Best Songs By Jefferson Airplane / Starship

1. Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now

   

   Somebody to Love is my favorite, but this one definitely needs to be higher.

2. We Built This City

   

   It's not my favorite either, but I honestly don't think this is a horrible song. Today's music is crap, it's just crap, it's CRAP. I would take the "worst of the 80s" over any of the autotune "up in the club" songs from today.

   Plus, I have to defend Mickey Thomas's voice. He's a very underrated vocalist.

   What a catchy song this is. I'm not worried about the lyrics, I just love how it sounds.

   This song should be number 1. By far the best song. Great guitar, drums, bass, and singing. Amazing hit. Everything is amazing about it.

3. White Rabbit

   

   One of the best songs ever written or sung. Perfect.

   Absolutely one of my very favorites of all time by any band, although I prefer the version Grace Slick did with The Great Society.

4. Sara

   

   My favorite song in the 80s.

5. Somebody to Love

   

   I listened to White Rabbit first and I was shocked to hear music of that level. Then I heard this song and I was in love with Jefferson Airplane. I play it quite often on my guitar too. Cool chords and really good music. Although I haven't heard most of their songs, so far this is the best one.

   White Rabbit and Somebody to Love are Grace Slick's gifts to Jefferson Airplane and undoubtedly the best tracks of this band so far.

6. No Way Out

   

7. Miracles

   

   This may be one of the sexiest love songs that the 1970s ever produced. You know, when most people say that there aren't many autistic rock musicians, I usually point to Marty Balin as an example. He was basically the heart and soul of Jefferson Airplane/Starship, along with Grace Slick.

   One thing I like about "Miracles" is that there's almost no vocal structure. Everything just flows together perfectly in a freestyle-like pattern. I think "Red Octopus" is such an underrated masterpiece, as it fits well with other high-quality rock releases during the 1970s.

   The prettiest and best song they had. You didn't have to be high to enjoy it.

8. Light the Sky on Fire

   

9. Winds of Change

   

10. Jane

    

    My all-time favorite rock song. It all blends perfectly: Mickey Thomas's incredible vocals, the dissonant keyboard, and the best guitar solo ever. LOVE this song!

    Are you kidding me? This is one of the best rock songs of all time. It puts me in heaven every time I listen to it. It is way better than number 12 on the list. Also, it's their best song.

    Should be ranked MUCH higher. Awesome tune with incredible vocals by Mickey Thomas.

13. Count on Me

    

    And of course, here's Jefferson Starship's second best-selling album, "Earth," which contains this song. To be honest, I do like the group's softer-sounding ballads more than their hard rock tunes, and this song is no exception.

    I think it's easily tied with "Miracles" for its levels of smoothness, and Marty Balin gives off some Gary Wright vibes with his voice. In fact, Gary Wright's discography is also worth looking into. He used to work with George Harrison, and his voice is incredibly ethereal and soulful. Look up his album "The Dream Weaver." You will be amazed.

    This is the one for me! It takes me back to that happy place. It's my favorite of all time!

14. It's Not Enough

    

15. It's Not Over ('til It's Over)

    

16. Runaway

    

    My favorite song by Jefferson Starship. Incredible guitar lines and harmonies. This song always takes me somewhere else and brings back the butterflies of falling in love and wanting to run away.

17. Today

    

    Jerry Garcia plays the high notes in the recurring lick here.

18. With Your Love

    

    This is my favorite, although White Rabbit is a great song. Marty Balin's voice is special, and this song is perfect for him.

19. Volunteers

    

20. Sweeter Than Honey

    

21. Find Your Way Back

    

    The vocal combination of this group was hard to beat back in the day. They outdid themselves on this one. Their best by far.

    How could this list be complete without this heavy-hitting power ballad?

    Best song, or one of the best they made.

22. Stranger

    

23. Be My Lady

    

24. Wooden Ships

    

    Best song in the history of songs. Great harmonies, guitar, bass, and of course, lyrics.

25. Ride the Tiger

    

    Perfect hippy song. Should be in the top ten.

26. She Has Funny Cars

27. Embryonic Journey
