I guess you`re including Jefferson with that as well. Apart from Mickey Thomas they had some great vocalists which included Marty Balin, David Freiberg and of course Grace Slick. Not sure I`d put Mickey Thomas above any of those, but he is very good.
The problem with both Jefferson Starship/Starship was that you had a band with great vocalists and great musicians, who were sadly just contented to dish out a bland commercial rock sound because it was guaranteed to sell albums. It was a shame really considering just how creatively brilliant their parent group Jefferson Airplane had been. The only albums on any note were
Dragonfly and
Knee Deep in the Hoopla (which I know was as commercial as hell) but it had a lot of great stuff on it and was certainly Mickey Thomas`s best.
