I can understand others liking it for a lot of the right reasons. Maybe I should have chose "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", the theme to Mannequin that was just as cheesy and without that crowd pleasing attitude, but "We Built This City" was something I chose on memory and gut reaction.
"Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" is a far better choice for 'worst' as the song is the perfect example of a commercial effort that doesn't have any songcraft to it. For the record the Knee Deep in the Hoopla album was by and large the only really good thing that Jefferson Starship and Starship put out, which was a real pity really considering the talent on offer there.
