As an inductee of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and founder, vocalist and songwriter of the Jefferson Airplane and later Jefferson Starship, Marty Balin's role in the birth of 60's music has earned him a place in the annals of rock history. His chart-topping single "Miracles" from his Jefferson Starship days has sold millions of copies and has become a radio standard. The song has been inducted into BMI's Millionaires club having been played 2.7 million times. Marty came to the attention of San Leandro Theatre operator and recording company owner Rene T. Lamarre, who was impressed to the point of arranging a demo session, which led to Marty's first recording contract with Challenge Records in LA. The first release for Marty Balin, at the age of twenty, was "Nobod More...

The only time these morons want to be heard is when they have nothing good to say about anything or anyone. Get a life you idiots and be positive for once. This song is a good feel song. BEST song ever | Reviewer: JSpunge ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship First things first, he's talking about how corporations and business and money are becoming more important than music. no, they aren't rock and roll, but at least they're real music. The people that say these lyrics are stupid, pointless, or bad, should try listening to a station that plays new music (or watch muchmusic if you're canadian) and you'll see that these guys had a real something. not to mention that the tune is AMAZING, this is a legend of a piece. relpy to wost pop song ever | Reviewer: justin ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship Are you kidding me? I would rather take a tour of hell than a tour of your iPod. This song is amazing. There are many, many, many songs whose lyrics make no sense to the listener. The point of this song is not for the lyrics to weave into a tapestry of intellectual prose--it's just supposed to be a catchy, iconic anthem that characterizes the 80s. Cryptic yet meaningful | Reviewer: XaoMeow ------ About the song The Awakening performed by Jefferson Starship I first happened upon this interesting piece of music some 20-25 years ago during my teens. I felt an odd sensation when listening to it and ever since I had thought of it from time to time and then recently when I got another copy of it and listened to it again after maybe a decade, I'm starting to see how it could have loosely mirrored my life. Synchronicity in a song.. I wonder if Pete Sears realized this when coming up with the song? my critique. | Reviewer: jenn ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship I enjoy this song, I do not take it all too seriously. I do, however, agree that the lyrics make little sense, and after seeing the skill these guys had in the late 60's, and the transformation of Grace Slick's singing from an amazing voice into what she delivered in their "comeback" hit, well, it dissapoints. Its not comparable to "White rabbit" in any way. At all I'm not bashing the song, I'm simply saying they once had more going for them. The WORST pop song ever recorded!!! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship I have been listening to pop music for more than 45 years now. Today, while enjoying my toasted chicken breast sandwich at Subway my ears were attacked with "We Built This City" from the speakers in the ceiling. I actually took the time to explain to my ten year old son that what he was hearing was easily the worst pop song of all time. Despite what others have posted here on this discussion string, the lyrics ARE pointless and for lack of a better word STUPID. Thelyrics hop all over the place with a thin narrative thread. It is as if Jefferson Starship boiled the lyrics in hot water in order to burn of any signs of intelligence so that when the water steamed away they were left with pure, 100% stupidity. Cities are not built on or by rock and roll and were never meant to be - not even when speaking figuratively. Rock and roll is rebellion and punk, it is not "Knee deep in the hoopla / Sinking in your fight / Too many runaways / Eating up the night. Huh? Icky bad. Yes there was a "San Francisco" sound many years ago, but no one cared by the time this song was released. "Don't you remember?" No, I rather not if this is part of the San Fran heritage. I'll take my cities anthem made famous by Jerry Lee Lewis (that's rock and roll) who sang "What Made Milwaukee Famous Made a Looser Out of Me." Great lyrics, a great hook and chorus, it is truly about the city and it's heritage and it is about beer. Everyone cares about beer. Don't you remember? Jibberish don't think soo | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship If you listen to the words they are singing about how rock and roll and radio made the city. How songs are made popular in schools by teens, and in dance clubs. The line Marconi plays the mamba is just saying the radio plays the mamba, Marconi was the inventor of the radio. SO maybe if people would listen and use the organ between their ears they could figure it out.... haha... | Reviewer: Sara ------ About the song Sara performed by Jefferson Starship i love this song! my name is sara. i wish my ex would