Editing Jefferson Airplane (section)

==Style and legacy==
William Ruhlmann of ''[[AllMusic]]'' conferred the title of the "quintessential San Francisco [[Psychedelic music|psychedelic]] band" on Jefferson Airplane, saying they "defined the San Francisco sound in the '60s". In the book ''Rock Chronicles'', editor David Roberts assessed that the band "soared as ''the'' soundtrack to America's late-sixties counterculture, with its psychedelia, pot, and anti-Vietnam War, anti-establishment protest. [...] Indeed, the band's whole persona [was] infused with a potent cocktail of marijuana, LSD, cocaine, and amphetamines." Additionally, Ruhlmann stated the band was "a defining force in pop before turning toward political statements in the late '60s." The band's sound has been described as a "[[Folk music|folk]]-[[Garage rock|garage]] acid mix," with Jorma Kaukonen's guitar work being characterized as exhibiting [[acid rock]] flavors.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Jefferson Airplane Songs, Albums, Reviews, Bio... |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/jefferson-airplane-mn0000840102#biography |access-date=2025-03-17 |website=AllMusic |language=en}}</ref><ref>Roberts, David.
