Volunteers is a 1969 album by American Psychedelic Rock band, Jefferson Airplane . It is still considered one of the more controversial albums of all time, mostly relating to anti-war messages in the songs. The original title of the album was supposed to be "Volunteers of America", but pressure from RCA lead to the actual name.

Some people have criticized the album, stereotyping it as typical of the Hippie philosophy with anti-war and pro- Anarchism songs. The theme of the nature, communities and ecology was also explored with "The Farm" and "Eskimo Blue Day".
