Journey is one of the greats of rocks. It all began in 1973 when guitarist Neal Schon, bassist Ross Valory, guitarist George Tickner, and drummer Prairie Prince joined together to form the band. They were all instrumental. They released their debut album Journey in 1974. Tickner left the band to attend medical school and Journey was without a second guitarist. They moved on and their next three albums all charted higher than their debut.
Enter Steve Perry, their lead vocalist. With him, the band soared to new heights and produced their hits. These include "Any Way You Want It", "Don't Stop Believin'", "Lights", "Open Arms", "Faithfully", "Girl Can't Help It", "Searate Ways (Worlds Apart)", "Who's Cryin' Now", "Lovin', Touchin', Sueezin'", and "Only the Young". The group continued to achieve more success, as they toured with a man who would become an "American Idol" judge, bassist Randy Jackson. They also gained popularity as another Fox TV show, "Glee", used their song "Don't Stop Believin'" as a lauching point. Journey has also inspired a video game. Journey still remains popular and remains forever among rock legends. Here is one of their greatest hits off of their album Departure, "any Way You Want It".

Dude! Journey is one of my favorite bands ever. Don't stop believin' may be my favorite song ever. Their entire greatest hits album is insane. What's on the front of it anyway? Is it some kind of beetle?
Anyway great post. All the songs you listed there are classic hits! Great video too. I'm totally subscribing to this blog
Livin' on a prayer is one of my favorite songs, but Don't Stop Believin is a close second. Journey is a great band.
Journey is a fantastic band. They have many good songs, but the one that everyone knows and loves is Don't Stop Believing. That song is almost as popular as some of Michael Jackson's songs. I would even dare to say almost as popular as Thriller. All in all though I have to say that I really like Journey and their music.
