I absolutely love Journey (with Steve Perry). I have recently gone back to their Greatest Hits album and cannot find a bad song on it...(hence greatest hits, i guess)

But their music is awesome, lyrics awesome, and Steve Perry....God....I can't sum in words how good this guy was/is!

Do you have a favorite song from the band? Mine being a tie:

Wheel in the Sky and Faithfully are my favorites but the other set of songs in the GH album are up there.

I celebrate their entire catalog.

My favorite song is Sweet and Simple from Evolution.

I love the original Journey. My favorite album is Evolution, but particularly the lesser known tracks like:

Do You Recall, Majestic-Too Late, etc...

I listened to Journey as a kid. But that was before I realized the radio stations were ignoring much better music. I owned most of their albums and gave them away in the late 80's. Recently, I downloaded a few of their songs just for nostalgia sake. I got about 10 seconds into each song and promptly deleted them.
So, no, I don't like Steve Perry (and even less so after watching their story on VH-1)

The "original" Journey? Are you referring to the pre-Perry version of the band, which released 3 prog-rock orientated albums in the mid 70s before Perry joined up

Wormwood

Listening to them now.

Arrival is an awesome cd and Steve Augeri is a great lead singer. Maybe not the same as Steve Perry, but still good. I've seen the current line up 4 times.

Drive-In Nut

The new lineup is a joke. For some real laughs, head on over to the message boards at the bands official website. If you happen to mention Steve Perry, most of the fanboys (and girls) will attack with venom because they resent the fact that the band cannot sell any CDs with the current lineup. For some reason, they think that Sony did nothing to push the album and that this (rather than the fact that the album is a steaming pile of excrement) is why the new CD is selling like maggot infested hotcakes. Dont get me wrong, back in the eighties I was a huge Journey fan who understood that the music wasnt pushing any artistic envelopes, but could appreciate a good old mainstream pop/rock album. To be the devils advocate though, lets say that if you feel that Journey is one of the worst acts in music ever, the current lineup only helps to rationalize your opinion.

Count me in as a fan of the Steve Perry-led Journey. But I don't listen to much of their music anymore, but at the time it was more than acceptable as rock music with a few ballads tossed in from time to time.

JAA

Excellent point Illinois Enema Bandit. I was familiar with that version too, but I stand corrected:

I enjoyed the version of Journey that ceased being STARVING ARTISTS.

grunter

Steve Perry-era Journey was all about the ringing harmonics of Perry's massively proportioned schnozz.

Without that nose (and that stringy mullet), what is Journey but a pale, pale shadow of its former self?

ChefWinduAZ

I am a big fan of the Steve Perry era Journey. There is no Journey without him. It just doesn't sound right. As for my favorite song, it is a tie between:

Faithfully
&
Open Arms

Giantrobo

A legend in the singing world.

Did you know he's half Asian?

Just a lil' trivia for ya

POWERBOMB

I like both versions. I think radio doesn't want to play Journey. There isn't any room on the radio, but that doesn't make either Journey a bad band.

madcougar

You also noticed all this too? I thought it was just me. These people have real problems accepting reality. I love the way that they flame people who have anything negative about the new Steve. "He's family reads this forum. Think about the children!" Whatever losers.

Deke Rivers

Journey went downhill after thier 3rd album..The 4th was when they got Steve Perry an dwent the pop route..

Illinois Enema Bandit

Ah, the version which infested the early 80s airwaves with catchy but entirely vacuous and vapid pop rock

JAA

Ah, that would be correct!
