Jefferson Airplane is a Garage rock and Progressive rock act. Their catalogue also touches Psychedelic rock and Rock. Their sound grew out of Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Nicky Hopkins, Memphis Minnie, Country Joe and the Fish and Fred Neil.

They run in the same orbit as Spirit, Big Brother & The Holding Company, Cream, The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band and The Yardbirds, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Dotter, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, Townes Van Zandt, Kevin Parker and Paul Kalkbrenner, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
