I'm not generally a huge fan of greatest-hits collections, but I do
recommend the 2-disc Jefferson Airplane set "2400 Fulton Street."
Along with a fine selection of album tracks, it also includes some
amusing stuff, particularly a sequence of Levi commercials which sound
exactly as you would imagine Jefferson Airplane doing 60's Levi
commercials would sound..

Should I whisper here that I actually rather liked the song "We Built
This City"? It was the last decent song I heard on the pop radio
during a period of rapid decline in quality. (From what I've heard,
the dreck period only lasted about five years, and there has been much
excellent pop during the 90s. But I never got back into the habit of
radio listening.)
Of the classic Airplane songs, besides the obligatory "White Rabbit"
and "Somebody to Love", I have two definite favorites, those being
"Lather" and "Good Shepherd". That makes five songs I like by one
band, which is enough to elevate almost any band to my long list of
favorite groups.
Oh, and thanks for the ID, guys. If I had ever heard of a song called
"That's All" by Genesis, I'm sure it would have occurred to me that it
was probably the one I was thinking of; but since I hadn't, someone
needed to point it out to me.

"Good Shepherd" is excellent. "Lather" is cute but gets on my nerves..
I think my favorite Airplane song is probably "Martha"..

The whole SURREALISTIC PILLOW album hangs together very well after 22 years.
On most of the rest of the albums I find myself kicking the next-track
button with a fair bit of regularity; my second favorite album is probably
VOLUNTEERS, but that one just has four songs I love:
"We Can Be Together," "Good Shepherd," "Wooden Ships" and "Volunteers."
The WORST OF JEFFERSON AIRPLANE collection
rounds up most of the tracks I love, with the exception of "Wooden Ships."
I may just be fixated on that collection because an old girlfriend owned one.
I'm always on the lookout for bands whose singing style in any way
approaches the attack of the Airplane at its peak.

I somewhere, recently, picked up a copy of "the Worst of Jefferson Airplane"
quite cheaply (I think it was Best Buy, for $5.00 or so) with the theory
that although I already had all the material elsewhere I could throw it in
with the CDs I keep in my car and not worry about it being stolen.
You can have it for a few bucks if you'd like a CD copy, I'd already pretty
much decicded I prefer to burn my own selection of tracks for the car..

I really liked After Bathing at Baxters. The cover art work has a great
airplane with many floors, lots of flags, etc. The music is good too.
