On this day May 30, 1984, Jefferson Starship released their eighth studio album Nuclear Furniture. The album blended rock, synthesizers, and socially conscious lyrics, capturing the political tension and evolving sound of the era. It reached number 28 on the US Billboard 200 and featured standout tracks like No Way Out and Laying It on the Line.
This release marked a turning point for the band, as it was the final Jefferson Starship album to feature founding member Paul Kantner. His departure soon after led to the group's transformation into the next incarnation known simply as Starship.
Fun fact: While many sources list May 30 as the official release date, some list June as the month the album became widely available in stores.
