"We Built This City" was a surprising song to come from Starship (who were an iteration of the Jefferson Airplane).
Judging by the lyrics, it sounded like it was trying to deliver an anti-corporate message but the song itself epitomized the over-produced, slick, polished, radio-friendly "corporate rock" sound that was so prevalent on Top 40 airwaves during that period.
The voiceover in the song was also changed to match the city that the song was played in. So while San Francisco listeners might here "I'm looking out over that Golden Gate Bridge", Bostonians would hear something like "I'm looking out over the river Charles" when played on KISS 108 (a big Top 40 station at the time).
Just another crass move to make the local listeners think that Starship wrote the song specific to THEIR city.

Yes, sadly, Karen died of anorexia at just 32, depriving the world of so much wonderful music.
Part of their secret was that Richard was the arranger, and he knew just how to arrange songs for Karen’s voice.

Just another crass move to make the local listeners think that Starship wrote the song specific to THEIR city. In the mid-80s, one of the local radio stations in Houston came up with a takeoff on that song. “We Built This City on Gas and Oil…” I don’t remember any of the lyrics.

American Pie is commentary on the 1960s and it’s devastating. It’s a paean to an America that strated to get lost in the 1960s.

I don't get why ABBA is always on the lists of least favorite bands. They wrote interesting melodies and had great harmonies. I like all kinds of music from classic rock to metal, C&W, bluegrass, classical, jazz.
Whether I like any particular piece depends on the skill of the band and quality of the song. I agree on ABBA. For the style they are good.
