About the band: Jefferson Airplane were an American rock band, formed in 1965, and one of the pioneering bands of psychedelic rock. Between 1966 and their split up in 1972 they released seven studio albums. Jefferson Airplane currently have one song in my list of about 200 best pop/rock songs of all time.
About the song: White rabbit, a track from their 1967 album Surrealistic pillow, is easily the best song from the flower power generation. Grace Slick's voice passionately renders the story of Alice in Wonderland, although the links with the drugs scene of that time are quite obvious, right from the start. "One pill makes you larger and one pill makes you small, the hookah smoking caterpillar, you've just had some kind of mushroom and your mind is moving low...". A surprise USA top ten hit, the song remains a popular feature on classic rock stations around the world. Run time 2:34.
