I'm a big fan of the Airplane and other bands from that era as well. I'd say the old Airplane, pre Mickey Thomas, is my personal favorite group.
Mine as well Zonababe!
I don't know if RCA was clued in to what the Airplane was evolving to, considering the success of those monster chart hit singles off Surrealistic, but the last thing they were gonna be none for is the 3 minut max top ten chart hit 45. After Bathing At Baxters and Crown of Creation were great lp's. There were a couple 45's from each lp that were released from these lp's but their music was a LONG ways off from Takes Off, and I mean that in a positive way.
There is nothing wrong with hating certain styles of music. Call me close-minded, but I will never be able to appreciate 99.9 percent of Rap, Post-grunge or nu-metal. It just doesnt sound good to me.
I couldn't agree more. I might make it 95% rather than 99.9%, just to be nice.
Last time I listened to Surrealistic Pillow, I was impressed with how folk-sounding it seemed, as opposed to the druggy psychedelic sound I remember. Maybe it was me. (!)
Me too...
the whole musical elitism thing is a tired cliche...
it's boring....and propagated by people with limited imagination and appreciation of music.
I've yet to meet a serious musician that was 1/2 as uptight about defending musical genre boundaries and imagined band rankings as these self righteous, defensive fans riding on coattails and boostering music they had absolutely no hand in making.
But whatever floats yer boat.
You can't force people to appreciate different kinds of music...
it's just sad when someone has so little to feel good about they base their self worth on their appreciation of one band.
S'all I'm saying.
