      @@ahisupermonster In the Eighties at least, I definitely made a distinction between hard rock and heavy metal. It's hard to make the distinction, but it went something like this. If the bands sang about romances or partying, I considered it hard rock. If they sang about literature, historical events, the occult, or other dark subjects (such as suicide), I considered it heavy metal.

      ...indeed, it is difficult to keep track, but, Grace was not on this album (Freedom at Point Zero) , but was on the next album "Modern Times". I don't think any of the original members were on this album, as you say , hard to keep track, But Craig Chaquicco was the one of the guitar players and he had an great sound. This incarnation was sort of just a start up band that capitalized from the name "Jefferson Starship"...but they still sounded great, but not at all like Jefferson Airplane or the second incarnation with Marty Balin as the singer (Miracles, Count on Me)....but I liked them all...maybe that helps with the score card, but still some blank spaces...then they did "Nuclear Furniture" in the 80s and it sucked

      Untrue. Two of the key members of Jefferson Starship had not been in the Airplane: Lead guitarist, Craig Chaquico, and bass/keyboardist, Pete Sears. These two gentlemen were also the primary songwriters for Jefferson Starship hits from 1974-1984. They had no connection to Airplane.

    Thank you for bringing this back around. Funny story, I was 15 years old when this was on the radio on heavy rotation on rock stations. It was the summer after freshman year and I was a certified wimp and was miserable. I was picked on by everyone, even the nerds. My dads best friend, a family friend and like an uncle to me, bought me a weight bench and weights. I stayed in the entire summed before my sophomore year listening to the radio and working out. This song was a motivational song for me. I went back my sophomore year a completely different dude. I was defined, cut, had a six pack, shoulders and neck were tight. Changed my life forever. The football coaches wanted me to join the JV team and no one pushed me around anymore. I didn't become a jock or an asshole, didn't pick fights, I killed it where it counted, I had the girls attention. Just a story because this song reminds me of that time. Thanks!

    "Jane" was arranged as a rock hit by Jefferson Starship lead guitarist, Craig Chaquico. He wrote the guitar riffs and licks (and the solo!), along with the bass, drum and keyboard parts. He was instrumental in the hiring of Thomas after Grace Slick and Marty Balin left the band and wrote the rock arrangement to what had been brought to the band as a folk love ballad initially by David Freiberg and his writing partner, Jim McPherson.

    One of my favorite Jefferson Starship songs. They are rock. When they went into the 80s they adapted and had several hits. "We built this city" is another hit of theirs in the 80s. The songs were recorded back then differently. Everything is digital today. Back then it was all analog and many people will say the sound was definitely different (better). Add to that people were actually playing instruments instead of digital auto-tuned stuff and you quickly begin to appreciate the voices of the singers like Mick and Slick and the other greats form that time. Oh yeah, "Find Your Way Back" is another great one from JS.

    I used to play this all the time, back in the day. I couldn't get enough of it. It instantly reminds me of Rainbow from the same era because I had it recorded on the same cassette tape, at the time as a few Rainbows songs! Namely, from the Graham Bonnet and Joe Lynn Turner era that had the same semi-commercial sound but still rocked sufficiently enough to be classed as such. 'Magic', by Rainbow is one that's hugely under appreciated.

    What an absolutely fantastic description of it. I remember thinking it was a bit too pop for me right when it came out but I think I was in high school and I did manage to figure out that banging piano lick like right after the song ended on the radio, I went straight to the piano and got it down because it's just so fun. But now that I'm older and have been around music for a long time, the vocals on this by Mickey Thomas just blow me away every single time. I've heard this song so many times but I always get caught up in it all over again. And that's a fantastic guitar solo in there the kind of rhythm and blues or maybe more Soul kind of sections those two sections in the middle they sound great too and they make great Transitions and everything to me is fantastic about this song. I especially love his Improv vocals at the end of the song while the band keeps repeating changing. And this is a long and prestigious tradition, especially at a live show if you can get the audience reciting and repeating Part near the end along with your backing vocalist then the main singer can just kind of totally go off in the spaces between. It's like a beneficial relationship all the way around. So fun.

    Yoicks! How did I miss this?? A definite favorite.
    This is a unique album, since it's one of only a few without Grace Slick. She was in alcohol rehab and Marty Balin had gotten sick of touring, so they brought in Mickey Thomas, instead. Over the long haul, this tended up softening the band, because singers who can hit high notes so effortlessly tend to love ballads, where they can show their skills. But this album banged.
    (And Mickey really does have a great voice. Can't blame him for being proud of it.)

    In the 1960's they began as a Hippie band with some freaky songs. By the 1970's when half the band split off, I would have called this era 'FM Rock', the kind of soft commercial rock that's melodic, catchy, but has the clean and expansive production values that American FM radio stations liked. Pretty safe stuff, but sounds good driving to I guess.

    Hey Brad, Lex isn't too far off from the 80's with this song, recorded in 79'. It was the beginning of a new rock genre, sort of. Not really though, as rock is so diverse throughout history from the 50's all the way to today. Rock really never dies. Yes Lex, you nailed it when you said "It doesn't even matter what they're singing about" For many of us, if we knew the lyric to a song, it must of been some catchy lyrics to remember them. Some people were into lyric, probably mostly because they like singing. But most of us were like you, just getting into the instrumentals and beats, or the bass line, and especially the solo's

I like them more than most most metal bands only because I'm a classic rock guy from later 60's and 70's era. 80's too, but I stuck with music from my teens and early 20's. Liliac is very 70's like with some of their covers and some originals like "Sail Away". Something about those kids that bring me back. Their not as much Heavy Metal, as melodic rock. And Melody, Abby, Ethan and Sam kill it. Justin is fast approaching.
      Do you know this young rocker? She's got something special and attitude as a performer for that old rock vibe.
