The year is 2024 - I am still lost in the 80s.❤
Me too
I was born in the 80s so I'm still part of it hehe
Always and forever! 80's ARE the best ever❤❤
Great place to be the 80s
I'm with you my friend.
Still listening in 2024.... Anyone else?😊🎉
I only came here bc of an interview that Bernie Taupin did on Graham Norton. I dislike much of what came out of the 80s.
Nope. I'm listening from the future: 1985
Moi et avec plaisir 😊😊
👍👍
👍👍
Anyone still listening to this…great tune. 2024
To this day I still don't understand why people hate this song so much, it's awesome I like it and it makes you feel good.
It's like the Load album is for old-school Metallica fans. It's a seismic shift in style for an iconic band.
It's about anti-corporate...yet has a super corporate 80s arena rock sound.
Don't know who hates this song. NOT ME!
People hate this song?!?!?! This is my childhood blasting this song on sing star
Its because it was bad for its time,but that doesn’t mean its not a good song.Especially for Starship
Man, this takes me back to my childhood! I always loved hearing this song on the radio and seeing this video on TV. I'm 45 and I still listen to the awesome music of the 80s!
Same
@@shermanhiggins6806 78 here.........relate like crazy.......I heard R&R from the very beginning.......60's 70's 80's I feel like it was all down hill at the end of the 80's....I could be wrong, but give me the classics every time.
I'm fifty eight love my music nice others should as well
All good 🐱 said that cat meows
Great 😊 music 🎼 is forever
I don't care how the critics were just trashing this song. It's still a great hit.
Fuck the critics!
@@theicchamp06 They'd better buck their ideas up.
The critics that showed sustain for this song are the same ones that think country music is better
Too true! This song may have never been recorded if record companies and radio didn’t trash their music
One of the best
I don’t care what anyone says. 80s music is something else
Agree
I agree MASSIVELY there mate
The best decade for music/videos EVER.
@@gypsy1m6 The 50s THEN 80s, the 70s are pretty good too.
@@DanielAppleton-lr9eq, for me it was the 80's because that is the decade of music I shared with my three precious babies via MTV...listening to and watching videos. I agree that other decades had their treasures, but sharing it with my babies made the 80's my true treasure.
You know what? Screw the music snobs who call this song “the worst”. It’s awesome and it just FEELS GOOD!
Yes I agree . I play it on repeat still
🤪🤪 they can't understand we treasure greatness
Ha, not as bad as "our house"
Haha, I love Starship I respect this song. But it truly is the worse to most of us.
soooo good lol

This song just never gets old. Love it.
That one part (where a giant red dice is rolling on the street trying to crush them) is kinda funny.

@@shuttittuppitt9355agreed
80's had great music. Love this song too.
@@shuttittuppitt9355 I think it's symbolic of the city selling out to casinos and destroying the live music that was the heart and soul of the city.
listened to this in 88 on my walkman my grandmother got me for christmas.
Still have my walkman and cassette tape!
We're still here knee deep in the hoopla.
gotta me a story behind that title..... I feel like I'm a little SAD for people who can't appreciate this story..
Back in the 80's, my town was very much the neon lights and starlit nightclubs epicentre in it's own right.
It's changed with the times of course but every time I hear this song, it takes me right back to when the neon lights dazzled everyone there, the massive fever for Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Bananarama, Queen, Bon Jovi, Van Halen and of course Starship could be felt in the air and how times were simpler. Even going to McDonald's back then was a bit of a ritual. I've never seen my town more excited than when Michael Jackson came in 1988 to play a show.
I was too young to experience it even though I was there but it's all there right back whenever this song plays to me.
Can't live without it man.
We built this city
We built this city on rock and roll

Don't tell us you need us 'cause we're the ship of fools
Looking for America, coming through your schools

People if you to know how good we had it in the 80s, please listen to this and enjoy.
We did have it good 😂 if we wanted to listen to a certain song we had to get the right home made/recorded tape fast forward checking ever 5 seconds if it was at the song. Them find the start of the song.
Today life is hard sucks we have to pick up our phone open a music app scroll through 1,000s of songs that cost next to nothing to find that one song. We have our whole music library with us on the bus.
Remember those portable CD players you could carry in your hand. Then you hand 50 CDs along to pick from
I listened to this song thousands of times since I was 7, and it still gives me the same feeling it did then. I love it.
The 80s ruled!! The best music than what's out there today
i agree with that
Couldn’t agree more.
Agree and it’s not even close
Yep.
💯
2024 and its still great
As a veteran, this song cheered me up!
Love it, Almost 40 years later and this still sounds better than most of todays Music.

Same here starship is a fantastic band
The music lets you remember where you were in your life
Who you were with and what you were doing

This song brought Starship back into the spotlight after several years. Still a good song to listen to today
The Muppet's cover is fun and it also reminds you of the greatness of this song and 80's music: czcams.com/video/KE-wJJW7p1I/video.html
While this particular song didn't seem to impress a majority of the music critic's? It absolutely has an undeniable appeal that was a huge part of the music of the 1980's. Magnificent tune!
Fuck the critics anyway. Just their opinion. Most don't know their head from their ass and if they didn't like it I do.
What's their excuse knowing Heavens business ❤😂
its these songs that make a classic
The lyrics wasn’t amusing to those critics masters the elite $$ listen to it closely, it’s sticking to the man
"I'm looking out over that Golden Gate bridge on another gorgeous sunny Saturday
and I'm seeing that bumper to bumper traffic." "It's your favorite radio station in your favorite radio city. The city by the bay, the city that rocks, the city that never sleeps."
My favorite part of the song.
This was a time when pure music was made, and I was privileged to have been in my teens
Lucky you! The “music” us Gen Z’ers have to “grow up with” is nothing but copied-and-pasted machine noises (with ZERO talent or hard work put in)

