We've lost another legend...arguably an early pioneer of metal

Their best song, imo.

I was listening to it earlier.
If you read the comments there's a moving story by someone called H Lawrence. I didn't even know what to say to the poor guy.

For us drug users......THIS was their best song. 80 mg of Oxy, 30 mg valium or a xanax tab, turn this on and get ready to touch the face of God.

edit: I am not suggesting anyone actually take those drugs.

I always liked how the band turned into this:

The early Kantner sound is completely gone, but Grace Slick can still carry it.

I like when the band evolved into this....two of my favorite songs from the 70s. Marty Balin is highly underrated.

A man after my own heart...
I had actually been listening to surrealistic pillow in the car a lot since the turn of the year. No real reason(!) except it had been years since I'd heard it & dusted it off.
But this is still their best song for me: tho I adore the performance of white rabbit & it's up there no doubt one of best ever, somebody to love is just a perfect universal pop song
