The magazine said the Starship song earned the accolade because it inspired "the most virulent feelings of outrage"

Some questions.

Why did "Jefferson Airplane" change their name to "Jefferson Starship"?

And when did they know it?

<> Ha Ha! About 1970 Paul Kantner, Mr. Grace Slick, did something of a solo project called "Jefferson Starship - Blows against the Empire". It is something of a concept album. Things evolved from there. Out of the 45 min. or so of music, there may be 35-37 seconds worth listening to.

Airplane became Starship around 74/75 when the band split up (Jefferson Starship and Hot Tuna formed with the splintered members)

Jefferson was dropped in 84/85 with revolving musicians.

Though I didn't care for Starship I did get their last (I believe) album as a gift "Love Among the Cannibals" and loved it. Several good, um, mood songs (I Didn't Mean to Stay all Night, Healing Waters, It's Not Enough, I'll be There for You) I also think it was the only album done without Slick.
