Starship (formerly Jefferson Starship, formerly Jefferson Airplane) gets a bad rap because they were a decent rock band who sold out and went pop. I say good for them! "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is a classic! The movie "Mannequin" would have been awful without it. With it.....well I don't have to tell you about the lofty status it holds.
Billy Ocean......my man! "Caribbean Queen," "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car," and "When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Going".......freaking awesome. No clue what Billy looks like but I imagine he's a good mixture between Michael Jackson, before he went white and started molesting
And if you can tell me with a straight face that when you hear "First....when there's nothing....but a slow moving dream....." you don't get absolutely stoked. Flash freaking dance, man!!! That's pure emotion going on in that song, fully exemplified by that stripper in the movie (wouldn't grade her above an 8 by the way).
Don't even get me started on Kenny Loggins......a god.
Enjoy the bad songs of your youth and you'll be a happier person. True story. You'll join me. I'll be where the eagle's flying HIGHER and HIGHER. You're the best around.....nothing's gonna ever bring you down. Listen to your heart....when it's calling for you. You can feel it coming in the air tonight. Don't blame it on the rain. We're living in a material world and I am a material girl, or boy. Now if you'll excuse me.....I gotta gotta cut loose......footloose.
