Good, but where is We Built This City? .......2006-08-06

I heard this CD recently on vacation up in New York, and I liked it. But where is their most recognizable hit, We Built This City, from 1985? It could have been an 11th track on this CD. Despite that omission, this is a solid album focusing on lesser known songs from their 3 late '80s albums. There's more of an emphasis on the musicianship of the band in this 1993 compilation. I think that their songs got more muscle when they went with producer Mike Shipley in 1989 than Peter Wolf and Mike Olsen('87 was his year with Whitesnake) on the '85 and '87 albums. It's Not Enough and I Didn't Mean To Stay All Night have a Def Leppard-type feel in the choruses, but they made Starship sounding better. The album starts off with their slower midtempo ballads before charging it up on Beat Patrol and Transatlantic. Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now still sounds robust 20 years later. Love Rusts is the most dramatic, with the bells chiming within the song. Mickey Thomas and Grace Slick sound dynamic on it--sometimes it recalls the earlier social consciousness of Grace's previous band Jefferson Airplane. Lastly, the album closes with It's Not Over 'Til It's Over, which is rocking but thought provoking at the same time. It's "never give up" lyrics would rival any of Anthony Robbins' popular infomercials and motivational tapes! I think the person who compiled this album wanted to show the band's musical prowess and not the commercial, corporate label that critics placed on them. This is one CD worth checking out despite the exclusion of "City."

Best of Starship is a sound you want to hear again & again.......2003-02-05

I had this CD and I accidentally broke it. I play it all the time and have had it as soon as it was released. Every song on this CD could be released as a hit. Every song is different in music and the harmonys and Grace Slick's wonderful voice, makes you want to listen to it over and over again. A classic example of what a great album is! I love it!

SIMPLY AWESOME!.......1999-12-19

This cd is juss toooo good! All the songs are nice with good lyrics. Much better than "Starship at their best" and the ones in this category.
