Starship's "We Built This City" has been named the worst of the worst--again. This time, Rolling Stone readers have deemed the #1 hit from 1985 the worst song of the '80s. It's just a song. Why the visceral hatred? Is it really more horrible than Ohio Express's "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" or Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry"? There is something more off-putting at work here than over-commercialized music. "We Built This City" is the painful mirror into the baby boomer soul. Read my piece @ the American Spectator on how Starship's schlocky hit reminded listeners that it wasn't just the hippie-chick icon singing that had sold out, but a generation of conformist rebels.

The Jefferson Airplane were a great band. But sometime after their second offering, things started going South.

Grace Slick was very, very, Yummy, Yummy, Yummy. In the day.

The only reason Surrealistic Pillow was any good was because Jerry Garcia produced it and acted as "spirtual advisor".

Maybe that's what Garcia should have stuck to. Spiritual advising.

"She's a beauty" by The Tubes gives Starship a run for its money. Complete rubbish.

"Tainted Love" by Soft Cell. Hate it.

That reminds me, worse song ever? "Cocaine" by The Dead.
