Considered one of the most important and influential psychedelic rock acts of the counterculture era, Jefferson Airplane was founded in San Francisco in 1965. It was the first group from the San Francisco scene to become an international success, performing at several important rock festivals (including Monterey, Woodstock, Altamont, and the Isle of Wight). The Airplane was known for a distinctive mix of rock and folk (in their debut, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off), but developed a heavy psychedelic sound by the time of the release of After Bathing at Baxter’s in late 1967. Two of their biggest hits, White Rabbit and Somebody to Love, were included in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
