The 60s died too early.

I discovered Jefferson Airplane late in life after watching Bob Costas interview Grace Slick, and I was mesmerized by her. I bought their compilation "the worst of jefferson airplane" and enjoy almost every song on there. I'd take issue with an assertion that a band is only as good as its mainstream hits.
