Nuclear Furniture 1984 Album

Jefferson Starship

The last record before Jefferson Starship morphed into Starship, and into pop music history (for better or worse), was really just as much of a blatant stab at the top of the charts as the next record would be. Sure, there's a moderate vein of old Airplane rebellion to be mined, that is, if you can locate it underneath huge banks of synths, power vocals, and screamin' guitar solos. Somehow, 1984 audiences didn't see "No Way Out" as the mega-huge stomping hit that "We Built This City" turned out to be for 1985 audiences. Why is that? Who knows? Tastes are fickle. This album may not be great, or even good, but if you're looking for the quintessential goofy 80's pop record to geek out to, this is a really good candidate....
