Jefferson Starship

Jefferson Starship was a hard rock band created as an update of Jefferson Airplane in the seventies. They were phenomenally successful, with almost all of their albums being bestsellers and many of their singles being hits. They also had three additional rock hits. Two compilations also went gold. Despite this they are not well-remembered and do not receive any airplay on most classic rock stations. In the eighties the group updated to the pop rock group Starship, at which time they garnered the major hit We Built This City. Because they were a continuation of Jefferson Airplane, they remained a part of the Haight-Ashbury sound going on at the time.
