Starship has ONE banger. Jane is an amazing song. Everything else is crap.Wanted to pick Flock of Seagulls, but as much as I like Space Age Love Song and Wishing, Starship has too many bangers, though I did just learn that Jane came out in 1979
I was afraid if I included them, Molly would thing the list is real.Are y’all all out of love for Air Supply?
Find Your Way Back is a very good song. We Built This City was fine until everyone decided that was the song to shit on from the 80s. I'm no Starship apologist (they were better in the 60s for sure), but from the list given, they are pretty good.Starship has ONE banger. Jane is an amazing song. Everything else is crap.
We Built this City is Starship, but Find Your Way Back is Jefferson Starship. A distinction that I bet confuses the band members to this day.Find Your Way Back is a very good song.

A little trivia for you younguns - Starship played Wait Chapel, oh, around 85 or 86.
I think it was Fall 85, This song We Built This City and band did not appeal to college students (or at least Wake students) and attendance was embarrassingly low from what I was told. The university either pouted or was so financially stung or did not trust themselves to book act that they did not bring another band to Wake until Bruce Hornsby and The Range in either 88 or 89. Bruce had good attendance, perhaps bc students were hungry for any on campus concert or afraid of another prolonged dry spell.A little trivia for you younguns - Starship played Wait Chapel, oh, around 85 or 86.
It didn't take time to prove it- that song was awful from the very beginning.I think it was Fall 85, This song We Built This City and band did not appeal to college students (or at least Wake students) and attendance was embarrassingly low from what I was told.

Time has proved Wake students correct in that We Built This City tops many Worst Songs of the 80's lists.
That's possible, although I didn't think I would have gone to that concert my senior year. And yes it was extremely poorly attended. I think I was there for the first half and then left. But tbh I don't remember much. Take from that what you will.I think it was Fall 85, This song We Built This City and band did not appeal to college students (or at least Wake students) and attendance was embarrassingly low from what I was told.
