Starship- We Built This City (what do you think)

[Pyewacket]

This song topped the list (seriously, #1) on a Blender magazine poll of the worst rock songs ever written a few years ago. But frankly, I don't know why. It is certainly a silly little pop song with a bit of a dumb lyric....but absolute worst song? That should go to something released by The Romantics or Sigue Sigue SPutnik or Ke$ha.

I think it's great! I love all versions of this band!! I don't know why people want to put down Starship. Yes, it may not be everything that the other two incarnations were, but it's good music just the same!

[Travisevian]

Although, it's not my favourite song from Starship's Knee Deep In The Hoopla(prefer Rock Myself To Sleep, Sara, Tomorrow Doesn't Matter Tonight, Love Rusts), I think it's a pretty good upbeat song, not the atrocious song that many people make it out to be.

Reportedly, it was initially offered to Heart, who declined. If I'm not mistaken, Martha Davis, I believe, has also said that the musical track(without the lyrics) was given to her by Bernie Taupin.

Once they replaced Marty Balin with Mickey Thomas, I was done with them.

Mickey is amazing, only good thing about that incarnation of the band.

I know this song word for word, just sayin'

But I do like them better waaaaaay back when they had Grace Slick. They still make some awesome music without her though, I have a few of their LP's.
