Album of the Day

With Starship’s second album, NO PROTECTION, the San Francisco quartet continued to soar. From opener “Beat Patrol” to the Diane Warren-penned closer “Set the Night to Music,” there’s no shortage of strong material here - including a pair of Top 10 singles in “It's Not Over ('Til It's Over)” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now,” which was the #1 song in America on this day in 1987. Prominent synths and electronic drums bring the set closer to techno-rock than the psychedelia of Jefferson Airplane, with producers including Keith Olsen and Narada Michael Walden adding loads of commercial polish. Grace Slick’s final album with Starship, NO PROTECTION sees the legendary vocalist out on a high note.
