Regardless I can say with confidence that Planes by Jefferson Airplane was a fucking horrible reunion single.

Seriously, how does We Built This City get so much hate when Planes not only exists, but was shat out by the classic lineup?
I don't think I've ever heard that before. Holy god.
I would never have thought of Planes, but I saw it once in 1989 and it was so odd and horrible I still remember it to this day. Didnt their reunion fizzle out right away? Was it because this was so bad?
If it wasn’t the lame song then they prolly just suddenly remembered why they all hated each other. Grace and her big sexy hair was worth watching it once though.

That was Grace? I thought it was Elaine Bennis.

That's a good one, great riff.

Those songs (and the third one) are BY FAR the worst crap to ever be released under the VH banner.

Eh. I'd still rather listen to them than VHIII. But yeah, not great.

Not me, they don't even sound like "songs". It sounds like they stitched together a bunch of Eddie riffs in a hurry and had Sammie sing silly lyrics over them.

Which is funny, because according to Sammy, it took 4 months to put those three songs together, which is why they didn't do a full album.

So apparently Motley does their best work after a break up. Ok so they all need to go away for 3 years and then come back.

Didn't see it mentioned yet...

Tesla - Caught in a Dream

I like other songs on the album better, but as a single it was good and is a well written song.
