kaukonen we`re talking about one of the best guitarists in the history of rock.

Bob Dylan isn't impressive in any way, shape, or form.

Just saying. All he seemed to do is mumble palindromes like a weasel over very VERY generic folk riffs. I honestly think it'd take even a mid level competent guitarist to improvise a Dylan song on the spot.

99% sure that he sold mostly on personality, and having a natural knack to fitting in with the - honestly fairly gullible - 60s vibe.

Not even his most well-known songs? The Times? Rolling Stone?

This is the best song Bob Dylan recorded.
He was never again this great.

I'd have agreed Dylan was, by and large, very overrated 2 or 3 years ago.

That was before I heard Time Out Of Mind though.
