Can't say I've ever been more than a casual listener, but they were pretty big in that era.

I like Airplane, but really got into the other things like Blows Against the Empire and Sunfighter.
Kantner was a revolutionary musical genius.

Damn, another great musician has passed away. I always dug the pre-80s Jefferson Starship and Kantner's playing, sad to see him go.

"Hey man, I'd like to mention that the Hell's Angels just smashed Marty Balin in the face and knocked him out for a bit. I'd like to thank you for that".

And in a strange case of coincidence, Signe Anderson passed away on the same day as Paul. She was the original singer of Jefferson Airplane, replaced by Grace Slick.
