8) Love Starship.....but I like the older....My Fave...White Rabbit..from 1967...YR I was born...Great year...LOL.. ;D

I'm a huge Starship fan!  My ultimate favorite is "Sara."  That song is beautiful. 

As Starship, it was really the end of the line for the group, but yes, 'Sara' is a very nice song. I too prefered them as Jefferson Airplane/Starship.

Well, let's see....my favorite Starship songs would have to be Sara (because that is my name! Only it's spelled with an h but, oh well ;D) I also like We Built This City and Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.

I also love Starship, (was actually just listening to them in the car), but if I never heard
"We Built This City" again, that'd be just fine.

I like We Built This City, it's one of my favorite songs.

I like We Built This City, it's one of my favorite songs.


Did u ever see "Back in 1985" on MuchMoreMusic?  They voted that the worst song and video ever .. pretty much trashed it completely.  I e-mailed MMM in a rage after I saw that.  Never heard back from them.  lol

Blender also ranked it as the worst song of all time...



I don't like any incarnation of the band, though there's worse '80's songs than "We Built This City" like "Oh Sherrie" from Steve Perry (No offense to Journey fans, but I just can't Steve Perry's voice)

Well, "We Built this City" is either a love it or hate it song, it seems.

I'm in the love it category. Just for the song itself, it's a perfect party song - upbeat and fun (who cares if it's synthesized or sounds like a Burger King commerical, as VH1 put it!). But since it's in obvious reference to San Francisco and I'm from that area, that makes it more special, LOL. ;)

Also grew up listening to the semi upbeat rock ballad "Sara". From that album, I also now like "Desperate Heart", "Hearts of the World" (both catchy pop/rock which could've been big hits) and the heavier "Rock Myself to Sleep".

The other two albums under the Starship name in the 80's were good too, but not consistantly the way Knee Deep in the Hoopla was.

You forgot the solo works of another member of the group, Mickey Thomas.

Probably his best known work after Starship was the soundtrack to the movie Dream A Little Dream.  He did a cover of the title song, both by himself, and as a duet with Mel Torme.  Both versions were incredible.

I saw him in concert in 1993, and it was incredible.

wasn't "we built this city" on some list of the worst songs of all time? I personally hated that tune.

I liked jefferson airplane but the starship incarnation didn't do much for me. i always thought of them in the same breath as "triumph," for some reason. Maybe they both played flying Vs, or something.

My favorite Starship song is "No way out". That song takes me back to the summer of 84' getting ready to go away to college.....

I love them....my favorite songs are:

I Didn't Mean to Stay all night  and Beat Patrol.....I also love Jane, No Way Out, and It's Not Over Til It's Over. And I love : Find Your Way Back...their CD is one of my most played CD's.

I love so much music from the 70's that they did...some of my favs from then are:

Count on Me, Miracles and I love.....With Your Love.

"We Built This City" was a song I absolutely loved at the time and wonder, now how I could ever have listened to it, let alone like it.
