one of those songs you listen to when youre feeling a bit low.. slow build up..then turn it up
Great band
Great live band
Should have been much biggeryeah agree although I never got to see them live, you lucky bastard! A couple of tracks I must have played over and over again.
Probably like the first album from bloc party - silent alarm one of the best albums of that decade

just had to put it on random now, not often you find an album where every song is strong (if you like catchie indie rock that is ).

@mariner4life A legend - effectively established the template for a female Rock singer
First person to say muthafucker on TV
Tried to spike Nixon's drink with acid
Came out of retirement to sing at a 9/11 gig. Came on stage dressed in a burqa and stripped it off to reveal a stars and stripes beneath
Prodigious appetite for drink, drugs and sex - allegedly -

in San Fran in the late 60s? naaaah
she was fine too

Back in the day my life's ambition was to die of a drug overdose in Haight Ashbury.
Ms Slick may have also featured in my silly little teenage dreams.
Youth truly is wasted on the young!
Shame Starship sort of ruined the legacy of Airplane.

When I was in San Francisco in the early 2000s I walked across the Golden Gate Bridge down to Sausalito. There was an art gallery in the main street (Google says it was Fingerhut Gallery) that had a painting of Jimi Hendrix in the front window. A closer inspection showed that the artist was Grace Slick. She painted a lot of portraits of other musicians.

She is also single handedly responsible for at least one massive hole in the ozone layer too. Starship epitomised everything cringy about the 80s.

I think she agrees with you
Mind you we can’t let Mickey and the rest of the band get off too lightly. They looked like a walking thatch cottages with their “do’s”.

Grace Slick had been a massive alcoholic until the early/mid-80s, and was probably broke. She came out of that and wanted hits and money. Deliberately went for the most commercial and pop oriented sound and songs they could pull off.
We Built This City may be the worst song of the 80s.

It worked. Last time I read one of those value lists she was around US$35 Mill.
For that sort of coin I'd sing any old shit too.

Massive call considering ‘nothings gonna stop us now’ is fucken horrific too.

You know not of what you speak.
Take this #1 hit in NZ from 1968 (I think) I do remember it was in the charts at the same time as Hendrix's version of All Along The Watchtower. Proof positive of the tyranny of the majority
Homer did a good version
I love Hendrix but despise ‘All along the watchtower’. Terrible song.
