Linda Ronstadt hit with the Stone Poneys in the 60s as did Jefferson Airplane which is obviously the precursor to Jefferson Starship as they are the precursor to Starship. Believe me, I wrestled with those two facts & almost gave them asterisks. I just feel like Stone Poneys deserve to be treated as a distinct & separate chart entity from their fabulous lead singer's later solo work. Treating Starship as separate is on much shakier ground, as Jefferson Starship was at first essentially the Airplane sans Jorma & Jack. My first instinct was actually to treat 1987 Starship as separate from 1984 Jefferson Starship. Just a gut reaction. I'll muse on it and may yet change things.

IMHO, the biggest change occurred between 1978 and 79, when Marty Balin left and was replaced by Mickey Thomas on lead vocals. But I guess the rest of the group stayed basically the same, so they're still the same entity.

But I guess the rest of the group stayed basically the same, so they're still the same entity. Grace Slick also briefly left at that time, so Freedom At Point Zero & most of Modern Times were missing both of the iconic vocalists. As much as I hate associating the hideous post-1984 version of the group with their earlier counterparts, I've edited the trivia to count all the incarnations as one entity.

I'd have to agree with that, I believe even Paul Kantner admitted that when Mickey joined Jefferson Starship, they changed their sound to accommodate him.

Also like to add that the April 1, 1972 show is the only time the Santana brothers appeared in the Top 40 simultaneously.
- Carlos Santana was at #38 with Santana's "No One To Depend On" - Jorge Santana debuted at #32 as a member of Malo with "Suavecito"

This is your baby so you can do with it what you what but I would put an asterisk next to Greg Kihn Band when you say last top 40 hit. Just last week we heard on the 1985 show a song by Greg Kihn solo which is his last top 40 hit of any kind. Will be interesting to see how you handle it next week when the Elton John Band is at #1 with "Philly Freedom". I think there's 6 people on the planet that don't consider that a solo effort just like everything else Elt put out in his 30 years on the charts outside of his duets.

I think there's 6 people on the planet that don't consider that a solo effort just like everything else Elt put out in his 30 years on the charts outside of his duets. I tend to go with my gut when it comes to a gray area for something like Greg Kihn (or the Stone Poneys . Greg pointedly dropped the Band moniker (a moniker under which he'd had his greatest success) & returned to solo billing for "Lucky", so I decided to treat that single as a solo effort. In Elton's case, you're right - "Philadelphia Freedom" is overwhelmingly considered to be a solo effort despite the billing, and I'll treat it as such. It's a one-off recognition of the same guys who'd backed him on most of his solo billed hits & he went right back to solo billing for Captain Fantastic. Thanks as ever for keeping me honest, Duke!
