June 6, 200817 yr Author i think the saddest story here is 'starship'... formerly jefferson starship, 60's innovators that were at the cutting edge of american psychedelia, reduced to producing this utter carp! 'nothings gonna stop us' has to be one of the blandest ever tracks for a former great, even worse then anything fleetwood mac stooped to!
June 6, 200817 yr I bought the following : U2 - I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For The Housemartins - Five Get Over Excited Beastie Boys - No Sleep Till Brooklyn Zodiac Mindwarp & The Love Reaction - Prime Mover The Cult - Lil' Devil Hated Starship!! :angry:
