Which Jefferson? Airplane or Starship?

I like bits and pieces of all three, Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and Starship. But lean towards the early stuff.

If you're nutty like me, you'll be searching for the different versions of lyrics in LPM 3584 (M) "Takes Off" album. I buy every copy I run across.
 
I like Both Airplane and Starship. Love the song Miracles from the mid-70's. Airplane was great with Grace Slick on vocals. She sure can belt out a tune.

It's funny, watching PBS last night and they had one of their pledge nights going. They had Jefferson Airplane on one of those salute to the 60's. They had another blonde singer on doing Grace Slick. She sounded petty good, but acted a little trippy during White Rabbit.
 
Airplane. The only Starship album I really like is the first one, "Blows Against The Empire," which most people have never heard. That was a concept album, about hijacking a starship to another viable planet and starting over. It's where the new name came from, I think.

Damn, we think too much alike. I was actually gonna make it a poll, with all three options, plus Thomas. :)

It was better than my next picks, which were going to be George and Weezie. They didn't build the city, but they moved on up within it.
 
Airplane, plus Blows Against The Empire.

I admit that Dragonfly is one of my guilty pleasures, and there's even a song or two on Red Octopus (which I do not own) that I like.

I was lucky enough to see Starship at Radio City Music Hall when they first appeared with Craig Chaquico on guitar and Dave Freiberg (sp?) on bass (I think). They did the entire second side of "Blows" with a pretty cool light show.
 
Airplane. For a number of years I refused to acknowledge that Starship existed. Inno! Not right and not fair. I have realized the error of my ways, but still prefer Airplane.
As a matter of fact, may now have to play Bark tonight. :)

I do like JA on: Volunteers and BARK.

But overall, Early Starship and Hot Tuna have a lot more representation in my collection.

70's starship. Hot Tuna. Jorma solo.

Mickey Thomas was in the Elvin Bishop Group for a while. Fooled Around And Fell In Love. 1976. Good stuff.
 
70s Jefferson (1770s and 1970s):