sing it to me, but he turned out to be a jerk and broke up with me after 3 years, somewhere in the back of my mind everyday i wonder what he thinks about everything. i havent talked to him since the day we split. its painful, but life moves on and just like the verse says.. Go now don't look back we've drawn the line Move on it's no good to go back in time so im movin on :) best of starship | Reviewer: todd bush ------ About the song Count On Me performed by Jefferson Starship the lyrics are beautiful; the song melody-flows like a river, all vocals-awesome. this is the best song of the vast Starship library. Every man should have these words in his heart at all times when in the presence of his wife or fiance'. Not rubbish | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship The lyrics for this song are not rubbish or pointless, they are talking about the city of San Francisco. The radio clip in the middle of the song was and still is an actual radio station there, which still plays the same songs but is now an 'oldies' radio station. I agree it's a great song, one of my alltime favorites, but just because you don't see the meaning in the lyrics don't call them 'pointless' An outstanding track | Reviewer: Bruce ------ About the song Hyperdrive performed by Jefferson Starship I recently rediscovered this track and was wondering what the intervening years would have done to it. I guess the answer is that it may sound a bit silly to some kids. It is still a fabulous track, with Grace Slick at her very best and some very sweet guitar. Lyrically, though it sounds like word association. It still sounds powerful, but if you actually think about the words they end up like smoke. There is really very little content there. I am more metal these days than I used to be, but I still love this Acid rock sound and am thrilled to have found the album again. Sara by Jefferson Starship | Reviewer: Vicki Lee Angelo ------ About the song Sara performed by Jefferson Starship Love the song, had to look up lyrics for a gal I know named Sara. She says everyone sings just Sara to her when she is at work at the 7/11. Said no one knew other words. I do now. Haha I have seen the Starship in San Diego at the Stadium, won the tickets from 106.9 in San Diego, Ca. Awesome, fricking awesome. Even though it has been over 25 years since I have seen them, am still a faithful fan. they built the cities of rock and roll | Reviewer: Bea ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship okej, I gotta say; this is not the best song I've ever heared. I think it's both funny and good at the same time. but it has a catchy chorus that you easily can learn and sing-a-long to, and yea.. I'm addicted to it xDD Incredible Starship Sails Forever! | Reviewer: Les ------ About the song Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now performed by Jefferson Starship "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" was and remains a self-fulfilling prophecy, not only for romantic lovers but for Jefferson Starship as well as their music lives on in our hearts. Uplifting, inspirational words delivered with power, conviction and astounding vocal range! Anything said after that would detract from this absolutely stunning piece of music from a truly unique combination of gifted musicians. Legendary | Reviewer: Steven ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship This song.. is simply amazing.. anyone who thinks it sucks.. open your eyes people loved that song back in the 80's and still continue to love it in the 21st century. Its an immortal classic. Simply Amazing. I love this song! | Reviewer: Gosia ------ About the song We Built This City performed by Jefferson Starship OMG this song is incredible! In my opinion "We built this city" is the best of the best song's 80's! When I listening it I feel power and I can do everything... I'm really sad when I think that in my country and in the world we must waiting long time when somebody write and singing song who take mi this feeling... If I make a mistake I'm sorry I learn English ;) Re: Jane by Jefferson Starship | Reviewer: Tracy Cartwright ------ About the song Jane performed by Jefferson Starship This is a pretty accurate listing of this song's lyrics - except for two small issue - and I do mean small lol. Since watching that "Don't Forget The Lyrics" show I've realized how important those small words are so... In the first stanza, last line, it should read , .."makin' believe that you JUST don't feel the same.." (Not "still don't feel...") And at the end when he's singing...."Janie, Janie, etc. It should be "Janie, Janie, Janie, Janie, Jane..." (You forgot that final "Jane" lol.) That's all that I saw that needs changing. Otherwise this is the best representation of these lyrics that I've found yet. Good job!! St.Charles the anthem of my youth | Reviewer: moonchil ------ About the song St. Charles performed by Jefferson Starship Will always remind me of my first love Christine who I haven't seen since 1977. Still get chills down my spine,still get a tear in my eye when I listen to it even now. A song of my youth before the world turned me into a cynical old fool. Classic song from a classic album by a classic band.
