We Built This City

“We Built This City” is one of the most criticised songs in pop history, yet also one of the most played.
It’s regularly voted both “worst song ever” and “irresistible 80s classic”. Somehow, both things are true at the same time.

Starship’s biggest hits came after most people assumed the band was finished.
“We Built This City” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” both hit No.1 in the mid-80s, proving that a reinvention at the exact wrong-looking time can still work spectacularly well.
