Whipping post
"Wond'ring Again" and "Life Is a Long Song" (Jethro Tull, Living in the Past).
A bit difficult to choose, as I like just about every "non-hit" on Tull's first half-dozen or so albums.
Today by Jefferson Airplane. It was probably overwhelmed by the dual assault of White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. Many of the psychedelic rock artists started out playing folk music. To me, this tender ballad showed the transition between the two genres. Some memorable Jerry Garcia guitar playing, too.
Skynyrd from Street Survivors, Ain't no Good Life. That song made me realize just how good Steve Gaines was.
While we're on the subject (sort of), how about the lesser-known Airplane version of "Wooden Ships"? Seems to me that you only heard this one late at night on the "underground" FM station and not very often, at that. For my money it's more haunting and evocative than CS & N's take (which, to be sure, rocked a little harder).Today by Jefferson Airplane.

Ha-ha. Very clever. I think you must have realized that what I was alluding to is the fact that the CS&N version was much more popular than the Airplane variant. To my knowledge, the Airplane never released a version of "Wooden Ships" other than the one on Volunteers.which is the lesser-know Airplane version of Ships?
I am sure I must own it but have no clue which you speak of? A live release?

I am sorry if my post led to any ambiguity in your mind.
I think you're quite right, and I would go as far as to say that the version you hear first might have the bigger influence. F'rinstance, the first time I heard "Triad" was when listening to the live CS&N release Four Way Street with the David Crosby preamble. So for me, it will always be a CS&N song rather than a Byrds or an Airplane song, and more specifically, a David Crosby song. Plus, it's my recollection that he got the songwriting credit.Do you think of Triad an Airplane song or CSN?
Maybe it was just what group we were in when these songs were popular that colors perception.
