102: Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow (1967)

The Jefferson Airplane's drugged-up, hyper-political jams are often dismissed as a relic of the late 1960s. But the band's talent was in abundance on their earnest debut album The Jefferson Airplane Takes Off ; and when they added vocalist Grace Slick to their lineup and recorded their second album, 1967's Surrealistic Pillow , the whole world discovered what they were capable of. In discussing that album, Ben, Amanda, and John make the case that the Airplane's musicianship, harmonies, and attitude all hold up today.
