In 1985, Starship released Knee Deep In The Hoopla and immediately scored two #1 hits. The first was “We Built This City”, written by Bernie Taupin, Martin Page, Dennis Lambert, and Peter Wolf (producer), and inspired by Bay Area power-rock station KSAN-FM. This song was trashed at the time by Kantner, and was later declared to be the “worst song of all time” by Blender magazine. VH1 also named it the number-one “Most Awesomely Bad Song” on a top-50 countdown co-sponsored with Blender. The second #1 was “Sara”; no previous incarnation of Jefferson Airplane/Starship had had a #1 hit. The album itself reached #7, went platinum, and spawned two more singles: “Tomorrow Doesn’t Matter Tonight” (#26), and “Before I Go” (#68).
In 1987, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” was featured in the film Mannequin and hit #1, although only Slick and Thomas (plus Craig Chaquico’s guitar solo) appeared on it.
