I am still in the process of discovering their output, so I don't feel like making a Top 10 of them yet. A lot of great stuff though.

They blew my mind at 13 too.

I put together the Jefferson Airplane-plus compilation over on the make-your-own thread. Someone said I should have included "Rejoyce" and "Hey Frederick." Maybe--there's nothing I'd want to leave off what I came up with, though. Anyway, my 10:

"'Runnin 'Round This World"
"Blues from an Airplane"
"Come Up the Years"
"J.P.P. McStep B. Blues"
"Today"
"Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon"
"It's No Secret" (Pointed Little Head version)
"We Can Be Together"
"Mexico"
"Thunk"

― clemenza, Tuesday, 21 September 2010 00:22 (fifteen years ago)

I'm actually amazed that no one above chose "Mexico." To me, that's their greatest song ever.
