Quicksilver Messenger Service did suck, but that has NOTHING to do with how great the first Moby Grape album is.

And the first Moby Grape album is GREAT. Aside from the first three/four Love albums just about my favorite 60s California sound LP, stomping the living crap out of anything the Airplane, the Dead, the Springfield or any of those other hippies put out.

I loved Moby Grape, one of the bands that are overlooked by then, the late 60's, but I'm glad that you brought the band up, a very talented guitarist line up, & it was the drummer for the Jefferson Airplane that was in the group, I forget his name, spencer somebody, I can't remember (I had to many acid flashbacks) but a great band.

The Rolling Stones ain't just a group, their a way of life-Andrew Loog Oldham.

Skip Spence was a guitarist and songwriter ("Omaha") with Moby Grape. He had previously been drummer on the Jefferson Airplane's first album (pre-Grace Slick), and was replaced by Spencer Dryden. Before the Airplane, Spence was a guitarist with Quicksilver Messenger Service.
