We Built this City” by Jefferson Starship comes close.

Especially considering that the earlier Jefferson Airplane put out the likes of the awesome Volunteers.

The soul generation got old I guess.

“Probably the worst single released by a popular hit making band ever.
“We Built this City” by Jefferson Starship comes close.”

Paul Kantner had no use for “We built this city” either. Don’t remember the quote. Just remember he said something like “yeah right” with a facial expression of disgust.

No use for Mr Roboto either. Many might have loved it but I don’t like crowds or mobs.

I have a soft spot for Jefferson Starship's Marty Balin-penned 70s yacht rock ballads like "Count On Me" and "Miracles" and I've always liked their early 80s rockers "Jane" and "Stranger" but they lost me during their "Sara" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" 80s schmaltz. But can't deny these pop hits made them swimming pools full of money.

I have a strange relationship with "We Built This City." I HATED HATED HATED IT for 30 years and then one day I heard it and I liked it.

Just like early Genesis - amazing creative prog rock, and then the 1980s gave us Phil Collins and the popification of the band.