I wasn’t in my teens, I was older, but this was music I could still get into. Not like the junk that passes for music nowadays.
Better music and way better times.
I still love to listen to this music even until now - Sept 2023. The 80s music for me was the best. Lucky i was a teenager then and get to listen to all the nice music. 80s music never gets old
Listening in the car to this back in the day with my husband Gareth. Lost him in 2020 to cancer at 58yrs old. This reminds me of you Gar. Miss you love.❤❤

The 70's and 80's music has such meaning than today music. That is why it is so great. Just listen to the lyrics.
I remember roller skating to this song in the 80's, what great times.
The song, "WE BUILT THIS CITY" is the greatest anthem to the city I love more than any other in the United States of America. Loved even more by me than New York City. My family moved from New England to Seattle in 1960, and we stayed there for four years and, at that time, my grandma gave me a transitor radio, and I witnessed the birth of rock'n'roll (Roy Orbison, Rolling Stones, Ventures, Beatles). After 3 years, my dad got a job in New York City and we stayed there for only one year. During that year, I listened to WMCA radio, which was the most popular rock'n'roll channel in New York City. Then, we moved to California, and my dad bought a house in the East Bay. From that point on, THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK. After moving to the S.F. Bay area, I saw concerts by, JEFFERSON AIRPLANE, GRATEFUL DEAD, COUNTRY JOE AND THE FISH, CREAM, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY, THE BYRDS, and, and, and, and what was occurring during that era was a massive explosion of musical creativity. Hey, my collection of vinyl record albums grew to over 800 albums, and included all of the albums by Jefferson Airplane, The Fab Four, Moby Grape, Simon & Garfunkel, Love, Beach Boys, Them, Yardbirds, Lovin' Spoonful, as well as jazz albums by Sonny Stitt, Dexter Gordon, Max Roach, Thelonious Monk, Bobby Hutcherson, Anthony Braxton, McCoy Tyner, and Dave Holland. My collection of classical music albums consisted mostly of music by Charles Ives, Brahms, Bela Bartok, Gustav Mahler, and Paul Hindemith. Regarding Jefferson Airplane, my garage band had a repertoire of 70 songs and these included two songs by Jeff. Airplane, SHE HAS FUNNY CARS and WHITE RABBIT. My garage band had a girl singer.
Oh, I'd love to listen to your records!
Well, this song was written about Los Angeles, not SF.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Built_This_City#:~:text=Though%20the%20song%20was%20originally,over%20that%20Golden%20Gate%20Bridge%22.
Growing up we rocked this loud and clear on a ghetto blaster 80s still has the best musos 🙌
The best part about the 80z was time well spent respect and above all sincerity.
I miss the 80s so much. Everybody has their decade, and I'm so glad this was mine.
I was born In 89, and I feel, that I missed one helluva decade.
Of course for me the 90's is the decade for me, but still cannot feel other, than feeling, that I missed something.
Glad I can kinda live it afterwards by listening the awesome music 80's had.
This so mine wish I could go back to them. Life was much simpler
I think my decade is the 2020's. I know I will be looking back on this decade with nostalgia
The music of the 80’s is the best. There’s no comparison to today’s music. Love this song♥️♥️
what passes for music these days lol
actually the earlier, "classic" generation(s) of rock 'n roll--50's-70s--were miles better than the mediocre pop music of the 80's (and later decades)...I agree there was some good music still coming out in the 80's , but to me this song is NOT part of it 🙄
@@not-so-smartaleck8987 ,very agree! Second half of 80's are not good anymore.

80's music will always be better than today's music! I love this song!
The song that, at one time, made Grace Slick the oldest artist to have a number one song. She was 46 when this song topped the charts.
I did not know who the girl was until now...Im a little slow...
And 46 is Young!!
The oldest FEMALE artist. And Wikipedia says that song was Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now, at age 47.
Couldn't agree more. The 1980's was the golden age of music. There were more stars than you could shake a stick at
We grew up on this optimism and we carry it forward regardless. The spirit lives on!
I woke up with this song stuck in my head. 🤦♀️. I haven’t heard it in over 30 years
Well, I'm 65 and was living in the San Francisco Bay area at the time, so this has a special place in my heart! (Starship and the previous incarnation of Jefferson Airplane were from SF..)
I was so unlucky to not be a teenager during 80s &90s, this is just super nostalgic
80's rocks , 90's mostly sucks.
I was a teenager then and it was amazing, people got along, unlike today. We've gone backwards due to Politians dividing us so we won't focus on their crimes.
Yup, you really missed it, at the time we weren't aware of how special it was. Then the 90s were awesome too, after that.....yeah.........nothing special
The 80's is the best.. I'm a 90's baby but I got brought up with all past era's from my parents.. I love it... They don't make them like this anymore ❤️
@@callaway86 I dunno man, having one side push for medical castration on confused kids is kinda a tipping point, when the left wants to push trans bullshit on children that's kinda a tipping point, so yeah divided we are and for good reason..
I still remember watching my History teacher dancing to this at a high school pep rally in 1987! She was just standing off to the side of the basketball court while the cheer team was doing their thing. I believe she got more attention than anyone! Good times...
日本ではかつてフジテレビ系列でオンエアしていた朝の情報番組「とくダネ!」のオープニング曲としてお馴染みでした。
Pure nostalgia. 📺📼🕹💾
