"Girls Like You" by Starship

Starship is the third incarnation of a band that started in the 60s as Jefferson Airplane. Probably undergoing more personnel changes over the years than any other outfit, their second incarnation went by the name of Jefferson Starship beginning in 1974. This version of the band was led by Marty Balin and Grace Slick as before, but in 1979 singer Mickey Thomas (the famed vocalist who sang on the Elvin Bishop hit, "Fooled Around And Fell In Love") replaced Balin. By 1984, legal troubles with the name forced them to abbreviate it as Starship. Grace Slick was the only member to be present through each incarnation (she left the band in 1988).

In addition to the name change, Starship was a huge departure from the band's sound as well. But adopting the 80s trend to mix synth pop with rock brought them the biggest hits of their career. Starship hit the top of the charts three times with "We Built This City," "Sara," and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now." The band's popularity waned with the start of the 90s, making "Good Heart" their last chart appearance (#81 in 1991).

"Girls Like You" is a rebel couple's anthem that was one of the stronger cuts from their 1987 record, "No Protection." This record had two hit singles with "It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)" (#9) and "Beat Patrol" (#46), but "Girls Like You" should have been a contender.
