An incredible vocalist of whose material I know very little. I'm basically familiar with White Rabbit, Somebody to Love, and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now. What else is worth listening to?

Great Society Live At the Matrix set with her original band with the guitar stylings of her brother in law Darby Slick definitely.

some of Sunfighter is pretty great too as is the very early stuff by Jefferson Starship Dragonfly and Red Octopus.I really liked Dreams when I heard it regularly too but not heard it for a while.

All of Red Octopus is really good imo. "Al Garimasu (There Is Love)" is probably the song that features Slick's vocals the most. xp!

I can't separate her best vocals from my favourite songs. (I tried--I started to type in "Her best vocals are..." and realized I was simply going to name my favourite songs.) The "feed your head" part of "White Rabbit" is awesome. "Mexico" is my favourite Airplane song that she sings. She really goes into overdrive at the end of that, too.

Don't forget "rejoyce" from After Bathing at Baxter's. It's probably one of the earliest rock songs combining jazz and classical art song, and without any guitars.

"Mexico" is one of those songs where I like my misheard lyric better than the real one. For years I heard "Talking about the problems of the leaf/And yes, it'll be back soon" as "Talking about the problems of belief/And yes, it'll be back soon." "The leaf" is kind of corny; "the problems of belief" give the song philosophical weight, pot as the gateway to higher consciousness it's supposed to be. So I still sing my lyric.
