Starship hit the worst song of the 80s
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 10 October 2011
Starship’s ‘We Built This City’ has been voted the worst song on the 1980s in a Rolling Stone poll. Presumably the ‘Birdie Song’ never reached America. Though Chris de Burgh’s ‘Lady In Red’ clearly did, because it comes in at number three. I mean, come on, I’ve not been sent here to stick up for Starship or anything, but surely ‘We Built This City’ is alright when put next to ‘Lady In Red’.
Though I’ve just noticed Europe’s ‘Final Coundown’ came in at number two. Europe’s ‘Final Countdown’ is a classic. Sorry Rolling Stone, your poll has just been discarded. This story will self-destruct in due course.
