I wouldn`t lump Jefferson Airplane in with either Jefferson Starship or just Starship as they were a key band in the San Francisco psychedelic movement and released some essential albums from that genre, they also had a lot of extremely talented individuals of which Marty Balin was a great vocalist.

After that your quite right, as all their work was steered into a commercial direction which was a pity given all the talent on show, despite all that "Knee Deep in the Hoopla" was an album I enjoyed a lot.

It's hard to forgive them for a song like "We Built This City on Rock and Roll" though... ugh, not a very memorable track at all...

Even though I`m ashamed to admit it in public, I`ve always liked that song and bought the album many years ago becuase of it.

Well, hey it's ok, I can't really criticize too much, after all, Ido happen to think that Genesis' Invisible Touch album was great, as were the ones that came after it... even the last one without Phil Collins...

That's an awesome song, I remember VH1 had it on some worst rock songs of the 80s list but they can suck my balls.

90125 is one of the finest pop albums of the 80s, I don't care what anyone says.

But anyway, while on the topic.



Awesome song, but this is probably the worst music video I've ever seen.

Oooooh, now you're going too far.

I think the Phil era Genesis albums were good up until We Can't Dance. Abacab especially gets more hate than it deserves, it seems like every prog fan thinks it's heresy for a progressive rock band to actually take a different approach after putting out the same kind of music for well over a decade. A progressive rock band experimenting with other genres of music? HOW DISGRACEFUL!

Sure, they had some terrible songs, like Illegal Alien and I Can't Dance. But they also had some real gems like That's All and Land of Confusion.

I'm a massive fan of the Gabriel era Genesis, but I will admit, the Phil Collins years had some decent material.

A Trick of the Tail was pretty good, even if it was a bit of a step down from their previous album.

Duke and Genesis (Shapes) were excellent pop/rock, but after that, I really can't say much.

Invisible Touch was God-A-wful.

It's about Billie Jean King apparently.
