Yea, I will enter the breach. As some of you may know, I really do enjoy a good, weepy ballad. Sure, they are sappy, but sometimes that's what is needed. Today we have Starship's one good song, among a pile of shit:

Damn, I love that goofy harmonica. lol

No picken on me.

I love this song, and it never fails to bring a tear to my eye. And Rebecca Demornay's in the video!

Made many a young man horny.

Guilty pleasure here lol, i know Starship get hated on A LOT!, And have even the supposed worst song of all time with ''We Built This City''

Yes there no where near the great heights of Jefferson Airplane, but they had some good pop/rock tunes

Can't forget this awsome Starship tune...

Saaara Saaara

Storms are brewin in your eyes

Saaara Saaara

No time is a good time for goodbye.....

I always liked this song but it got a special place when a "Sara" left me.....

Here's a tune by the original version of the band.

Hey, this is about sappy ballads. No junkin my punk ass thread..lol

The best part is that "storm clouds begin in your eyes," then you hear that little guitar riff. Nice.

I loved this song too. I saw this video so many times back then! Mid 80s=me not quite in school.. watching Much Music.

Wow, I remember talking about this song and a few on here ripped into me LOL. Peter Wolf (not the J Geils band member) is a legend to me LOL.

Love Starship, and their "no protection" album is a beast if you like your AOR hi tech and keys/drums programmed heavily.

Other highlights from this album for me are "Hearts of the world (will understand)" and "love rusts", which is blessed by some decent lyrics by Bernie Taupin

Might as well be a different band LOL. The last Jefferson Starship album ("Nuclear furniture") could be considered a Starship album though if you take out Paul Katner's few contributions...

And their 1989 reunion album on CBS was pretty odd aswell. Odd because most of it was the slick (no pun intended) and poppy rock stuff that made original members Grace Slick and Paul Kantner quit the band in the first place. Further irony happened when the Starship album without Grace Slick released in 1989 called "Love Among the Cannibals", actually rocked harder and was alot more honest then their self titled album from the same year.

By far the best cut on their reuinion album was written by members of Toto LOL. Similar studio veterans played on the album aswell, making it even more corporate then Starships AOR rocking "Love among the cannibals" from that same year.

Made up of original members Paul kantner and Marty Balin, as it's mid 80's, this album is very poppy aswell. I do love some of it (as I would do). Even the patriotic, optimistic "America", which is so mid 80's LOL.

The OP wanted ballads and Miracles is one.

Always loved this one. The best part is the "no TIME is a good tiiiime, ooohhh" near the end.

This is my favorite song by them

I had a taste of the real world

When I went down on you,girl

I wonder if these lyrics were controversial back in 1975?
